Apple Card, like most credit cards in the US do not use RFID in their credit cards or debit cards.


In the US it is used most frequently in passports and the automatic payment systems on toll roads.


In my opinion the products offering RFID protection are just preying on the general public and their lack of understanding how credit cards and NFC (Near Field Communication) products work.
