Unsurprising since we've heard about this in the past.

I wonder if there is another issuer(s) lined up for the card and the savings account.

The savings account doesn't have the highest interest rates, but I like how my Apple Card cashback can go right into the savings account. It's kind of like a set it and forget it type of thing.

I'm hoping this isn't the end of the Apple Card or the savings account though. It's nice getting 2% CB on Apple Pay and 3% on Apple products.
