The whole point of Apple is that they take full responsibility for the goodness of their products and they don't pass the buck. So when they outsource something and it goes wrong Apple has to own that failure and fix it.

And yeah, that is why I said Apple gets some blame for choosing a horrible bank to partner with.

But my point is that Apple doesn't have some fancy algorithm deciding females are 1/10th a person. Goldman does..

But its Apple Card?

Why do I care about the business relation of Apple and GS or whatever? If my MacBook CPU fails, its on Apple, not Intel. I don't care where they got it.

I don't have an Apple card though, not available here.

What makes them a horrible consumer bank? They didn’t really have a consumer division before. If Apple partnered with, idk, Bank of America you could have a prior experience to project.
