  • Goldman Sachs regrets Apple Card, and is trying to escape the deal

    Have had zero problems with the card. Only card I use and I pay it off monthly. Allow all my cash to roll over into savings and have a little bit squirrel away. 

    All the billing is done electronically so how is hard to send it at the same time. Computers should be doing everything. 
    Ditto on all your comments.

    Apple's problem is that everyone who wants an Apple Watch already has one. And their incremental changes aren't going to drive upgrade cycles. The Ultra was new and different, but the buy-in was a big deterrent for the mass market. Things like Micro-LED screens won't do it. A total rethink is what it will take. I can't think of anything the Apple Watch 9 offers that would even make me consider upgrading my 7 series.
    Upgraded from series 7 to series 9, really enjoying the brighter screen, faster processor, looking forward to double tap feature. WatchOS 10 takes the user interface and Watch experiencce to the next level.
    Well, since I have WatcOS 10 on my series 7, still not sold. I can see my watch screen just fine. But I'm curious about how exactly does a faster processor improve your use? I don't notice any lag at all when using my watch.
    I would also like to know the answer to that question. We’ve all made excuses to justify expensive upgrades, but this one needs a little more explanation. I’ve never wished my Series 7 was faster…not even once. 
    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Maybe it’s my imagination but everything just seems to run a little smoother and zippier on series 9. I suspect apps will take advantage of the faster chip to do who knows what? Apples buyback for the upgrade from series 7 to 9 was also very generous.

    This proposed feature for other cards sounds like what we can do right now with the Apple Credit Card, seeing balance, transactions, etc., etc.

  • Apple Watch Series 9 review: Solid upgrade even with features still coming

    I own an Apple Watch 7. I see no benefit in upgrading based in this review. Apple is going to need more features, not incremental improvements to existing features to get more of my hard-earned $.

    The iPhone 15 is another story. I don't know how long I can hold out for a new iPhone SE (to replace my 2020 SE). There are major differences that I'd like to have in a phone, not the least of which is improved battery life. I was on vacation last week, and the cellular roaming killed my battery about every 4 hours when I didn't have WI-FI.
    I upgraded from the series 7. The brightness, the double tap finger forthcoming feature, smoother response that the new chip provides along with reasonable buy back for series 7 was worth the upgrade.
