The short answer
APPLECARD GSBANK is a payment toward an Apple Card balance — Goldman Sachs is the issuing bank. It's money you sent to pay the card, not a new Apple purchase.
Why it shows up like this
Apple Card runs on Goldman Sachs' banking infrastructure, so ACH payments to the card carry both names. People conflate it with Apple purchases (APPLE.COM/BILL) constantly — they're unrelated entries.
