Interesting. I still don't understand why it's being counted as making things up when it seems pretty obvious what Apple's strategy is here.

In terms of being a new account, that's neither here nor there for me. I make new accounts pretty often.

I must be missing something here. I don't disagree with anything you've said. My top comment is heavily downvoted. I am not saying I like this development.

Isn't it obvious? They already offer financing on new machines with the Apple Card. You can put your iPhone or new Mac on an installment program. It's been around since at least 2020.

Apple's goal is to eventually make it so that hardware is a subscription service, you will lease a machine similar to leasing a car. You will of course be benefited by doing the leasing through the Apple Card program.

Are you doing any Digital Twin testing or simulations? I imagine you can't test a product like Claude Code using traditional means.

For me nothing beats 90s ambient dnb for coding. There's something about drum and bass that really gets me in flow.

Very impressive demo! The laundry folding stood out to me in particular. I remember the NPR show Planet Money did a show many years ago about how difficult making a reliable laundry folding robot really is.
