> There will be a physical titanium card, too, but there’s no credit card number, CVV, expiration date, or signature. All of that authorization information is stored directly in the Apple Wallet app.

Does this mean that the card doesn't contain sensitive information in the chip or mag stripe? Will only work if it's near your phone?

If so, this is quite different from status quo, and touches on what the Coin card failed to do.

It's likely just a regular card and the stripe will be clonable. Saying there's "no number" sounds like a gimmick that has nothing to do with real risks.
