Re: Apple Services Revenue Hits $22.3B
#2It's kind of bewildering how deeply the world allows Apple to reach into their drawers, fish around, and pull out wads of cash.
Apple's take is higher than most other dealers and yet they keep raising the _vig_ year after year.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of Apple? About $89 billion. Oh wait that was Apple licking us. Yuck.

#3A couple months ago, I had my (physical) credit card denied at a cash register and - in a hurry - purchased some 'Apple Pay' cash that I had assumed would be usable at this apparently 'Apple Wallet' compatible register. It didn't work and I later discovered this cash was only usable to spend with Apple, like a gift card.
Then disputed the charge, won it, and switched off the iPhone 12 to a referb Pixel 6A w/ GrapheneOS, ublock, firefox, etc. and couldn't be happier. Love that my referb MacBook Air 15" does not require a Apple sign in so happy with that situation for now. Over with their mobile device charade.
Tim C. is laser focused on accounts/logistics/policy - world class at those - but inadequate as a leader for a digital electronics firm long term. And principle actor problem means he ultimately calls $ approval for long term multi billion product shots as a part of his public corp CEO fiduciary duties.

Interesting. I ran into a similar scenario at Costco and was able to move money into my Apple Cash account and buy my groceries using it.
I'm guessing this was a user error rather than an Apple problem.

It should have worked. Maybe the problem wasn’t you, but the terminal? Unless you bought the wrong thing, in your hurry.
But it sounds like you tried to use a product that you didn’t know what it could be used for and then got mad that it didn’t work (for whatever reason). Then dumped a whole device without understanding it further? Seems like an odd choice to me, but you do you.
