Asdiming that you activated the Titanium Card … ??? … you can use the titanium card just like any other physical card and monitor/pay your account via https://card.apple.com/


That said, by the “letter” of the agreement, failure to maintain a required device could be interpreted so as to restrict the account to an Apple Line of Credit only.


Whether GS might enforce the section on “Required Devices” is unknown … but they certainly could.

Apple Card accounts are not closed for lack of use. Any message you may have received purporting such things is very likely a scam.


If you applied for Apple Card without an iPhone or iPad, you can only use the Apple Card at Apple Stores and the online Apple Store.


Apple IDs (different to the Apple Card) are also never closed for lack of use.

If you explain exactly what message you received, someone may be able to more accurately advise.


If you have an actual physical titanium metal Apple Card, you can use it in any store that accepts Master Card. You do not need an apple device for that. Though how did you exactly get an Apple Card without an Apple device. An iPhone is required to order a titanium Apple Card.


Did you use to have an iPhone and no longer have one?
