No, tap-to-pay is only supported on an iPhone in the Wallet App. The physical card is made of titanium metal which interferes with magnetic signals. The Apple Card was designed from the ground up to be completely digital in the Wallet App. The physical card is available to be used with terminals that support swipe-to-pay where tap-to-pay is not supported. In a few years both Mastercard and Visa have announced the swipe strip and printed account details are going away. Retailers who have stuck to the old methods will be out in the cold if they don’t upgrade.
