To activate the card issued by banks, you need to call the bank and verify your details, and then the support person activates your card. However, that is not the case with Apple Titanium Card. That’s because the card doesn’t have any number, expiry date, or even a CVV. There’s literally no detail by which the Apple support executive can activate your card. Kindly note that users of iPhone XS, XS Max/XR and iPhone X (and earlier) have to follow three different methods to activate Apple’s physical credit card.
