Sharing Apple Card Approval Data Points

Just wanting to share some data points with the community that might be helpful for someone else for an Apple Card.  I have been working on rebuilding my credit over the last few years and while my credit score is still a work in progress (came from low 490's in 2017/2018 to mid to high 600's, see data points below) , I have a long employment history as well as income to support the credit line from an underwriting stand point ...$365k combined household income( I know there are many factors...Apple allows you to claim combined household income on App FYI). The challenge is I have a thin credit profile for my age even though my credit history is somewhat long. They did a HP of  my TU FICO 9 score and my score came back as 636. My worst baddies are from 5 late payments on my Chase Saphire Card (open from 2013 ...4 from 2018 + 1 from mid 2019 that appear on all my reports and 2 closed installment loans that I paid off in full...1 in full no lates and 1 in full 2 lates from 2017which only appear on my TU reports. I got an approval of $1500k at 21.99% APR.  I've heard you can get an credit limit increase every 3 months with Apple if you use around 25% on average which I would plan to pay before the close period each month. This is only my 3rd credit card which brings my total CL to $16,250. Anyone with experience requesting CLI from Apple and the time in which you have to wait to request one? Thanks in advance.
