    This is already possible, albeit indirectly. I'm on Apple's Upgrade program and my Apple Card is the designated card to be billed each month by Citizen One ... and Apple gives me 3% back on each payment.
    What’s your interest rate on the Citizen One loan?
    0% ... which is the same for all members of Apple's Upgrade plan.  As long as I make my monthly Apple Card payment, my interest remains 0% and I net 3% cash back on each monthly payment.

  • Review: macOS Catalina 10.15 is what Apple promised the Mac could be, and is a crucial upg...

    Contrary to the first image, Catalina is WEST of Los Angeles, not East
    It certainly is west of LA. The map is oriented so that south is up, to match the image of Catalina that Apple uses as the desktop image, taken from the NW and looking "up" towards the south
    That map being upside down was bugging the heck out of me too... wonder why they did it that way?
    Maybe DED is an Aussie at heart.

  • Apple fans line up for iPhone 11, Apple Watch Series 5 as first orders arrive

    Correction: They are lining up to pick up, not to buy. All of them have purchased online, and rather than waiting for delivery who knows when, they go to store first thing to get the shiny.
    While some may be in line to pick up a pre-order, most are there in line hoping to be lucky enough to make a purchase -- Apple stores do get a reserve of new products for sale on release day you know.

  • Apple Music web browser player launches in beta

    So this is going to replace iTunes for Windows I assume?
    I highly doubt it because it does not appear that the web interface allows for smart playlist management, and certainly does not provide for syncing a local iTunes library (for those non-Apple Music/ iCloud Music Library users). If you're not an Apple Music/ iCloud Music Library user, you have to have iTunes to manage your playlists and sync your devices. So IMO, iTunes for Windows is highly likely here to stay for some time. Perhaps someday Apple may split up iTunes for Windows into Music, TV, Podcast, etc. but they'd have to find a way to handle syncing iOS devices with a local library within a "Music for Windows" app (on a Mac, the upcoming "Music" app won't sync devices, that will be done via Finder).
