tim cook continuing to prove that he's a business guy and copying lovely bullshit other dumb companies do to maybe make a pittance that harms the brand is just fine

quote:

the Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has tapped Goldman Sachs to create a new Apple Pay branded credit card. According to the report, Apple currently plans to launch the Apple Pay credit card as soon early 2019.

From the publication:

"The partnership will extend into other services including Goldman offering in-store loans to Apple customers buying iPhones and other gadgets, an effort The Wall Street Journal reported on in February.

Apple and Goldman are still hashing out the terms and benefits of the planned card including the perks for customers, these people said."

Apple already offers an Apple Rewards credit card (which works with Apple Pay) through Barclays, but the WSJ has previously said Apple is working with Goldman on a cheaper financing deal.

According to today’s report, the new Apple Pay credit card will replace the current Apple Rewards credit card with Goldman Sachs replacing Barclays BCS as the creditor.

gold iPhone was a huge seller because China. Apple Watch Edition was a marketing tool to frame the watch as a fashion / luxury good instead of a device. it’s not like they made any significant amount of them.

other things are dumb and Tim is a jerk for making you pay to backup the storage he sold you

they never actually do this in any marketing text. but yes, you’re right, Apple’s trademark page about Apple trademarks does contain trademark symbols on their trademarks.

apple watch edition owned because we got to see gruber utterly beclown himself for an entire year by saying it was obviously apples first step in becoming a high end luxury brand and he was qualified to make this determination because he is obviously mr prada louboutin ferragamo himself irl, and all those luxury brand companies ought to be shaking in their boots because here comes apple

and then apple just quietly discontinued it and dismantled all the high-end popup boutiques

that was some funny poo poo

For most people phones are an accessory. Accessories are meant to reflect your style and personality. Phones coming in lots of colors is what people want.

I wish I could get a good phone in robin's egg blue with a gold bezel.

why bother when it's just going into a saddle brown* leather cover?

*this specific colour not because it is a fashionable or aesthetic choice, but rather since it's closest to the natural, untreated colour of leather :spergin:

My coworkers keep asking me how my phone is in such good shape without a case, then I watch them jam their phones into pockets with loose keys and poo poo.

Boys, give in and start carrying satchels. Your fragile possessions will thank you.

i'm not a woman. i don't mean that pejoratively. just, men's pants and coats are fitted with functional pockets.

You may not be aware, but I spent 26 years in men's clothes. They're not as practical as guys like to insist. You're just socialized to put up with the inconvenience for appearances sake.

i just told you i'm not inconvenienced

i mean, you can have a different feeling about men's clothing. but it's not an issue for me. i have literally ten pockets on my average daily wear.

phone cases are trashy, and they are not a thing i have ever needed
