I think this whole sub-thread has gone off track from people who aren't reading the actual terms of the Apple deal.
Nobody's talking about getting a 33% Klarna loan for an iPhone or burrito. You included 2 statistics and 3 citations that have nothing to do with the program we're talking about.
We're trying to talk about the Apple program in the link, not some other financial services complaints that people have about other things.
