FU, Apple. This is the stuff that is going to drive me back to PC's after a 12-year run and tens of thousands of dollars donated to your organization.

Just this morning (1:45 a.m.) I received a fraud alert for an attempted transaction using my MasterCard debit card. Give credit to my bank for flagging this attempt. Nice catch.

I have my physical card so some one of a handful of businesses compromised my debit card or had their database of debit/credit card transactions hacked -- again. This is not the first time one of my accounts of been hacked. Could this hack have been part of the Equifax breach? 

I'll get the Apple Card -- of course. Will the Apple Card (Apple/Chase) prevent fraudulent transactions better or as well? 

I don't worry too much about fraudulent charges (attempted or successful) because I know I'm not liable for them. However, it's still an inconvenience because I have to call or log on to a half-dozen places to update my credit card information after receiving a replacement card. Some of them such as my insurance and internet companies force the next payment to be manual before the updated credit card becomes effective (stupid, unnecessary, harassing requirement IMO).

I seem to get fraudulent charges about once every two years despite always being in possession of my physical card and never using it at "questionable" merchants (i.e., Chinese sellers, porn sites, etc.). The most recent was a couple of weeks ago someone in France (where I've never been) charged about $600 worth of concert tickets.

An Apple Card won't benefit me because the majority of my purchase dollars are made with the physical card which only pays 1% cash back. My bank's CC gives me 2% on all purchases all the time. I don't spend enough money with Apple for the extra 1% on Apple purchases to justify opening another account.

"Ewww" is right. Buying used AirPods is even more gross than buying used underwear!

I had a S0 Apple Watch that popped its screen off due to a swollen battery while sitting at work one day a few months AFTER the one-year warranty expired. I called Apple and they told me to immediately take the watch off "for safety" and overnighted me a replacement and a return label at no cost to me.

I'll replace it with a S4 or whatever the newest version is when the replacement dies.

I wonder if and how Apple verifies these photos were shot with an iPhone instead of other devices with the resolution and metadata manipulated so that the images appear to be shot with an iPhone?
