Gift cards are a great way to give someone the freedom to buy what they need. By offering them an Apple Gift Card, they can choose between Macs, iPads, iPhones, services, digital goods, etc. For a long time, the Cupertino tech giant has backed the iTunes Pass that was in the Wallet app. This allowed users to spend from his credit in Apple Stores by scanning his QR code. The company is now finally retiring iTunes Pass in favor of the Apple Account Card. Similarly, you can find the new card in Wallet, but it works without having to scan a code. Alternatively, you can just tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on the NFC reader – as you normally would with Apple Pay.
iOS 15.5 Beta 2 Changes (19F5057e): New Apple Account Balance Card Image (iTunes Pass rebranding). Pay with your iPhone in the Apple Store, shop online, or buy apps, subscriptions, and other services pic.twitter.com/cKVIWqNEVw

The effects of this feature were shared by Steve Moser On Twitter during the beta testing phase of iOS 15.5. However, the company did not mention this change in the release notes for this release. It seems that this feature was not enabled until recently either. Users using iOS 15.5 or later will be able to add it to their Wallet app through the plus (+) icon in the top right corner. However, it should be noted that the option to add it will only appear if you have money deposited in your Apple account.
Once you add your Apple Account Card to Wallet, you’ll be able to access it by double-clicking on your iPhone or Apple Watch. After choosing the card, you can pay with it at the Apple Store by holding it next to the NFC reader. It is expected that you can still use your account balance in the App Store and other digital purchases from Apple.
Do you usually add money to your Apple account or do you pay the company directly with your bank card? Let us know in the comments section below.
