Apple Card customers need not pay their June payment.
Apple and Goldman Sachs have extended the Customer Assistance Program.
The program is designed to help people who are struggling financially because of coronavirus.

Apple and partner Goldman Sachs have confirmed that the Customer Assistance Program will be extended through June, allowing people to defer their Apple Card payments if required. The program has allowed customers to do that for April and May so far but we don't know how long it will be in place for.
