    Back in March Apple introduced their very own credit card, to the audience’s surprise. There were virtually no rumors about Apple making a credit card and for some people the idea didn’t make much sense. Why would Apple, a technology company, enter the financial services market? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to find out.

      Ross Martinez III Except that Walmart isn’t the only ecosystem where people can buy their groceries from unlike apple 😂 The Apple Card keeps you in the apple ecosystem and makes more money because it’s the only iOS and MAC OS and WATCH OS there is in the market. It’s a win win situation for both apple customers and the company itself. Customers earn more cash back which can then be used to buy apple products for a cheaper price, and with that incentive they stick to the ecosystem more and the cycle goes on.

      Very much that, when Apple Pay launched here in the UK we were already pretty used to contactless payment so most places accepted it from very early on. When I was in the US in 2018 I was shocked at how little Apple Pay was accepted, or contactless payment in general for that matter. That probably explains why we don't have Apple Card over here, there's no need for Apple to try and capture that market because they largely already have it.

    It's worth noting that you don't need to ask the merchant if they accept Apple Pay. You just need to ask if they accept card payments via NFC/contactless as that is the method to how you use Apple Pay in stores.
    The cashback offered is pretty good actually. For those sorts of cashback rates with other credit cards, you'd either have to pay an annual fee or the cashback rates offered are just for a temporary amount of time or when you buy from specific shops.

    • @GradientGhoul
      @GradientGhoul 5 лет назад

      in europe even if they have NFC/contactless the retailer has to support apple pay. Samsung pay works on all NFC terminals. Apple Pay does not. the retailer needs to approve the service.

    • @chrisj9700
      @chrisj9700 5 лет назад

      Galva Tron It depends which part of mainland Europe you’re in as Apple Pay is available in certain countries. Apple Pay uses NFC technology too but as it’s an authenticated payment method, it isn’t subject to payment limits that normal NFC payments have (£30 per transaction in Britain). And it’s useful if you’re conscious about privacy and security. But if you want to continue using NFC cards, that’s your prerogative.

    • @chrisj9700
      @chrisj9700 5 лет назад

      Galva Tron I’m sorry but that’s not true.
      When you use a normal NFC card, the merchant gets your full card number and name. And if the merchant gets hacked, the hackers get your full card details and could use these to commit ID theft. You need to protect your card with an NFC blocker because criminals can get cheap hardware to interact with the NFC cards and steal your card info.
      Apple Pay is more secure and private because Apple doesn’t know what you bought and where you bought it from. Apple Pay also creates a unique account number on your iPhone so the merchant doesn’t get the full card number and it also creates a dynamic security code rather than the 3 digit security number on the back of the card.

    • @CJPorras
      @CJPorras 5 лет назад

      In America, if you ask if they accept NFC payments, they’ll be even more confused. Not only do half of our stores and services not have an Apple Pay option, but a lot of people don’t even understand the tech to begin with. Apple Pay is brand name that people recognize.

    I like the idea of mobile payments. It is more secure and I don’t have to look through all my credit cards in my wallet to pick the one I want to use. The problem is I live in the US and a lot of places don’t take Apple Pay. I ended up buying a Samsung so I could use Samsung pay which works at a lot more locations. Also I have had my credit card information stolen and used to make purchases. I love the idea of these mobile transactions where they tokenize the transaction where the actual card information isn’t used. The Apple card benefits aren’t great but I will just get one to flex that titanium card on rare occasions; I say rare because like I said the benefits aren’t great and I will get knocked back down to 1% cash back for flashing the card. So the card I will be something I just admire. I might take it out my wallet then just switch to another card when cashier wants my payment.

    • @ReedHarston

      First off I find the cash back to be decent, especially for a card with 0 fees.
      Also, their benefits are a calculated part of their strategy. More money back for using more of Apple’s products. Makes sense.

    • @PopeDope69-420
      @PopeDope69-420 5 лет назад +1

      Reed Harston 2% cash back is the standard, not the exception. Just go look at what kind of benefits you can get from the Costco/Citi card. This is garbage. And before you say the Costco membership is the price of the card let me point out the iPhone is the price of this one.

      @@PopeDope69-420 ---- Does the Costco card do zero fees? Does the Costco card do instant cash back and show it in their app? Do they even have an app? By the way with regard to your "iPhone is the price of a card"? It's true, however there are a billion iPhones currently active in the world. Of those approximately 40% are US based, so a total of 400 million addressable market. Costco currently has 85 million members as their addressable market. Which one is way bigger?
      Also people who mutter about Apple not having the highest cash back rates are missing the point. They can change that at any point in time or even do targeted promotions with those rates. The reality is that for Apple this card is designed to be a customer benefit not a huge profit center. Unlike Citi that uses cards as one of their largest profit centers. Apple is at its best when it is a disruptive force. And this card is about as disruptive as it comes.

      Fala Ai oh my god. It’s so obvious neither of you even own a credit card. Stop guzzling the Kool Aid. Tell me what Apple is disrupting with this card lol. Mobile banking? No. Interest rates? No. A graphical representation of your spending? No. The only thing they did was make a card with no visual numbers
      Here’s the info on the card that you could have looked up yourself instead of asking defiantly as though the answer didn’t exist. I’ll let you read this yourself:
      citicards.citi.com/usc/LPACA/COSTCO/cards/Dual/ps/index.html?cmp=KNC~01~110901~CRDACQXX~~Google&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9JzoBRDjARIsAGcdIDVBFC_X9HzWFygynfM4nbbIYLxo4tSZOVGLaIEzMhfnYK-QKdvada0aAhBFEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&BT_TX=1&ProspectID=1B949F384A104D79A3927AAC0B478510#information
      Apple cannot raise the interest rate when they want because they are not acting as the bank. Goldman Sachs is.

      ​@@PopeDope69-420 yeah, and I already own an iPhone anyway. And I will for the foreseeable future. So it is nothing more out of my pocket.
      I know that other cards have better benefits. But the cards I have seen with 'better' benefits require careful planning of what you buy with what card (because the rewards rotate), or paying high yearly fees, so it is only worth it if you spend more than a certain amount per year. I prefer having a simple card with a simple reward structure that I don't have to think about.
      And I could argue that you are drinking the credit card industry's Kool-Aid because you appear to know all about the credit card industry's strategies, and I could care less about what they do. I use my credit cards to buy things. I'm not in to the 'master the world of credit cards so I can get an extra $100 back every year' scene. I'll go work a few hours of overtime and make that much money with much less of a hassle. (I know that isn't an option for anyone, so instead they could make something and sell it on Etsy or eBay or something. Or they could spend hours juggling credit card benefits to maximize their returns. More power to you and others that do that, it just isn't something I want to do.)
      I don't think it is 'disruptive'. You are right that all of the things they are doing have been done before, but that doesn't mean this isn't a good product for the people who want it.
      A product doesn't have to be 'super innovative' to be good.
      This card isn't 'amazing' but it is everything *I* want in a card. Simple fees, rewards for things I already buy anyway. Good app. Easy peasy.
      If you don't like it, you don't have to. But that doesn't make the card garbage for the rest of us.

    It also made sense for Apple to make a credit card for customers that want to buy a new Apple product but don’t want to ya down the cash all in one lump sum. For instance you want to buy a new MacBook Pro and don’t want to drop $2300 all at once you can finance using the Apple Card for 0%APR and pay $160 a month for 12 months instead of the up front cost.

And Apple Pay is the #1 contactless payment method in the world. Now US is behind many other countries in the percentage of total transactions. But Canada is number one in the world in percent usage. Because of similarity in the 2 cultures eventually US will adopt this in a big way as well.

    17% APR on a CC isn't per month, it's per year. So a CC with a $5300 balance wouldn't owe ~$900/month in interest. That would be insane. It's 17%/12 = 0.01416666667. 0.01416666667* 5300 = ~$75/mo in interest. Of course that amount would fluctuate depending on the principal but you get the point.

    If a store doesn’t accept Apple Pay you can use the Apple credit card, which is a MasterCard. The physical card does not have a number printed on it, just your name. As soon as the card has been used you get a notification on your iPhone. The credit card number resides in your iPhone, where you can view it, if you want to use it for online purchases. My Visa and American Express cards had their numbers stolen in cyberspace for fraudulent use. Somehow that seems a lot less likely with the Apple Card.
    All the information on your account is one click away in your Apple Wallet. No cumbersome signing into your Visa or American Express Accounts. Saves me a lot of time.

    Apple clearly knows about their iphone sales declining, but i don't understand how they could either be so blind to the reasons, or so stubborn not to resolve it. They've been releasing fresh models technically only once every 3 years lately, and the improvements in hardware is almost negligible. Look at the iphone 7 and 8, repeats of the iphone 6 and 6s general designs that have already been around long enough. The iphone X was a good refresh, but a tad expensive. there was virtually nothing exciting about the Xs, and the upcoming iphone 11 is rumoured to have that hideous triple camera square bump with no improvements on the front design that still features the huge notch. Other companies have been pushing boundaries with design like samsung's infinity O display and huawei's advances in camera technology. It's hard to believe that a company like apple is incapable of throwing out improvements that are similar to what these 2 other companies are doing.
