  • Apple Card offers simplified and secure Goldman Sachs-backed credit card with daily reward...

    Finally!!!!

    Getting this to replace my Costco Citibank VISA card. Better rewards program. 

    Will costco allow the MasterCard version or does their Apple Pay use hide the credit card type?
    Really?!?! Because 4% for gas and 3% for dining on the Costco Citi Card is a better reward than 2% and 1% for the Apple Card. That’s not better to me.

    Oh boy get ready for some milquetoast TV or Disney 2.0.
    Or Apple will announce that they’re buying Disney, which would explain why they slowed their buybacks in recent months despite having announced that they intend to be cash-neutral in the foreseeable future and also said that they would be sharing more details this spring about how they intend to achieve that. 
    Apple is never going to buy Disney.

  • California reintroduces 'Right to Repair' bill after previous effort failed

    Get ready for shitty third party parts installed by shitty, untrained techs in shopping mall kiosks. Instead of ordering a part from Apple many users will opt for questionable but cheaper third party parts. Do it yourselfers will blow up their devices and then expect Apple to make it good... at no charge. Instead of ordering that brake caliper directly from Ford you’ll order one for half the price and of dubious quality from Amazon. Then when you kill yourself in an accident your family will sue Ford. You get what you pay for. There is NO Apple tax for quality. What’s next? Court ordered modifications such as user replaceable batteries, headphone jacks. Regulated design thickness to accommodate repairability. Imagine what an iPhone designed by iFixit will look like.

    "The company is openly opposed to such legislation, saying access to repair material would expose industry secrets and create security and safety issues for customers.”

    There goes privacy and security when that part you bought is later found to be reporting your every move and word to god knows who or where. Oh, you say, legit repair shops will only install Apple OEM parts in your $1K phone. Think again.

    Also, get ready for people to over exaggerate how bad third party retailers are going to be and not how some will be great.

    Because that’s what will happen will all third party companies and none will have great customer service with great repair standards because they want to run a successful business.
