Seems like Apple’s support article was written with a particularly fussy cardholder in mind.
This isn’t some failing of the Apple Card specifically. All credit cards can be stained by leather and denim. People just don’t usually care at all. And most people probably won’t care with this card either.
But I’m sure some will, so this support article exists.
I’m sure some will. I have one. It’s a really heavy and sleek card. Like most things Apple, they did away with almost everything they could. No signature line, no fine print, no customer service phone number. (Remember when Apple was able to get rid of the FCC stuff on their phones?)
But all that said, I’m not going to add hassle to my life by treating it any different. That just seems too Patrick Bateman. 2 years from now, I expect it’ll be worn and rough looking.

This isn't just another card. People will treat it like an Apple product. Which means they will have protective case or Card Protector wrap around it.
Seriously if the product itself is as exquisite as I dream of, I will surely want to learn how to take care of it.

That article is basically a tweet. One nudge of my finger and it was already the comment section, but it seems you can shorten it even further.
Form over function? or should Apple have just stuck with showing the card through Apple Wallet App?
