Great... I’ll buy everything Apple on Apple card and never pay.

 

[4jasontv]

So... it's a MasterCard without the card.

 

[morningsong]

Magazines and finance.

Wherefore art thou Steve Jobs?

 

[GizmoDVD]

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

Gas which some people never use because they have electric/hybrid cars.

So cool?

 

[derek]

Oh good. The customer is not the product.

 

[chabig]

a comprehensive list of the top magazines are available at most libraries.

So you’re saying the Library has a free list? Wow.

 

[mi7chy]

Starting to sound cheesy like a late night infomercial.

Apple's latest buzzword is "machine learning" but they're using it wrong. Converting cryptic credit card transaction codes to descriptive form doesn't use machine learning.

 

[MacGekko]

Hopefully we don't end up with very many events like this in the future and they can get it all out of the way today.

A way to spice up these events in the future is offer a lottery of 500 tickets to the MacRumors users and then submit Tim Cook to a House of Commons question and answer period, I would have allowed the media to question as well but we would have too many Jon Gruber types fawning over Tim and telling him how the latest Apple Product saved his life.

They’re hoping that if it’s secure enough, then they won’t have to cover hacked expenses. I’m actually excited, even though I don’t use a CC for everyday purchases.

 

[JGIGS]

News/Magazine sub for 9.99 is of absolutely no interest I don't read magazines and I'm not paying for the news.

2% cash back credit card that occurs daily? Definitely interested but I'm guessing US only.

 

[AngerDanger]

Is it just going to be a plastic card?

EDIT: Titanium! Bahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

 

[Kendre]

So... it's a MasterCard without the card.

Pretty much with average benefits/perks. There are much better cards out there.

 

[alexandr]

that card is HOT!

 

[4jasontv]

If all the information is stored on my device, what happens to my data records if I use different devices for different purchases?

 

[PJM83]

That card video needed Jony Ive commentary! Not impressed.

 

[9081094]

Wow, it’s the best designed card ever. From titanium

 

[alexandr]

and it's titanium!!!

 

[Shanghaichica]

So you get a real card wow

 

[BMcCoy]

Hahaha... a titanium laser etched card.

Everyone will be ordering that, whether they plan to use it or not!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wowereit]

Wait... there is an actual card?

As in physical?

Well, that's unexpected.

 

[Rogifan]

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.

Wouldn’t the stock be flat then rather than down?

 

[Heelpir8]

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

Seriously. Glad some folks still remember what Goldman Sachs did with its "innovation" leading up to the 2007-2008 market crash.

 

[skippermonkey]

So anyone can steal your titanium card and use it?

 

[Kendre]

It’s the most beautifully designed card ever...cue Ive voiceover talking about how thin it is.

 

[jsalda]

If they have a business card, I’m all over it!
