This. With discipline, they basically pay you for using the card. I need to stress the with discipline part. I also want to say this is the case with many cards, but the integration with Apple Pay and Apple Cash + the interface takes the cake for me
Very well said. If you want to buy a iPad but cannot pay it off with a month or so, DON'T DO IT!

Ugh, you're tempting me to get the Apple Card... problem is I've already got my most 2 recent purchases preparing for shipment (Nike Apple Watch + Base 14" MBP) and they should be here next week.

I'm honestly considering going to the Apple store when I get my items and seeing if they would allow me to apply and if approved (not worried about that), return both my devices and charge them on the Apple Card.

What do ya'll think my chances are? :p
I think your chances are great! If that's what you want to do, I would first apply for the card, then go to the apple store. They should allow you to return your items, then re-buy it using your apple card.

Just for @LFC2020 as promised (as he doesnt have enough bands for his SS), the original Apple 2015 Leather buckle - I can see why they stopped it as it goes so well with the Hermes watch and that probably raised a few questions at Hermes...

One gorgeous looking band right there, typical apple, lets get rid of it so we can make everyone buy the Hermes leather bands lol.

In fairness, the leather feels 'cheap' (and trust me it isn't ) compared to my Hermes band :)
We need to start a petition so apple bring them back, loving my new leather links watch bands, them magnets do make them heavy though.

@beach bum Also need to start a petition for this notch, what the heck were they thinking, stands out like a sore thumb. 🤦‍♂️

Finally received my watch today. Actually, the 41mm starlight with midnight band does not look bad. When I tried it at the physical store 2 days ago it looked tiny and I didn't like the colour. But at home it's almost the same size as my Amazfit Bip S.

Two problems though:

- The top half of the sports band is jiggly. It will lock into the case but is loose. Not sure if it's a band issue or the watch itself.

- The other thing was that both bands were very hard to slide in. As soon as both halves were slid in, I noticed that the watch tore through a small layer of silicone on each band. It can be hidden if you slide it in properly, but still, it sucks. ;-(

I'm going to contact Apple Support for help on the band.

Not going to work. The Notch is the Apple's ICONIC design. It's like a piece of jewelry, LOL

Is this distracting? Yes, but it's going to take some time to get adjusted. Guess what, Your iPhone 13 Pro Max has a notch and you don't complain about it.

The power and the battery it will offer is the greatest trade-off for the notch.

Looks like a iconic piece of eyebrow, not jewellery 🤦‍♂️ looks so wrong on a MacBook, stands out even more on that larger display.

I will never get use to it. 🤦‍♂️ the iPhone 13 pro max has a smaller screen, your eyes are always looking at the middle of the display on a iPhone, I'll be seeing that hideous notch every time I access the menu bar or safari address bar. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It's still a awesome machine, you're going to love it, but it's ruined for me.

Since you dislike the notch so much without even testing it in the real world or seeing it with your own eyes... Design us our future MacBook Pro. LOL!

The weekend is coming up. Can you please design us a new MacBook Pro 14 or 16" for 2022? Make a sketch. I can submit the blueprints to Apple. LOL!

Dude... stop playing around with the sad faces. You want me to buy you one, LOL! Will you take it or still going to hate the notch? Offer is available.

Look how tall they made it, it looks like a double notch, watch apple come out next year and say we've reduced the notch. 🤦‍♂️ classic Tim Cook. 🤦‍♂️

Maybe it's a nightmare, I'm going back to bed, hopefully that double notch is gone once I wake up. 🤦‍♂️
