If you’re looking at your credit card online, all you’re seeing is an “authorization.”
Basically Apple is checking w/ your card issuer to make sure that “You’re Good for the Amount”
Authorizations generally also put a “hold” on that amount — reducing your available credit — but no payment is due.
You’ll receive an actual charge when the item ships.
