  • Apple Card had the 'most successful credit card launch ever' says Goldman Sachs

    I've had the Apple Card since it's first week... Wonderfully useful if you also have an Apple Watch. I recently completed a three week trip to Spain, and used my wrist to purchase 95% of my expenses. The 'instant' feedback on my iPhone (and wrist) regarding payments was very assuring. The 2% back on all those purchases is a nice, immediate bonus. And, of course, it's accepted EVERYWHERE, unlike my much more expensive AmEx platinum card.. :( Apple Card deserves to be a great success.

    keep it simple, stupid. Just keep a simple key, it is now bad enough you can not get into some cars if you have dead battery or you need to go through special procedures to get in. I like turning the key and the door opens, no drama or above average intelligence required.

    I am have engineering background and worked on cars since I was 16. Car have gotten so complicated even the service tech as they are call today can not even work on the cars. I had a problem with my BMW, it was in the shop 5 weeks, it took 3 visits from the BMW field engineer to finally figure out what was wrong. The Service tech had no clue. There will not be enough engineers to go around to solve the litany of issues more complexity will create.

    I stopped reading when I read "I have a problem with my BMW..."  :)
    Maybe try a Lexus next time.
