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

[timber]

Apple's bank partners must be really happy. What a swell company to work with. On the floor music companies can't stop laughing for another bunch of suckers.

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.

they did say there would be rewards)

Apple Pay decoding the silly cryptic merchant ID’s is great. Long overdue, but yeah great. Why can’t my bank do that too

 

[McScooby]

Goodbye Monzo.

 

[borntrouble]

No it won't

Are you sure? In a world where we will see hard cash disappear, you have your own card - protected by strict privacy rules. This spunds like a genius idea to me.

"Like orange for food and drink."

Because you can eat oranges and drink orange juice. I got ya, Apple. 😎

It’s called apple’s cash flow. Right from your wallet, straight to Apple

 

[skippermonkey]

'Daily Cash'. I wonder how long it took them to think that up.

 

[Steve121178]

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

Everywhere then.

 

[Jeezeypeeps]

I guess the retailers are gonna get really screwed to cover apple's cashback costs.

 

[Kendre]

Reward will be every time you spend it, you get cash back....but doesn’t mention the percentage...probably very low like 1%

 

[retta283]

I remember when people said that Apple had fallen in late 2012. Ha aah ha

 

[iReality85]

You can literally do this with any credit card. They all have good apps, and give clear and concise purchasing info.

I think I'll still stick with my Visa and AMEX cards/apps.

 

[Kendre]

2% cash back

 

[Gorms]

The credit card, for me, is the point where I start thinking "maybe they were right when they said about breaking up big tech".

 

[9081094]

Free cash for me? 😵

 

[CWallace]

Probably will have a yearly fee

Tim's Pick List explicitly said "No Fees".

 

[Wowereit]

The second I saw 2% cashback, I figured this will never come to Germany.

German credit cards are laughingly bad compared to US offerings. 0.5% cashback is considered good.

 

[LiveM]

Seems to be a misunderstanding over the word cash.

 

[Kendre]

3% back on purchases made directly with Apple

 

[morningsong]

Aaron Paul!

 

[mrgraff]

That comment didn't age well 😉

 

[alexandr]

not loving this daily cash crap)

 

[Rogifan]

AAPL is down 1.5% right now. Wall Street not very impressed so far.

 

[budselectjr]

Jesse Pinkman was pretty impressed
