This Google card contraption can not be called a rival to the Apple Card, if the Google Card is a debit card.

Who the hell uses debit cards? I can't even remember the last time I actually used one of the debit cards I have. I pay for everything with credit cards.

Comparing a debit card to a credit card is like comparing a children's bicycle to a motorcycle.

If the previous Google card failed and was cancelled, then I suppose that this project will eventually suffer the same fate. Google starts a million different projects and ends up cancelling and abandoning many of them.

On the Mexican Apple store, the cheapest SE model costs $10,999.00. I'm assuming it's pesos.

But what does that have to do with anything? It's a completely different currency.

it’s A$829 for 128GB in Australia.

Ok, Why? Also, Why don't I care?

According to my currency converting app $399.00 USD converts to $627.95 Australian. I don't know if Australia imposes a VAT or import duties.

He/she/it/they mentioned the 128GB model, which is not the $399.00 model. The 128GB model is $449 in the US.

449 USD = 705.58 AUD + 10% AUSSIE VAT = $776 AUD

I'm not even sure why they bothered to mention what it costs in that country, as the australian dollar has nothing to do with the US dollar. 1 dollar down under = 63 cents US. 

My opinion is that there are too many snarky comments, or as I prefer to call it, extreme ignorance with a dash of stupidity on display.

Some people have nothing but negativity to contribute. In my book, these kind of people are called losers.

I see nothing but an extremely positive outlook for Apple going ahead. That doesn't mean that every single thing that they make is 100% perfect or that there is nothing to criticize, but overall, when you look at the big picture, they are doing great. Nobody cares about the anecdotal opinions of disgruntled people who have special needs and are incapable of seeing the greater picture.

The facts are that Apple remains as strong as ever, virus or no virus. AAPL isn't even that far away from $300 again, they've rebounded nicely. But who cares about that, all that stuff was just temporary anyway.

Apple has a strong product lineup across the board and they continue to release new products all of the time, with the latest being the second gen iPhone SE of course, which is ready for preorder in just some hours from now. I'm glad to see that the shitty virus doesn't seem to have affected Apple's release plans.

The latest Apple product that I bought was a pair of AirPod Pros about a month ago and I'm pretty happy with them. I like the noise cancellation on them and I'll be using them tomorrow when taking a walk. It almost drowns out all of the cars and traffic on the street, and there are a lot of cars on the streets where I am. A person should of course be aware of their surroundings when using that feature. Dummies should not use that feature.

The future is looking so bright for Apple, they're gonna have to wear shades.

Of course the cameras found on any iPad are not the same as found on the top tier iPhone model. Is this really a surprise to anybody? 

If anybody feels like a fool after reading something on the internet, and is so easily swayed by a few words, then why don't they simply return the best iPad currently in existence? It's not like they could have owned it for that long.

I also have some bad news for anybody who bought a pair of AirPods. Prepare to be shocked. They're not as good as the AirPod Pros and they don't do noise cancellation. That's right, AirPods are inferior, just like the word used in the title of this story.
