This is a transcript of two "conversations" with Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs: so your (sic) wanting to see your monthly statements correct?

Me: No. I want to download a report with the transactions listed.

Goldman Sachs: At this time the only way to view your statements is in your Wallet. Downloading is not supported at this time.

Me: That needs to fixed. Cannot analyze transactions without downloading a report. Especially entering the data in Quicken.

Goldman Sachs: I can get your feedback over to my team for review. I do apologize about the inconvenience.

Me: Cannot set up an account in Quicken for the Apple credit card

Goldman Sachs: I do apologize , but at this moment we do not support Quicken.

Me: That is unfortunate. We use Quicken to track our credit card and cash transactions.

Goldman Sachs: I understand your frustration, but I will get with my team and hopefully we will support in the future.

Me: Thank you. That is a major oversight.

Bottom line: The Apple credit card is pretty useless insofar as using its data.

Previously created Pages documents crash the app. I reported it to Apple. Curiously Numbers documents are fine. 

On iPhones, the 1X camera is not a "normal" lens. The 2X camera is not a "telephoto" lens. Why? In 35mm terms, a "normal" lens is 44 mm. That is the diagonal of a 24mm x 36mm frame. (See Pythagoras). The 1X lens on an iPhone is 26mm. Hardly "normal." It is a wide angle lens. The 2X lens is 52mm. Slightly telephoto. Try this experiment. Shoot a subject with both 1X and 2X. The 1X photo will appear distorted. The 2X photo is closer to normal. I only use the 1X lens for landscapes or if I can't get back far enough to get in all of the people in a group.

Shame on Apple! A vertical video. Booooooooo.

Here is Apple's dirty little secret:

The card does not work with Quicken.

There is no way to download transactions.

We were in Tokyo in 2016. Cash was king. Hard to use credit cards.

Ever wonder how many developers "make a living" writing apps? By that I mean over $100K /year net income. Probably about as many actors who "make a living" in the Screen Actors Guild.
