Hm.

What's our scorecard so far? I haven't actually subscribed to any of those services, but it sounds like it's roughly:
  • Apple Arcade: A
  • Apple TV+: A-
  • Apple News+: B-
  • Apple Card: B

I haven't seen much negative stuff at all about Arcade.

TV+ seems to have launched fairly well, with no blockbusters yet but a reasonably good start line-up. However, the software/UX seems less than ideal (which is embarrassing for Apple).

I haven't seen anyone who loves News+.

People seem to find Card satisfactory, but it has problems, and I'm not sure Apple can convince us that partnering with Goldman Sachs was a good idea.
