How is any card that can be added to Apple Pay or Android Pay different from any other?

The statements, rewards, paying balances, support (via iMessage), etc. are all built directly into the Wallet app.
Especially the paying of balances.

I've had my Apple Card for a little over a week, and it's great how well the app works.

Paying my bill is two taps and a FaceID authentication. That's it. There is simply no comparison to the process using my other credit card apps.

Apple let's me make multiple payments each day. My Chase card used to allow that, but hasn't for about a year.

Apple lets me pay any day I want. Chase doesn't process payments in weekends. It sometimes credits me for the payment, but it doesn't fully process until Monday. And if I make a payment in a Saturday, I can't make another one on Sunday.

The Apple Card is the most frictionless credit card experience I've had in the 28 years I've had credit cards.

Also, the dollar amount in interest you pay can be easily understood with a slider.
