Big changes are coming for Apple fans! The Apple Card might switch partners soon. Right now, Goldman Sachs backs it, with Mastercard handling payments. But Goldman Sachs wants out after losing money, so Visa and American Express (Amex) are stepping up.
Visa is offering Apple $100 million to take over, while Amex wants to run everything, replacing both Goldman Sachs and Mastercard. Mastercard, though, is fighting to stay. This could shape how you use your Apple Card in the future.
Meanwhile, the AirTag is getting an upgrade! The AirTag 2, expected around May or June 2025, will track items like keys or bags better. It’ll use a new chip for longer range—up to 200 feet—and have a harder-to-remove speaker to stop misuse, like stalking.
There’s no word on a slimmer design yet, but it’ll still work with Apple’s Find My network. People love AirTags for finding lost stuff, and this update could make them even handier. What do you think about these changes? They’re set to make Apple’s products more exciting in 2025!
