I haven't seen a Goldman Sachs product crash this hard since 2008.
My Apple Card interactions have always felt professional until this.
I had difficulty making a payment last night (card.apple.com wouldn’t even let me log in), and I suspect my pending payment actually went through as iOS 15.01 installed today.
Chat support basically threw their hands up.

No, they changed for the better.
And then for the worse.
The Apple that people love wasn't even really Apple.
It was the next version of NeXT. NeXT as a consumer electronics company that went by the name Apple.
Steve Jobs came back and brought brilliant software engineers with him.
If you look at those early keynotes they talked about reliability and software quality endlessly.
A lot of those people are long gone.
I've spent all day trying to import photos from my iPhone. Again.
Terminal hacks. Still a mess. I have a headache.
I miss the "Jaime Saves Christmas" days.
Are people scared of Jeff Bezos?
Yesterday had a somewhat similar bug where, for an hour or two I could not log into my Blink account, and the system that's supposed to send me a 2-factor code was so overwhelmed the code(s) (about ten of them, given my repeated "If you didn't get a code click here" pressings) all arrived in a bunch about 90 minute later....
We have a perfect storm of constantly new systems (on server and client side), distributed responsibility, and massive technical debt. It's amazing that anything works at all. Honestly I think we ALL wish every company involved would just pause for two years to fix their damn bugs, pay off their technical debt, remove ten years of accumulated "XXX fix me"'s throughout the code, etc etc.
Credit card just as buggy as their software. Who would have thought?
FYI...this has been happening at least since Wed. I had to request a replacement physical card and received the error message. Talked to 6 different agents so far (3 Apple, 3 Goldman) and none of them have had any clue. Sent an email to Tim last night informing him that this type of screw up is becoming all too common. The execs he has put in place over some of these programs are unable to effectively lead people and this is the result.
You have some rose tinted googles on for the halcyon days of Steves return. It wasn't as good as you remember.
I’ve used yours 3 times today, too. No complaints here
You can take comfort in the fact that your Apple Card is not being affected by this outage. 😁
Er… Apple are just the fall guys here.
I have a British Airways credit card, but I don’t suppose for one second that said airline has much to do with payment capture.
Been using mine since day 1, just got a ATV 4K today, made a payment too. No problems. Not to say that that anything to do with computers and the internet is ever error free.
I’ve had this issue before where I make a payment and it doesn’t post to it or reduce my balance
Apple Card really is a winner and super secure. Pre-orders 2 weeks ago was a dumpster fire and today asked where the points were and they said it’s still in the works. And then another outage. Great work Goldman and Apple! Perhaps Apple Card 2.0 will have this patched?
This stuff is complex.
You did remember to plug it into the power outlet, ya? 🤣
Apple products are exceptionally reliable, in the grand scheme of things, but the sheer complexity has increased 1000-fold. I give Apple credit for not having more problems!

I run all my expenses for a family of 7 on my Apple Card and I have since day 1. I have never had any issue whatsoever.
