CEO saying underwriting for 10 years is his advantage is quite concerning lol. How long has Goldman been underwriting?? I think apples got plenty of time, time is not your advantage. You can see he knows affirms going to 0 and hes looking for the exit

Apple has a way bigger brand name as well as pockets sad for smaller firms they are getting squeezed out.
Unless they can maintain differentiation in brands for customers.
