GoKawiilFormer printing partner recounts chaotic 2011 launch of Apple's Cards app
A former project manager at Apple's print-and-fulfillment partner has described the 2011 Cards app — a Steve Jobs-driven project internally code-named Speed Racer — as marred by mismanagement and operational chaos. The source, who asked to remain anonymous even 15 years later, shared the account with a former Macworld writer who had covered Cards at the time and previously clashed with Apple over how the app's letterpress cards were described.
