Whatever. 1 million activations is what Android does in, what? every 0.05 seconds? /s
Good one...
I have to wonder now, in the light of all the lies Samsung put out there about such numbers why the press has let them off so lightly. I know several friends that totally believed all the Samsung media hype were pretty angry when the started to see the data come out such as the 60% decline. They had ignored my advice to buy APPL at 500 as at the time they bought into the Samsung media blitz. We joke about Apple is doomed and so on but these and many folks truly believed those activation numbers and the 'sales' data at the time. They really expected Apple to collapse. Lots of potential money was lost.

It only arrive last Monday so give it some time. I really don't think it will take too long for banks to update their backend to support ?Pay. There is simply too much extra profit to be had by reducing fraud over to the long term.
This article is proof he had something interesting to say.
Right?! He's keeping it classy, which is not something Jobs could really do. I'm definitely not a fan of the idea (forum commenters had) of removing CurrentC from the App Store to get even with them.
I don't think they have to do guarantee transactions, just as Apple doesn't have to guarantee transactions because there is a CC company handling transactions for Google Wallet, as well as the payments still going through your cards at the end where you will get protection.
The "scuttlebutt" in the industry is that the CCs & banks agreed to give Apple a tiny cut in return for Apple shouldering the burden of liability. We do not know the truth of the matter, but it seems plausible to me.
I hate it when they get asked the same questions and provide the same stock answers.
Really, you are like one of those sports reporters: They complain when athletes come up with the standard response but when they do say something out of place or stupid, They criticize them for saying that too. Can't win with people like you!

And the moral of you story is "Don't criticize a fool , borrow from him" and to profit -> buy on the rumor ( the "sales" estimates) sell right before earnings. Did you know one of the cardinal rules about trading stocks is to sell or protect a position the day before earnings?
I guess Suddenly Newton has a reading problem, likely from his Android fetish. If the Google Wallet was so popular--as an adjunct to an Android activation, why do you suppose that the opening million Apple Pay accounts, on hardware that is only a few weeks old, totals more than all competitors combined? Maybe it is because NO ONE USED THE WALLET. (Ahem.). Look to Android for widgets, look to Apple for tech leadership.

That's what happens when you buy a Sony. I had a Trinitron that was still going strong after 20 years.
You're obviously not a very good salesman
edit: can't embed a .mp4 video on this site, strange. So, here's an article on a different site that has videos of Tim from the WSJ interview:
Video: Tim Cook talks Apple Pay, Alibaba partnership, Apple Watch, fitness & more in WSJ interview

I think Tim is doing a fantastic job, year after year.

someone will eventually crack currentC and make an app that steals from CVS, because of the weaknesses of android.
I'm sure someone at Apple is hard at it and will release it into the wild ASAP

"Apple Pay activations hit over 1M in first 72 hours, more than all competitors combined"
AppleInsider editors should know better. 1m is one THOUSAND not one MILLION!
One million is stated as 1mm i.e., 1,000 X 1,000 = 1,000,000.
The most salient point in the video is right at the end where Tim says "easy, private & secure ...... what the customer cares about"
Tim is starting to show his leadership.
He kicks ass with a smile on his face.
