Live Apple Event Coverage: 'It's Show Time' [Keynote Ended]

[Wowereit]

Wait, there is a dedicated VP of Apple Pay?

 

[johnnygee]

If only Apple could get the goofballs at Kroger and the failing Macy's to accept Apple Pay....

 

[9081094]

You heard it here first. Apple is transforming into a financial institution. Wait... now it’s official

 

[rmoliv]

Let me guess, Apple Card available in the US only as well. Get lost Apple!

 

[maflynn]

Apple Card will make Amex irrelevant!!

No it won't

 

[pavelbure]

Apple card, earn .000000001 percent on all purchases.

 

[DevNull0]

Anyone else wish "appleCard" was a system of plug in cards for a modular mac pro?

I watched the Steve Jobs movie last night. How did they get from there to here? It is sad.

 

[daveedjackson]

I thought Apple Pay was to replace the need of using cards?

 

[Kendre]

Apple Card...”we have completely rethought the credit card”

I'm pretty excited as long as the full content of the WSJ is included. I'll be signing up today to check it out. It will be worth it for the WSJ content alone; the 300 magazines, LA Times and other news sources are just icing on the cake.

Apple Card? Dang. I just signed up for Barclays last week to get my iMac zero percent. Bet these rewards will be better too.

 

[borntrouble]

Apple Card is a genius idea.

 

[lunarworks]

BTW people, the Canada thing for Apple News+ is from the Texture purchase, which was available in Canada and had agreements with many magazine publishers here.

 

[NMBob]

Wouldn't lower interest rates be enough of a clear and concise rewards program?

 

[thevault]

This presentation is extremely boring.........is there a prompt light for the clapping seals.......

 

[Krayzkat]

APR 53% per year

 

[Rogifan]

Apple has its own credit card now. But only accepted where Apple Pay is accepted.

 

[alexandr]

i'm curious to see how apple pay will work with the mta

 

[BMcCoy]

Only way Apple card gains support is if it offers a reward program to rival the cards most people get ... for air miles or store points.

So.... points accumulated get discount in Apple store, or similar.

 

[ck2875]

That's exactly what Texture cost before Apple took over. What's so amazing?

Yeah, watching this entire thing, I was just thinking “Well this is obviously why they bought Texture”. I’ll look at the selection of magazines, but I’m guessing I’ll stick with the free digital access I get to the majority of magazines I care about through my library card.

 

[skippermonkey]

Okay, really bored now. Get to the TV stuff.

 

[Lordridley]

Wow what a groundbreaking way of changing the credit card statements.

 

[DevNull0]

so what's wrong with reviving the industry?

There's nothing wrong with buying a service that's been out for a decade and putting their name on it. That's great.

But only Apple has the balls to stand up on stage and pretend they just invented the product they bought and flat out say nobody's ever been able to do what this service has done for 10 years. That's just pathetic.

 

[skippermonkey]

Yay! Colour-coded debt.

 

[Kendre]

Probably will have a yearly fee
