Well, guess I’ll get rid of the ol’ house and car and be a bum since I can’t afford it.

Amazing to see how many people won’t use this yet are so triggered by this. If it’s not your thing in you “all cash” then great…move on. Clearly this isn’t for you, however this is macrumors so there has to be hate and *******s a plenty
Can I give you my money to manage for me? You sound like you know what you are doing. 😆
There’s some exciting new products in the pipeline.

The entire world is build on a credit system. Before systems of credit were devised, everyone did live squarely within their means and few were ever able to advance beyond their present circumstances as a result. I get the vibe of what you’re saying but also it’s missing a pretty important piece of the puzzle.
Apple entering financial world. But before that would really like to see Apple Pay and Apple Card be available everywhere.
Yes. So instead of pulling out of any nation they could now wage war against them and ultimately enter into real World domination.
I am sure lots of Macrumors Apple supporter would love this
I mean you just revealed that your whole schtick is built completely on a classist contempt for the poor.
Well you could simply rent it from the phone company for 30 years the way you did with Bell
Things aren’t good at the moment. I know several people making minimum wage that suddenly are struggling for even food/gas/housing and more due to everything increasing in price.
I think this kind of thing will help a major blowback with the economy and inflation. Heck I make well into the six figures and even I had to cut down on stuff as pricing is just getting ridiculous.

It’s obvious that most people on this forum are either well off, upper class or rich by reading some of these statements.
Some folks are truly struggling to get by these days especially with inflation. Something like this would be extremely beneficial for them especially if they use Apple products.

With a credit card you typically have about 30-60 days to pay off the balance (assuming you pay off the balance every month). With Apple Pay now, you pay off 25% immediately, 25% in 2 weeks, 25% in 4 weeks, and 25% in 6 weeks? So not really better than just putting it all on a card? This seems like a benefit to debit card users but limited value for others. Or am i missing a step?
Yes. But obviously not the type of purchases and credit we are all talking about first of all. Second of all, nobody needs to own a home. They need shelter, not to own it.
There are over 10 million people living gated communities in the US. So, it’s not impossible. Apple pretty much on the brink of starting it own bank and going deeper into financial services.
