I am impressed, however this any some of the other products announced are just a pinata for anti trust advocates.

however this product to me is the premier product of the event. finally someone is taking credit card use to the next level in both usability, features, and security. Most important is the level of privacy they are offering.

Now if the three percent discount holds true it will be the defacto means of purchasing from apple.com, similar to how for prime users you pretty much have to use the amazon/chase card for five percent on all purchases.

I imagined Elizabeth Warren in a fit of rage sitting in her office watching the livestream.


Why? I think EW is more worried about bigger fish than Apple's entrance into a crowded market.


Didn't she include apple in her list of companies she wants to break up?


Likewise. This is disruptive to an entrenched market. Apple got Goldman Sachs to go along with it, too. I dig it.
