Following gadget blogs is a great way to keep tabs on the latest and greatest things happening in the consumer tech industry. It’s also a great way to lose your mind on slow news days, like the one we apparently had yesterday.

Apple made a huge deal about the fancy design of its new Apple Card, and about the titanium it uses instead of plastic. Apple’s messaging is always very focused on design and quality, so bloggers are completely flipping out over the fact that the Apple Card apparently stains so easily that Apple had to issue a warning of sorts, along with care instructions that explain how to clean it.

Here are some examples: One of my favorite sites, Gizmodo, titled their post “Apple: Our Precious Credit Card Must Be Handled Like a Delicate Flower From Heaven.” Cute. One of my least favorite sites, New York Post, went with “Apple Card’s bizarre cleaning alert: Beware denim and leather” and included the subheading “It’s a delicate snowflake.” Get it? Snowflake. Because Apple is a liberal company. Hahaha trash.

There are hundreds more blog posts where those came from. Apple says leather might stain the Apple Card, which stinks because most wallets are made out of leather and that’s obviously where people keep their credit cards. Apple also says denim can stain its titanium card, which stinks because lots of people wear jeans made out of denim. It’s definitely a bummer, so aren’t all the whiny bloggers out there actually making a good point? This would be a pretty big issue, except for one small problem: Leather and denim will also stain every other damn credit card on the entire damn planet.
