The phone doesn't store your card number. Apple brokers a token at setup, secures it on-device, and manages it afterward (suspend, re-issue).

So it doesn't generate a second card number like other things I've used?

But anyway it sounds like the answer to my question is no, Apple is not doing anything meaningful per payment. They play a role in setting up a card and that's it. Is that accurate?
