This message is a paid partnership with Apple Card. There's something interesting about how seamlessly certain tools fit into daily life. Apple Card is one of those things. It can be applied for right in the Wallet app on iPhone, and approval can happen in minutes, so it's ready to use immediately with Apple Pay. I'm so glad the days of finding my wallet, fishing out the credit card, using it, putting it back in my wallet, or oops, maybe I use cash, where's the ATM? Enough. The first time I used Apple Pay on my phone with my Apple Card, I was like, "This is the future. There's no going back." With Apple Card, purchases earn daily cash up to three percent with no points to track and no waiting for rewards. It's simply daily cash back that I earn on every purchase. There's even an option to open a high-yield savings account through Apple Card. And while I haven't done it yet, if I do, my daily cash can grow automatically over time without any extra effort. Because Apple Card lives in the Wallet app, it's always accessible on iPhone and can be used with Apple Pay at over eighty-five percent of merchants in the US. And the security of Face ID and Touch ID prevents unauthorized purchases, whether using iPhone or Apple Watch. To explore it yourself, you can apply for Apple Card in the Wallet app on your iPhone. Subject to credit approval, savings is available to Apple Card owners subject to eligibility.

There's no question too embarrassing for Amazon Health AI. Chat your symptoms and get virtual care twenty-four seven. Healthcare just got less painful.

Pushkin. Hey, everyone. It's Maya. A few years ago, I was invited to give a commencement address to graduates of the Juilliard School of Music's pre-college program.

As we enter commencement season and students all over the world embark on the next chapter of their lives, I wanted to share this speech with you. I really hope you enjoy it.
