The ugly economics behind Apple’s new Pay Later system

Apple’s foray into the buy now, pay later scheme poses some serious questions about consumer safety

Apple getting into financial services/tools is not new & has worked w/Apple Stores and new-phone plans.
Seems a balance between continued "pricey privacy" marketing and grabbing a piece of the financing biz now fueling partners at all those "phone stores". Fees TBD, but I'm guessing it will be like the phone stores, 10% off with auto-pay, whatever, so no late fees.

I miss OSx and the days Apple ministered to computer users, especially graphics & photography power users...
Now it seems the computers are constantly being dumbed-down into emulated iOs with progressively more horrid lock screens.
