    They should just stop pretending and make a bank and their own credit card company outright. They’re already there.

    I hope they go with Amex or someone else who operates in Canada. I’ve wanted an Apple Card since it was announced but they never made it available in Canada

    I don’t see it happening, at least not without significant changes to the card itself. The whole premise of the Apple Card is to provide tools and policies that help cardholders cut down on the types of spending that actually lead to card issuers making money. The Apple Card transaction volume would have to be really high to offset the lost opportunity for interest revenue, and if that were the case Goldman probably wouldn’t be struggling right now.

    I don’t see what Chase has to gain from taking on this card. It’d need to be a non-dominant player with something to gain from growth.

    I think it goes to Bank of America or Chase. BofA could be helpful because this card is already a mastercard right?

    Surprise surprise, a random blogger with “supply chain sources” out of Japan does not know the status of Apple’s 5G modem.

    This would cannibalize their Freedom Unlimited card, no? 1.5X on Freedom Unlimited vs 2X on the Apple Card, though UR is better in a lot of cases vs straight cash back.

    Would make sense since Chase have extensive experience with consumer banking, unlike Goldman.

    Chase has zero incentive to take on the Apple Card with Apple’s terms, and Apple is not likely to give up the level of control that Chase would want in order to make a deal.

    The only realistic option is that it goes to Capital One. I’d bet money on it.
