So a 10-basis point shift in savings rates is a MacRumor now?
We've covered the majority if not all of the APY changes since Apple Card Savings launched. At the very least, I hope you appreciate the shorter format now for such a story. All of our previous articles on this topic had the same 3-5 paragraphs rehashing what Apple Card Savings is. We are experimenting with brief stories for certain topics in order to get to the point and save time for both us and readers.

That's it, I'm canceling my Apple Card. I had some big dreams for that extra 27 cents a year I will no longer be getting!

Looks like I get to be the first one to jump on this thread and say that savings accounts are not a good place to keep your money. If you've got enough to save you've got enough to invest.
Why is everything all or nothing? Everyone needs savings and investments.

They have their place, like shorter term holding.

You always need cash on hand for many things that pop up. Medical, household repair/maintenance, spontaneous trips, family, etc. If everything goes in stocks you'll lose money on taxes, and most other investments are longer term in one way or another.

No matter who you are, you need quick cash on hand. Keep cash, and invest in a smart way.
