Over the weekend, DHH (https://twitter.com/dhh) posted on twitter about his and his wife's application to the Apple card and the significantly different credit limits even though they file joint tax returns, live in the same house, and she has a better FICO score. His tweets went viral - see them here https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1192540900393705474?s=21 .
Apple and GS did a terrible job at appeasing him, or containing the issue. More and more people started to chime in and to share similar stories, even Steve Wozniak! Now Apple and GS are being investigated by the New York's Department of Financial Services (DFS).
