Many of Apple's products stay inside the home or are invisible (computers, services). But the Apple Card is typically carried outside the home and thus can be a carryable status symbol. If I can get one, here in Canada, it will certainly be the front card in my wallet.

Great another layer of complexity just to use a damn phone.

To be honest, this seems like a pretty average card. Very average interest rates, certainly nothing great.

Bullshit 'honesty'. People like to cherry pick the lesser aspects of the Apple Card for comparison and totally ignore the unique features of the Apple Card, and then declare it average or below average on all fronts, ie nothing great. These people would make average used car salesmen.

One other problem I just thought of - the card number is not on the card anywhere, which means when I call to make reservations, purchase something online, etc it's mostly useless. 

You're not thinking clearly. It's been mentioned many, many times why the card has no numbers on it anywhere. It's also been mentioned many, many times in practically the same breath and sentences that a user can get the card number, CCV, and even a virtual number from the Wallet for those online situations where Apple Pay is accepted.

I’m not sure who this card is for besides die hard Apple fans who have to have everything Apple releases.

More FUD bullshit. People should pop their head out of their assholes long enough to actually understand not only what the card can't do, but what it can do. Otherwise they're spewing 10lbs of bullshit into a 5lb sack.

The card had benefits or a combination of benefits that no other card or combination of cards has. If that isn't for you, fine. If your card suit your better, fine. If the Apple Card isn't for you, fine. But there's no need to be stupid about it. Especially publicly stupid.

There is no one card that's the best in every possible aspect of a credit card. That's obvious as so many people have more than a couple cards. Nobody is saying the AC is the best card. Objectivity is the first casualty of idiots on parade.

Lose your credit card? Discover it compromised? Call the bank, put a stop on it, wait for new card by mail, or maybe if you're lucky, but expedited courier. Not every card offers that service. With the Apple Card, cancel it from the Wallet app, get assigned a new number, and your physical card will be sent, but there's now no hurry. Your Wallet is up and running as is Apple Pay. Maybe you've never lost a card or had one 'hacked', so this is of no use to you. Fair point.

Can't find your card? You might have lost it but maybe you misplaced it? Call and cancel, or take a chance and wait to see if it turns up? Just turn it off in Wallet. Now you can look around while not in a panic. Maybe that hasn't happened to you either. Fair point. But I'm sure it has to a lot of others who aren't diehard Apple fans who have to have everything Apple releases. Jesus Fucking H. Christ.
