Apple Card: Twitter reacts to Apple’s credit card reveal

Last night, Apple revealed that it is becoming a bank. Kind of.

Moving on from Apple Pay, the company revealed that it would be entering the world of credit, with its own Apple Card.

Aside from these extremely positive and negative viewpoints, some people seemed more on the fence… which is probably the right place to be until more details emerge.

Speaking of more details, some people were a little sceptical about Apple’s promise of low fees.

Which makes the whooping from the audience in the hall a little disconcerting:

Indeed, not everyone on Twitter was happy with the focus on services in this conference, just looking for simple changes:

And for one person, the Apple Card was one letter too long:
