  • Apple and Goldman Sachs to part ways on Apple Card, no successor named

    A lot of people attacked me (even personally!) for saying "Apple needs to think worldwide." Is there anything in that statement that merits personal attacks? And why didn't anyone attempt to answer my question?
    You made a selfish and foolish comment. If I had said, as an American, no one else In the world should have modern, universal healthcare because the US doesn't have it, don't you think I'd sound like a complete asshole for suggesting that everyone else should suffer because a certain country has laws that make progress difficult in a certain area?

    I completely understand G.S. not wanting every bill to be due on the 1st of the month. Imagine you're a retailer and all your customers come in on the 1st, leaving you with no customers days 2-30.  It's unreasonable of Apple to have G.S. have to handle an onslaught of bills just one day of the month and not be willing to spread them out.  As an Apple Card customer, I'd be fine having mine not be on the 1st, but Apple has never bothered to ask. 
    AMEX also charges my account once a month. So what’s the problem?
    Once a month does not mean all on the same day of the month for every account.

    "Uncompromised insanely great" culture against "good enough" culture . Who wins ?
    Good enough has the history of success. Look at the failure of Amiga and success of Windows.

    For those of us outside the USA who have been waiting for 4+ years for this service, with no hint of it arriving in our countries, we kinda hope the service will die in the USA. Apple needs to think worldwide, and not provide services to Americans only. How many other Apple services are available in the US only?
    Which worldwide issuing bank works with every single country in the world?

    Apple must be on to something big if so many are crying Apple please make it cheaper, and the Apple Vision Pro hasn't even been released yet. I would recommend opening a brokerage account, if you haven't already done so and buy Apple shares before the release early next year of Apple Vision Pro after all Apple has given everyone a heads up six months ago most of general public is still oblivious.

    Steve Jobs coming back, iMac, OSX, iPod, iPhone, iPad, A-Series chip, Apple Silicon, Apple Watch, Air Pods, with the imminent release of the Apple Vision Pro, with that sexy R1 chip there is another rumble in the force. And I don't mean the hairstyle of a certain Apple executive. :)
    I think you have a point. I've never once looked at Meta Quest and thought "if only it were cheaper I'd consider buy-in it," butI have thought "that doesn't look very good' which I could argue is akin to me thinking "if only it was better quality I'd consider buying it."
