An iPhone can be used to buy stocks through a brokerage app, but the trade itself is handled by the brokerage rather than by an Apple investing feature.
- Choose a regulated brokerage that is appropriate for your location and needs.
- Install its official app and create or sign in to your brokerage account.
- Complete any identity verification and funding steps required by the broker.
- Search for the investment, review the order type and quantity, and inspect the estimated trade before submitting it.
Investments can lose value. Check fees, tax implications, order types, and the brokerage’s protections before placing a trade; do not treat an app’s ease of use as evidence that an investment is suitable.
