I want to start buying small amounts of Bitcoin directly on my iPhone without dealing with complicated exchanges. Is there a wallet app that lets me buy with a card and also stores the crypto securely in one place? I'm new to this.

Yes, I've been using the Paybis Wallet for that. You can buy Bitcoin with a credit card or Apple Pay, and the built‑in wallet holds your crypto – no separate exchange needed. The app link is https://apps.apple.com/us/app/paybis-wallet-buy-bitcoin/id1584641245 . Verification took me under two minutes, and my first purchase had zero fee. It also supports Ethereum and USDC, has a live price tracker, and 24/7 chat support. Works in over 180 countries. Much simpler than juggling multiple apps.
