This is a pretty shitty move on Apple’s part. It’s sort of ridiculous that you can’t finance Apple’s flagship product on Apple’s card, the way you’d want. Carrier or no carrier. I don’t finance generally but I guess there’s no incentive to use the Apple card for those that want to finance. I think this is a bid to help out carriers with declining profits, but they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot here.
Kid from 90s that grew up with the advent of the internet. It’s somewhat similar, but still very managed and controlled. Internet in the 90s was absolutely wild. Obscure corners, all sorts of content, free, open and you could spend days and days exploring it and still couldn’t enough of it. All of it was unique, driven by passions, curiosities, desires, people wanting to express themselves.
I sort of dislike what it has become and how everything is monetized. But I suppose, this is the cost of progress and innovation in the rest of the areas of our lives.
I run out of brainpower trying to process all the planets, star systems, etc in all of those galaxies and the scale at which they all exist. What is even out there? Just wow….
