Doesn’t seem anywhere near as good as Monzo Flex

It’s a brilliant product. It’s like a BNPL and credit card all wrapped up in one package.

I'll properly check it out I'm with Monzo
I'm not a programmer but I've had a look as this documentation as it appears to me that VMs will be able to access Rosetta in order to run Intel binaries on M1/2 Macs. If this is correct then it means that we'll see the likes of Parallels and VMWare being able to run Intel versions of Windows. Yes? Or have I got this absolutely wrong?Native VM support within macOS, very cool.
Running Linux in a Virtual Machine | Apple Developer Documentation
Run a Linux operating system on your Mac using the Virtualization framework.developer.apple.com
Running a full amd64 OS is not what this is. It's just about running a Linux amd64 binary on arm64 based Linux guests while on an Apple Silicon device. Rosetta now has a Linux binary that basically sends the Linux process to the host Rosetta "engine'".
A really good use case would be to run amd64 docker containers within arm64 based Linux VMs.

Will be huge for Docker which has become extremely prevalent. Performance on macOS is shocking
Yeh we've noticed that those with the M1 MBP are seeing advantages vs those with Intel MBP when running huge Docker containers, so an M2 will be even better I'm sure.

You can say that about all finance stuff. Anyone who isn't responsible will fail.

PayPal does it too.
I hate it, I did it once for something that’s “only” £220. I did it not because I can’t afford £220 in one go but I thought “oooh let’s spread it out”. Then the next 2 months I’m having to remember I have this £70 to come out still.
That's just £70. Imagine having a few stacked up. Not for me.

It's probably for people who don't have much in the bank but is prepared to spread it over 3 months. Kind of makes sense then they not pulling as much out as a full amount.

Completely agree, but do Monzo do any affordability checks? For example Amazon do it with computer equipment, advertising the fact pay over X months with no credit check. Its really easy to get sucked into that.
As you say though anyone who isn't responsible will fail, so can see both sides.

Monzo do a soft credit search when applying for Flex.

Ah I didn't realise that. Thanks @whiskycycle

I'm a bit late watching the WWDC keynote. There was a lot to like with the new releases off software.
I'm disappointed as an owner of an iPad Pro (2nd Gen) with the A12Z that Stage Manager isn't available. My iPad is just over 2yrs old and cost me a good amount of money.

This is the way they are going. Want new features you must upgrade.
Microsoft are doing the same.
