Break into a capital intensive industry.

- Corrado 11y agoI think this is more likely to happen than not. With all of their cards on Apple Pay I can see them turning the banking industry on its head, which wouldn't be a bad thing. Have you been to a "real" bank lately? My local PNC branch generally has 2 tellers and a 3rd "greeter", even when the line is 10 people deep. Then there are things like charging for deposit slips and other necessary forms, and their online presence is terrible. I can't pay bills between 2AM - 7AM because: the system is down, or my loan balance is $0, or isn't in US funds anymore. WFT?! And the security is laughable (at least for a bank). When will they incorporate MFA? I think this is where Apple could really shake up the world, just like they did with cell phones and GUI computers before then.
- ridgeguy 11y agoMaking cars is a capital intensive industry.
- wklauss 11y agoNot necessarily. Some part of car manufacturing is capital intensive but electric vehicles are far easier to make than gas ones and a lot of the parts that go into any car, no matter what brand, are usually bought to third party suppliers.
