    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.

    Apple Card has terrible benefits but it’s my main card because of the Wallet app integration. On Chase I have my Amazon Prime card and a Checking account so moving to Chase would be great if they could integrate all your chase accounts to the app.

    It really does not matter who they go with. Whoever enters into an agreement with Apple is going to have to provide the same type of service that GS did. For customers it’ll still be all done within the iPhone interface and will be no different than it is now. The only possible change that would matter for customers could be to Visa instead of master card.

    I know nothing about banks or credit cards, does this mean it won’t be a Mastercard anymore

    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

    Bloomberg, the home of the tutti-fruitti, phoney-baloney, plastic banana, good time, rock-n-roll Apple PR leaks. Apple is either testing the water on consumer response to Chase or trying to influence Chase to make the deal.

    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.
