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

[MacGekko]

You guys speak for yourselves. I’m excited to finally get all my magazines all in one app and to finally get rid of all the other individual apps.

Most public libraries have this service and for free, a comprehensive list of the top magazines are available at most libraries.

Good riddance 'points'. 2% return = nice.

 

[Kobayagi]

Guys, I'm really good at clapping and cheering, to whom do I send my application for events like these? And do you maybe know what's the pay?

 

[elephantstone]

There's nothing new here that some of the fintech's aren't already doing over here. Great that we have another good player in the market though.

 

[CWallace]

Apple's bank partners must be really happy.

Goldman Sachs did not have a (retail) credit card operation before they joined with Apple, so I would say that they are really happy otherwise they would not have entered into the deal.

 

[budselectjr]

No fees is nice

 

[rmoliv]

Now Apple is a bank too.

 

[GizmoDVD]

Wow. The Apple Card is ridiculous. Get ready to see all the others making big changes.

 

[Jeezeypeeps]

Our goal is to get you into a huge amount of debt while pretending we're giving you money for nothing..... oops! Sorry, I meant to say it's to help you manage your money; honest.

 

[derek]

No over limit fee? Wait a minute.

 

[BuddyTronic]

Funny how they talk about visa statements. It is a sad fact that way too many people ride interest on Visa cards. So silly that they have to be accommodating this crazy world where people are all wrapped up in never paying off their credit card statement balance as their first monthly responsibility. It explains why so many complainers talk about expensive iPhones. Pay your bills on time and live within your means is the real lesson

 

[lunarworks]

Goldman Sachs.

Ew.

 

[macpanzer]

Apple Card- only useful to USA?
Being a european I don't see ANY benefit in it. Just limitations.

 

[alexandr]

Probably will have a yearly fee

i'm pretty sure they said no annual fee in the very beginning

 

[yaxomoxay]

Dear Apple: God bless Dave Ramsey

 

[DevNull0]

So, a no-fee credit card with 2% cash back is a solid deal but hardly revolutionary. We have similar cards available with the 3% on gas purchases.

I've had a card for 15 years that has no fees, and pays 1% cashback (2% on gas and groceries). Yeah Apple's is better, and certainly worth looking into but not revolutionary so like they're pretending, and I haven't looked for a better offer than mine for years so for all I know that offer is available already from the banks.

 

[Rogifan]

So Apple card is a Goldman Sachs Master card.

 

[GizmoDVD]

Good riddance 'points'. 2% return = nice.

I really thought it would be iTunes points...but cash back is even better!

 

[Kendre]

Good riddance 'points'. 2% return = nice.

Nah 2% is pretty awful. There are cards that offer higher percentages on food and gas.

 

[lympero]

Apple bank next

 

[eatrains]

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

That happens literally every keynote.

 

[BMcCoy]

2% Cashback and no annual fee..

Okay, that’s quite competitive.

 

[BootsWalking]

Haha, dead silence when Goldman Sachs was mentioned as the bank handling Apple Card. Joining forces with Vampire Squid.

 

[bozzykid]

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

Nothing announced by Apple wasn't known by Wall Street for months. The stock being down likely has very little to do with this announcement especially considering the Dow is down too.

 

[ninjadex]

This company just oozes greed. Everyone always knew it, but the focus on services is bringing it all to the forefront.
