    Could there be a more on the nose product by Apple? Allowing all of your purchases to profit Apple?

    Unboxing the titanium Apple card... And a PSA about the walled garden. Beware.

    Does the card cost more than an iPhone XXSS Max or what? I wonder what will the re-issue of the card costs like when you lose it?

    Here's what Apple says about their card...

    This is Apple Card.
    A new kind of credit card.
    Created by Apple, not a bank.
    https://www.apple.com/apple-card/

    " No fees. Not even the hidden ones.
    We want to make it easier to pay down your balance, not harder. So Apple Card doesn’t have any fees. No annual, cash‑advance, over-the-limit, or late fees. No fees. Really. And our goal with Apple Card is to provide interest rates that are among the lowest in the industry."

    I think they want to make it as easy as possible to get into debt, while they take their cut.

    Lol, I don't own a bank myself!!! Pretty neat marketing to push up Apple sales using this card.
    I don't trust Apple with my money.
    Since its not cross platform it sucks......
