'I don't know why it took till 2025': Mercedes driver shows how anyone can watch YouTube, Netflix on Apple CarPlay. Should you?
A Mercedes driver claims there's a $50 gadget that lets you stream Netflix and drive at the same time. Safety should always come first, of course. However, TikTok user Chase (@ said a cheap device he picked up online lets him binge his favorite shows while behind the wheel. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . 'Nobody was going to tell me that we can watch Netflix in our cars now?' he asks in a recent video, calling it something he's 'dreamt of' since getting his license. 'I always wanted to be able to watch YouTube videos [and] Netflix, all while driving,' he adds. 'I don't know why it took till 2025 to be able to get this.' By 'this,' he's referring to an AutoSky device he says he snagged on TikTok. A disclaimer on his post notes that it is eligible for commission. How Does AutoSky Work? There are several AutoSky devices on the market, so it's unclear which model Chase has. Prices vary, too—some go for as little as $30 on Amazon, while others sell for up to $75 or more on AutoSky's official site. In general, AutoSky's wireless CarPlay adapters convert a car's wired Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connection into a wireless one. This lets drivers make calls, play music, and stream TV without plugging their phones into the USB port. These devices work much the way Chase describes. To use one, you plug the adapter into your car's USB port, pair it with your phone via Bluetooth , and from then on, it connects automatically through Wi-Fi whenever you start your car. According to AutoSky, its 'AI Box Lite' version transforms a wired CarPlay system into a wireless hub, enabling both CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube. It's purportedly fully plug-and-play and doesn't require any rewiring or disassembly of the stereo. Once it's set up, Chase says, 'you're off and streaming.' Still, probably best not to fire up Netflix on the interstate. Use With Caution Watching anything while driving—whether it's video, maps, or apps—is a distraction. CarPlay is, of course, designed to be a hands-free tool, but even glancing at the screen too long can slow your reaction time and put you (and everyone else) at risk. Trending Now 'Enjoy That Day Off:' Man Asks People to Photoshop a Video to Look Like He Crashed His Car to Skip Work. The Internet Complies Man Says He Bought a Nissan Frontier Because of These Standard Features. Should You Consider the Same? This behavior isn't just dangerous, it's deadly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , distracted driving killed 3,275 people in 2023 alone. Other Systems on the Market In his video, Chase made the perks of owning an AutoSky device clear: It's hands-free and lets drivers stay entertained behind the wheel. He also claimed that buying one through TikTok is a steal, arguing that similar in-car entertainment systems can cost thousands. He's not entirely wrong. While it's not a perfect comparison, Best Buy lists some car TV systems for thousands of dollars. One of its priciest options—a black Alpine 7' Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Bluetooth Digital Media Receiver—retails for $1,500. So Chase may have actually scored a deal, which he seemed genuinely thrilled about. One person who commented on his video was impressed. 'Wow this is cool,' she wrote. But while these gadgets might be flashy, it's still important to follow basic road safety. If you buy an AutoSky or similar device, use it with caution—as in while parked.

JPMorgan Chase hikes up annual fee cost of popular credit card
Paying off credit cards has become a vital part of adulthood, yet it is a dreadful one at best. For those who like to spend more than they can afford, seeing the days get closer to the end of their billing cycle to make that minimum payment sounds scarier than any horror movie. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter What's even worse is having to pay an annual fee on top of that, and banks seem to constantly raise their cost as if it were that easy to make an extra hundred bucks each year. Related: When you'll see empty retail store shelves due to tariffs JPMorgan Chase (JPM) introduced its Sapphire Reserve credit card in 2016, assigning it an annual fee of $450. This card was created to compete with the travel rewards market and cater to clients with expensive travel and dining tastes. Although that might have seemed like a hefty cost at the time, that number looks like a total bargain nowadays because the price has continuously increased every few years due to its popularity. Image Source:The last time Chase increased the annual fee for the Sapphire Reserve credit card was in 2020, when it raised it to $550. This left members with an unexpected extra $100 to budget into their yearly spending. Five years had passed without more price surges, but if the pattern continues, that highly feared expiration date was past due, leaving many wondering when the next price hike will occur. Related: JPMorgan Chase CFO issues stern warning to employees It was only a matter of time before many people's nightmares came true because Chase has just made another significant price increase, and this one feels more painful than ever before. The company recently announced that the yearly fee for the Sapphire Reserve credit card will now be $795, a whopping 45% increase. However, to ease people's minds, the massive fee increase also comes with many new perks for those who spend at least $75,000 yearly. Annually, Sapphire cardholders will now receive $2,700 in redeemable benefits, a $300 credit for tickets purchased on StubHub, a $250 credit for Apple Music and Apple TV+, and will maintain the same up to $300 travel credit. Members can now earn additional points with the new Points Boost, which offers eight times as many points on bookings made with Chase Travel and four times on flights and hotels. The Sapphire Reserve credit card will also receive a facelift, featuring a heavier metal and a new pattern.

It contains premium perks for customers who spend at least $120,000 yearly. The new annual fee implementation and benefits will begin on October 26 for returning members, the same day as the renewal period. However, new members will be subject to the new fees after June 23, the day the card applications open. Welcome incentives will also be revealed on that day.

Chase Sapphire Reserve card members will see a major fee increase: Here's when and what to expect
The chase is on among premium credit card issuers. Pentagon Pizza Index: The theory that surging pizza orders signal global crises 5 signals that make you instantly more trustworthy at work How Field Notes went from side project to cult notebook JPMorgan Chase has announced some big changes to its high-end Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card, which include a hefty new annual fee of $795, up from $550. The Sapphire Reserve card, which is known for its slate of perks and benefits including travel credits and access to airport lounges, is also getting a counterpart in the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business card. When the card was first introduced in 2016, the annual fee was $450, so it has increased by more than 75% since then. Interestingly, customers don't seem to mind: The amount paid in annual fees totaled $6.4 billion in 2022, more than double the $3 billion paid in 2015, according to a 2023 report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). According to Chase, customers still have a few days to sign up for the card at the old rate. If you're already a Sapphire Preferred member, or if you sign up before Monday, June 23, you can expect the same benefits and fee through October 25 of this year. Though the fee is increasing significantly, there will be new card designs, and new credits and benefits that arrive along with the revamp. Specifically, for cardholders who spend at least $75,000 per year on their cards, there will be new perks, such as exclusive online shopping experiences, and status rewards at IHG Hotels, and Southwest Airlines. Points earnings rates and multipliers are also changing through a new Points Boost program. The new Business card will also have credits for services from ZipRecruiter, Google Workspace, and more. 'It's the culmination of five years of investment that we've made across Chase in completely uplifting and repositioning what we mean for premium travelers in the premium-card space,' Allison Beer, JPMorgan's head of card and connected commerce, told Bloomberg. 'This is about having the best-in-class travel assets and an end-to-end travel experience.' Chase's announcement comes shortly after American Express, one of its chief rivals in the credit card space, teased a forthcoming overhaul to its premium Platinum Card. Details are scarce, but those changes are expected by the end of the year. The Platinum Card currently has a $695 annual fee. In all, the board is set for Chase and Amex to duke it out with their premium offerings, which might provide some serious perks to customers who can afford them. 'We're going to take these cards to a new level,' Amex's said Howard Grosfield in a statement, 'not only in what they offer in travel, dining and lifestyle benefits, but also in how they look and feel, to meet the evolving needs of our customers.'

How Chase's new Sapphire Reserve credit card compares to rivals
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is hiking the annual fee on its Sapphire Reserve card from $550 to $795 and adding perks like new spending bonuses. Yahoo Finance Senior Credit Card Writer Ben Walker joins Wealth to break down how the revamped card compares to Chase Sapphire Preferred, American Express (AXP) Platinum, and Capital One (COF) Venture X credit cards. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here. Well, JP Morgan Chase unveiling the latest update to its Sapphire Reserve card on Tuesday. The changes include a hefty bump in its annual fee to $795. That's up from the prior $550. But with that extra money comes extra perks, including new credits, free status at IHG Hotels and additional perks after spending $75,000 in a year. So how do these changes stack up against other popular credit cards? For more on that, we have Ben Walker, Yahoo Finance senior credit card writer. So Ben, let's start by comparing this to a card many Chase fans hold, the Sapphire preferred card. What are the differences here? Because the preferred card, especially now, the annual fee is a lot less. Yeah, thanks for having me. I mean, the annual fee on the Sapphire preferred is $95 compared to the updated Sapphire Reserve, which is $795. That's a difference of $700. So that's the biggest difference you're going to find between these two cards. Um, I would recommend, just in general, or if we're talking about the vast majority of people, the Sapphire preferred is probably the better card because most people do not need to be paying $795 for a travel credit card. However, if you want premium benefits, including airport lounge access, then the difference, you know, in annual fees could make a lot of sense. The Sapphire Reserve also has a lot of new benefits. However, they could be a little complicated to use. So you have to look at those benefits and see how they align with your travel preferences. And do you think when the reserve card was in the 500s for the annual fee, did that make it worth it to choose a reserve over the preferred, or are you still a preferred guy? Uh, in general, still a preferred guy, but the Sapphire Reserve made a lot more sense for a lot more people when it was at the $550 annual fee. And that's just because the $300 flexible travel credit, you know, immediately cut out a lot of that annual fee. And then you could find a lot of value just by using, you know, the airport lounge access benefits. Yeah, good point there. Now let's compare the Chase Sapphire Reserve to some other travel cards. First, how does it stack up against the American Express Platinum card? Yeah, I would say the American Express Platinum card is probably, you know, the easiest comparison, uh, for premium travel credit cards, especially with the updates to the Sapphire Reserve and its annual fee. Um, so the Sapphire Reserve annual fee is 795, and the Amex Platinum is actually 695 right now. So the Amex Platinum has a little bit of an edge over the reserve in that regard. However, they both have tons of travel credits. They both have airport lounge access. You can transfer points to hotel and airline partners. Um, they're actually very similar cards in regards to their benefits. So I think it really comes down to, again, seeing how your travel preferences align with each card. For example, you know, if you prefer Chase Sapphire lounges compared to Centurion lounges, or if with the Sapphire Reserve new benefits you want that IHG Platinum Elite status compared to the Marriott or Hilton status on the Platinum. Interesting. And are there certain airline partners that either card has as well? Yeah, they have specific transfer partners. Um, you know, with Chase, one of the big ones is you can transfer your points to the World of Hyatt program. And that has consistently been one of the most popular transfer partners for getting a lot of value out of your points. And what about the Capital One Venture X card? How does the Chase Sapphire stack up? Yeah, just, uh, first off, looking at the annual fees, the Venture X has a $395 annual fee. Compare that to the new $795 annual fee on the Sapphire Reserve, and that's a $400 difference. So immediately, the Venture X is going to be more appealing to a lot of people who don't want to pay such a high annual fee. Um, I also would recommend the Venture X to more people who want a premium travel credit card because it's just a little more straightforward to use. Um, there is one big downside of the Venture X coming up. They have changes that, they're getting rid of the guest access, the complimentary guest access to airport lounges. Um, so that is a big change that the Sapphire Reserve will still have two complimentary guests to airport lounges, and that's a big, you know, pro in their favor. Um, but the Venture X still is a more straightforward card. Uh, the Sapphire Reserve, uh, really got to look at the benefits, see if you can actually use them every year to get the value out of them. Otherwise, you know, that 795 annual fee is not going to make sense for a lot of people.
