Some iPhone Users Experiencing Issues With Apple Card Payments [Resolved]
If you have been experiencing issues with paying off your Apple Card today, you are not alone, as complaints are starting to mount online.

As noted by Aaron Zollo, host of the YouTube channel ZolloTech, some users attempting to make a payment towards their Apple Card are receiving an "Account Services Unavailable" error that says "Apple Pay services are currently unavailable."
Apple has since updated its
system status page to confirm there are Apple Card issues, noting that some users may not be able to apply for an Apple Card, add an Apple Card to the Wallet app, or pay their bill.
Update: Apple's system status page now says the issues are resolved.
