Yes

You can use your Gift Cards to purchase content, apps, and services (collectively, “Content”) from Apple Media Services and items (“Products”) from Apple Retail Stores, Apple online stores, and the Apple Store App. If you are the holder of an App Store and iTunes gift card or code balance, or have a balance in your Associated Balance, you can now use the card and code balance and the Associated Balance to purchase Products as well as Content.

Yes. Some stores are selling the new apple gift cards after the old iTunes gift cards sold out.

Thank you I guess it’s advantageous to make sure we buy one of the new cards which has all possibility of purchases rather than the old one

Afaik, when you redeem the older Gift Cards, they get added to the Apple ID Balance.
The new Apple Gift Cards when redeemed go to the same Apple ID Balance.

"Where the Apple Gift Card is available, you can use your Apple ID balance to buy products and accessories at apple.com or in the Apple Store app."

All my old iTunes gift card balance automatically became "Apple Account Balance".
I just redeemed an iTunes gift card purchased last month, it was automatically added to my "Apple Account Balance".

Save On Foods had a fresh restock of the older iTunes GCs two days ago. They were nearly sold out a week earlier. Now, the big question: Will the new GCs be sold at a discount anywhere?

Did you guys know this already? I just paid for an Apple Store purchase (hardware) with my remaining iTunes balance, the option to apply the balance in on the checkout page in the Apple Store app. Pretty cool.
