Apple Card Savings Account Available Starting Today With 4.15% Interest Rate
The feature allows Apple Card users to open a high-yield savings account from Goldman Sachs in the Wallet app on their iPhone and start earning interest on their Daily Cash balance. Users can also earn interest on personal funds deposited into the savings account through a linked bank account, or from their Apple Cash balance.
To open a savings account in the Wallet app, users will tap on the Apple Card, tap on the circle with three dots at the top of the screen, tap Daily Cash, and select Set Up Savings. Once the account is set up, all Daily Cash received from that point on will be automatically deposited into it and start earning interest. If they prefer, users can choose to have Daily Cash added to their Apple Cash balance instead at any time.
Apple Card Savings allows a maximum balance of $250,000, and balances are fully insured by the FDIC. To access funds stored in the account, users can transfer money to their Apple Cash balance or to a linked external bank account, a process that Apple says can take 1-3 business days to be completed. There are no fees for withdrawals.
Apple Card Savings requires an iPhone with iOS 16.4 or later and is available to U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older. Apple has published a support document with additional information about the feature.

Top Stories: iPhone 15 Pro and iOS 17 Rumors, Apple Card Savings Coming Soon, and More
This week saw back-and-forth reports about the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max volume buttons and mute switch/button. as well as the fate of a fourth-generation iPhone SE, plus we got some fresh rumors about what we might see with iOS 17 later this year. It also looks like Apple is gearing up for the launch of its Apple Card-linked Savings account as soon as this Monday, so read on for all the details on these stories and more!
Kuo: iPhone 15 Pro Models Will No Longer Feature Solid-State Buttons
The next-generation iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will no longer feature solid-state buttons as previously rumored, according to well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple’s change in plans was also noted by analyst Jeff Pu, who believes the solid-state buttons have been delayed until the iPhone 16 Pro next year. As a result, Pu no longer expects iPhone 15 Pro models to be equipped with two additional Taptic Engines that would have provided haptic feedback when the solid-state buttons were pressed.
iPhone 15 Pro Now Expected to Feature Two Volume Buttons and Mute Switch Replaced With Button
What a whirlwind of a week for iPhone 15 Pro rumors. The latest information suggests that the device will still be equipped with two volume buttons like existing models, but the longstanding Ring/Silent switch is expected to be replaced with a button.
While a unified volume button is no longer expected for the iPhone 15 Pro, we shared exclusive renders of what the design would have looked like. It’s possible that Apple will move forward with this design with the iPhone 16 Pro next year.
iOS 17 Rumored to Improve Search, Dynamic Island, Control Center, and More
Ahead of Apple unveiling iOS 17 at WWDC in June, an anonymous source who shared accurate information in the past has revealed potential new features coming with the update, including improvements to Search, the Dynamic Island, Control Center, and more.
The source also claimed that Apple is internally testing interactive Home Screen widgets on iOS 17, but they are unsure if this feature will make the final cut.
Production of 15-Inch MacBook Air Components Underway, WWDC Launch Looking Likely
Display panel production for a larger-screened 15.5-inch MacBook Air has been ramping up since February, according to analyst Ross Young. He says he doesn’t know the “precise launch timing” and assumes it could happen in “late April/early May,” but a debut at WWDC in early June is perhaps more likely to give Apple an opportunity to show it off on stage.
Design wise, the larger MacBook Air is expected to feature essentially the same design as the current 13.6-inch model and it appears it will use a similar M2-like chip rather than a next-generation M3 chip.
Apple Card Savings Account Likely Launching Next Week
Apple Card Savings will likely be available starting Monday, April 17, according to backend code on Apple’s servers uncovered by @aaronp613. The code also suggests that an iPhone with iOS 16.3 or later will be required to use the feature.
The feature will let Apple Card users open a high-yield savings account from Goldman Sachs in the Wallet app and start earning interest on their Daily Cash balance.
iPhone SE 4: Here’s What the Latest Rumors Say
Rumors about a fourth-generation iPhone SE have been circulating since just months after the current model launched in 2022. In an article this week, we recapped the latest rumors about the next iPhone SE, including possible features and release timing.
The current iPhone SE features a 4.7-inch display, a 12-megapixel rear camera, 5G, and the A15 Bionic chip. It is the last new iPhone model with Touch ID sold by Apple.

Sephora’s Savings Event is in full swing, which means Beauty Insider members can save big on their favorite products, including the Shark FlexStyle and Dyson’s Airwrap and Supersonic. Depending on which tier you fall into (Insider, VIB, or Rouge), you can save up to 20% between now and April 24.
As with any sale, there’s a bit of fine print to keep in mind. Sadly, this offer limits Insiders to just one Dyson item, one Shark Beauty item, three Nutrafol items, and three tarte Shape Tape Concealers per transaction. This coupon code can’t be combined with other promotions or offers, including Beauty Insider Cash, Rouge Reward, or rewards. Even so, 20% off is better than nothing, especially when investing in high-end hair and beauty tools.
That said, here’s the savings breakdown:
-
20% offer valid for Rouge members 4/14/23 – 4/24/23
-
15% offer valid for VIB members 4/18/23 – 4/24/23
-
10% offer valid for Insider members 4/18/23 – 4/24/23
How to become a Sephora Beauty Insider
Becoming an Insider is easy and free. All you have to do is sign up online or in-store, and you’re in. To level up to the VIB or Rouge tiers, you’ll need to spend a certain amount of money at Sephora ($375 per year and $1,000 per year, respectively), but the perks are worth it, especially if you’re spending the money anyway. Plus, all Beauty Insiders get free shipping on all orders, with no minimum purchase required.
This offer is valid in-store and online at any Sephora US or Canada store, at Kohl’s, on sephora.com, sephora.ca, and kohls.com. If you’ve had your eye on the Shark FlexStyle or one of Dyson’s coveted hair tools, now’s the time to snatch them up before the sale ends on April 24.

Apple Card Savings Account Likely Launching on April 17
Apple Card users will be able to open a high-yield savings account from Goldman Sachs in the Wallet app on their iPhone and start earning interest on their Daily Cash balance. Apple has yet to reveal what the account’s interest rate will be, but Goldman Sachs’ existing Marcus high-yield savings account currently has a 3.75% APY.
In addition to Daily Cash, users will be able to deposit their own funds into the savings account through a linked bank account, or from their Apple Cash balance. Users will be able to withdraw funds to a linked bank account at any time, with no fees.
To open a savings account in the Wallet app, users will tap on the Apple Card, tap on the circle with three dots at the top of the screen, tap Daily Cash, and select Set Up Savings. Once the account is set up, all Daily Cash received from that point on will be automatically deposited into it and start earning interest. If they prefer, users will still be able to have Daily Cash added to their Apple Cash balance instead at any time.
After re-examining the backend code, it seems like Apple Card Savings Accounts may go live on April 17
Additionally, it seems like the customized Chinese Apple Pay transit cards may go live on April 18 https://t.co/ljJxjqaIFy

Apple Card provides 2% to 3% Daily Cash on purchases made with Apple Pay and 1% on purchases made with the physical card. Apple’s credit card remains available in the U.S. only, meaning this savings account feature will only be available there.
Apple first announced the savings account in October and said it would be available in the coming months. It’s likely that Apple Card Savings has faced delays, as the feature was initially listed in the iOS 16.1 Release Candidate notes, but it did not end up launching with that update and is still not available six months after being announced.
Apple has gradually expanded into financial services over the past few years. The launch of Apple Card Savings would follow last month’s limited rollout of Apple Pay Later, a “buy now, pay later” service for financing purchases made with Apple Pay.

Apple Preparing to Launch Apple Card Savings Account
The appearance of the code indicates that Apple has furthered its work on the savings account, and that it will be introduced in the very near future. Prior to the March 28 launch of Apple Pay Later, references showed up in the code the day before, so there is a chance that the Apple Card savings account could launch as soon as this week.

The code contains the terms of service for the savings account, as well as images that Apple will likely use for the feature in the Wallet app and other locations. It mentions iOS 16.3, but it is not yet clear if iOS 16.3 will be required to sign up for and use an account.
Apple back in October announced plans to introduce a “high-yield” savings account for Apple Card users to store Daily Cash, with all Daily Cash earned automatically deposited into the account. Apple at the time said the savings account would be available “in the coming months,” but there has not been an update since then.
Apple Card users can sign up for the savings account through Goldman Sachs, Apple’s financial partner for the Apple Card. Like the Apple Card, the savings account will be managed using the Wallet app on iPhone or the Wallet section of the Settings app on the iPad.
While Daily Cash will be automatically deposited in the account once it is created, Apple Card users can opt to change where their Daily Cash is delivered in the future. There are also options for depositing additional money into the savings account through a linked bank account or through an Apple Cash balance. Funds can be withdrawn at any time with no fees or penalties.

Get great blowouts at home with big savings on a refurbished Dyson Supersonic hair dryer
Save $160: As of April 7, you can get a refurbished Dyson Supersonic hair dryer on sale for $269.99 at Walmart.

Dyson Supersonic hair dryer (Refurbished)
(opens in a new tab)
You know it, you love it: the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. It’s famous for two things: helping you achieve gorgeous, salon-quality blowouts, and an exorbitant price tag. Spending $430 on a hair dryer might seem outlandish to some, but for anyone looking to save on salon visits over time, it’s a major boon. Unfortunately, its price can be an equally major barrier for most. But what if you could get the much-lauded hair tool for under $300?
As of April 7, you can get a refurbished Dyson Supersonic hair dryer at Walmart for just $269.99, which is a whopping $160 less than its normal price of $429.99. This is the original iron and Fuschia colorway. It may not be brand-new, but it will carry Walmart’s seal of approval — it’ll look new, and you’ll have peace of mind that the retailer has tested, cleaned, and inspected the hair dryer so you know it’ll work out of the box.
This deal is especially lucrative as this refurb is priced at even less than what Dyson sells its own refurbished Supersonic hair dryer for. Dyson typically charges $329.99, and right now it’s out of stock at the retailer’s online storefront. Double score.
You’re not just paying for the Dyson name, though. This hair dryer really does get the job done, and it does it well. It features high-velocity air jets that help dry your hair efficiently rather than overheating it. It keeps heat damage to a minimum so you can protect your locks instead of burning them up. That way, you get great-looking hair that dries quickly every time.
So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to go ahead and lock one of these bad boys in, consider this your green light.
