Apple Credit Card Being Investigated For Gender Bias

New York's financial regulator is opening up an investigation over the algorithms for Apple's new credit card over claims of gender bias.

This comes after tech entrepreneur, David Heinemeier Hansson said Apple's card gave him 20 times the credit limit than his wife received.

The difference in credit limits favored David despite his wife having a better credit score than him and the couple filing jointly.

A spokesman for Linda Lacewell, the superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services says the investigation is to ensure every Apple credit card user is treated equally regardless of sex.
