I really wish somebody would put out a 49" ultrawide. I've used a 55" 16:9 TV as a display and it's great, except that it's too tall. Knock 6" off the height and it'd be just about perfect. If only there was some way to cut the resolution of the Mac desktop so the menu bar moves down a few inches.

I'm currently using a 34" and I feel like that is a decent size.  The most obvious upgrade for my Samsung C34J791 is a Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, but jumping from 34" to 49" seems like it is going to be too much.  There is also the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8, but that is not UW, and I've gotten used to a wider screen.  The downside of either is the lack of USB-C or TB, and that is a showstopper for me.

If you want a really nice curved 3440 x 1440 display with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4, what fits that bill on the other end of the spectrum from this display reviewed here.  The article mention the Apple display and the BenQ, but neither are curved, so it would have been nice to have something that is more of an apples to apples comparison.  The majority of display reviews don't cover Mac user concerns, so that is where AI reviews are particularly handy.  

My current display is a Samsung C34J79x, and it wasn't a bad first monitor for my setup.  It handles its shared Mac/PC role pretty well, but there are some shortcomings and I think I'm in the market for an upgrade.  

People are so strange sometimes.  Original box for the graphite clamshell iBook, talk about a super-fan!

You need iOS 16.4 and its accessed through the Daily Cash option in the AppleCard "three dot" menu.

For those who need expanded steps on finding it (like me):

1. Open Apple credit card in wallet.
2. Click on circle with 3 dots in it.
3. Click on Daily Cash
4. Scroll down to Daily Cash Election, click on Set Up next to Savings.
5. Read the not so fine print (4.07% interest rate as of today (so, yes, it will change daily) then press Continue.
6. oops! It actually went into Confirming my info, not saying to wait a bit.

If you are not seeing the option, reboot your phone.  I'm running 16.4.1 and was initially thinking that Apple might be doing a slow roll-out, but thought I'd try a reboot.  Sure enough, the Savings option appeared after it booted back up.

(Edit:  Also, it seems that GS is was not prepared for Apple users voracious appetite for all new Apple things.  Getting Savings Unavailable multiple times while moving through the process.  Either keep clicking Next or wait a couple days for the initial rush to subside.)

I don't understand anything about this app, or whatever it is. Guess I don't need it, huh?

If you've ever made a bullet point list, ahead of writing some document, where you break down the topics you want to cover, adding sub points for specific details, this is essentially that, except more visually distinct.  This style allows the user to spread the information out and color code grouped topics, with organization handled by the connecting lines.  It isn't for everyone, but for some people it really helps them organize sometimes complex topics.
