I’m not trying to be an annoying nitpick, you bring up good points and I have just a few observations... Apple Music curation. Has anyone been impressed by this? I found maybe 2-3 songs I didn’t already know about, over the course of at least a year. I was never impressed, even SiriusXM has more variety and relevancy. I think they blew the chance to really do something great. AppleTV+ makes me feel fatigued. Yes to being a “curious one.” Apple Card seems to me like Apple’s version of a co-branded airline card. As much as I like to dunk on Apple these days (I used to be a huge fan), Apple Card is something they executed really well on. I’d like to give props to the Apple Pay/Card team. I think they’re doing a great job here and have a solid foundation for wherever they take this. That said I have a hard time imagining using Apple for all my transactions and balances, especially with the callous way they seem to behave lately. But you never know.

Not an annoying nitpick at all. Different perspectives are enlightening. No, I haven’t been impressed by Apple Music curation. But I haven’t been impressed with Spotify recommendations either. I dare say that the best approach will require equal parts algorithm and curation. As for Apple Card, that probably makes more sense in the USA where having many credit cards under different guises is commonplace. In Australia, store cards are relatively uncommon; I would suspect that a majority of people only have cards issued by their bank of choice.

  The Apple Card isn’t really what’s classically called a store card to me (along the line of a Kohl’s or Sears card). To me, it’s more similar to a top tier airline rewards/cash back card.
