Barclays likes 6-12 months payment history (the closer to 1 year+ the better) so I would wait. After your card has reported for at least 6 months, you could try for another card if you'd like (check out Capital One; they're good for starter cards -- check out the student Visa, Journey).

Sorry credit noob here. Anyways, a year ago I wanted to get the new iPhone and was interested in the Barclay Apple Rewards card to finance it. I applied there for my first card and (obviously) got declined due to no credit history; and they said the same thing when I reconed three times.
So I went to my bank (Bank of America) and they approved me for a student card with $700 limit that I've been using well for four months now. My score is 680 atm and I'm wondering is it now long enough of having credit to apply for the Barclay card again? I only have 1 hard inquiry and no late payments, will I get accepted? Or should I wait it out two more months?
Unless you plan on buying tons of apple products for the rest of your life, I'd look at other cards that might give you a better reward. I'd also wait for a year of history before applying for anything else (but I understand this is just preference). As someone else suggested, Capital One would have some decent cards you might want to look at. I recommend them because they're a bit more lenient (and tolerable) for thinner credit profiles.
Last but not least, never apologize for being "new" to something, simply use it as an opportunity to learn.
Must garden until 2/1/2022 to hit my goal AAOA.
