Apple Cards also have the nice feature that the entire mag-stripe CC number is virtual and different/distinct from the number used by contactless/Apple Pay, the number used by the EMV, and the number given by the App for cases where something requests you manually type in a CC number. Most of those numbers can be changed in the App when needed. So even in the cases where someone skims or leaks an Apple Card CC number you typically have more protection than an average card.
