Apple and Goldman Sachs are on the verge of splitting up, and Chase is the ideal partner to step in. Also: Sonos gets ready to take on Apple and others in headphones and TV set-top boxes; Apple continues eyeing 6G; and new retail stores are coming.
I feel like this would represent a strategy shift for Apple. It’s no secret Apple Card has been easy to get (arguably too easy from the perspective of an issuing bank) which is incompatible with Chase’s standards. Wondering if this is Apple or Chase in talks and testing the waters with a leak to see what response is.
I’d selfishly like to see Amex taking over the card but that’d be pretty unlikely because of probable Mastercard exclusivity, relative lack of international popularity on Amex’s end, and it being a pretty bad business decision right now.
