    Regarding the Apple Card..

    This is from the Apple website.

    'If you find a place that doesn’t take Apple Pay yet, there’s this.'

    Then it shows a picture of the actual card. This annoys me. . 'if you find a place' ? Literally 5% of the places I go accept Apple Pay. The ad acts as if Apple Pay is mainstream.

    admittedly I don't go shopping super often but I have to say almost everywhere I go now accepts apple pay.

    gas station, cvs, best buy, grocery store, place I go to for lunch sometimes, candy store...all of them take it. it seems like it's pretty mainstream but again that's coming from my extremely limited perspective

    Epic fail on how they presented that whole scenario. If they'd announced the price of the monitor and stand as $5999, and you get an $800 discount if you just want the monitor and a VESA adaptor, then the reaction would've been a lot different.

    Mac Pro looks great and will finally be fully functional again. Don't see too many music studios, photography studios, video editors, server farms etc having pets running around but ok

    Weird.. maybe it's a regional thing.

    Edit: My question would be - if you use the card instead of the phone/'apple pay', do you still get 3% cashback?

    3% cashback is pretty competitive if it counts for all purchases, i.e. not limited to Gas, groceries, restaurants etc

    Re: The Apple Thread - Gather round.

    I am wholly ignorant when it comes to the "apple card," whatever that is; I was only talking about the acceptance rate of apple pay where I live.

    I know that I still get all the rewards from the individual credit card linked to my apple pay account when I use apple pay, but I don't think that's what you're asking.

    I will say that I am very involved in the credit card rewards/points topic and I am extremely skeptical that any bank would offer a card with 3% cashback on an unlimited basis. that rate almost certainly is limited to specific categories and/or dollar amounts.

    I can run this all simultaneously without much issue, as well as chrome, outlook, etc. I mainly have it parked in a dock on my work desk.

    I use the pixel book to markup stuff in the field because of its paper light and I like the pen a bit better. I use it as my daily driver and it essentially can operate as my phone (runs android and linux) so I don't need to be juggling both. ChromeOS is simple and fast but takes some getting used to.

    If you are looking for a more traditional laptop experience, the surface book is essentially a surface pro with a clamshell keyboard in the traditional sense that connects with a stylish hinge.

    Piggybacking on this - I'm not to much of a windows fanboy, but I find the surfaces to be marvels. To do all that, not lag, and not even get warm is mindblowing to me.

    I'm not sure about that anymore. Citi has been offering 2% cashback on everything at an unlimited basis for years now. I think I heard someone else is offering 2.5% just recently too. With banks offering 3+% now on savings, I don't think 3% on credit cards is an impossible task.

    I guess we'll find out this summer when they launch it.

    recently upgraded from a series 2 to a series 4 apple watch...the difference is massive. every thing I used the old one for, it took forever to load. the new one, literally every application loads immediately. it's awesome.

    Jony Ive leaving Apple.

    Quote:
    Cupertino, California — Apple today announced that Sir Jony Ive, Apple’s chief design officer, will depart the company as an employee later this year to form an independent design company which will count Apple among its primary clients. While he pursues personal projects, Ive in his new company will continue to work closely and on a range of projects with Apple.

    Imagine leaving a company and that company’s market cap drops $9b. Apple will be fine, not worried about the cap drop. But just goes to show how important Ive’s been. I’ve loved him for a while now, sad to see him go. Hopefully he’ll still be able to help out at LoveForm

    I am looking for a decently made brown leather apple watch band. There are tons of them online. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    The Apple Card is now available for application. The benefits of the card really don't impress me but I gave it a shot as I do use apple pay frequently. I was very impressed with the application process and how easy it was to set up auto pay. I like the interface inside the wallet app as well. The hard card is supposedly going to arrive within 4-6 days but they give you your card number now to use.

    Re: The Apple Thread - Gather round.

    Quick question: I haven't actually downloaded an album in a while and was going to DL the new Tool album in the morning from iTunes but I think I heard they were discontinuing iTunes and turning into a streaming only service. When I go to the iTunes store, the new album is there for pre-order but I can't tell if it's a stream or a download. I've Googled this question and I find conflicting answers and I know this is probably a stupid question.


    Edited: Nevermind, found my answer.

    Are these 'buy one, get one' offers going to expire with the announcement of a new phone next week? Just debating if I should upgrade my failing 7 now, or wait until next week when the new phone is announced.

    I have an iPhone 8 and, all of a sudden, the control center doesn't come up when I swipe up on my phone. I've tried restarting and resetting and neither have worked. Any suggestions? Trying to figure out how screen mirroring.

    Instead of swiping up from bottom, pull down from top right edge. That’s how it is on my XR.

    Buying any iPhone the first week of September is a terrible idea. After new phones event, deals will change.. if u can get a 7 for $100 this week, after the event it will likely change to an 8 for $100. Newer models will move down in price across the board & who knows, there may be a special model released you might like better.

    not really seeing a reason for me to upgrade. I think I'll stick with my X for now.

    Getting the iPhone 11 Pro 256GB Midnight Green

    Being on the Apple upgrade plan just makes sense to upgrade each year. Loving the green too.

    Being on the Apple upgrade plan just makes sense to upgrade each year. Loving the green too.


    Yeah. I’m thinking the same

    I don’t understand why so many ppl think they need a new iPhone every 1-2 years. The vast majority of ppl are doing text, email, web & maybe a few other things which absolutely don’t require an upgrade every year. It’s a waste of money especially with $1k phone being normal.

    90% of the ppl I know with a new iPhone use maybe 5% of its capabilities. I got the first gen on day 1. Use TONS of features all day, have never cracked a screen etc... I’ve owned a 1, 4 (not 4s), 6, and my XR. So in 11-12 years I’ve managed on 4 phones.
