That’s more properly called the AppleCard Titanium.

And it’s activated by the card carrier (packaging).

The AppleCard Titanium contains no RF components. (i.e. it has no NFC “Tap to Pay” capability)

There is no physical card associated w/ AppleCash.

What card are you activating, Apple Card Mastercard or an Apple gift card?

I would assume it's the metal Apple Cash credit card.

Should be able to hold the top of your phone onto the card and it will recognise it and then a popup will open to add it to your Apple Wallet app.
