Its a given that touchID will be used for purchases at some point and its probably not that far off. The 5S is a test to discover any flaws or improvements necessary with touchID before it goes mainstream.
I used to think the same thing until I learned you scan a finger in more than once. I have each finger scanned in twice, and I rarely see Try Again thanks to that.
Dunno. Have one finger scanned three separate times and only works occasionally.
Depending on the iPhone 6, if it doesn't impress me, I won't be buying another iPhone. Touch ID is awesome, and if they added a cursor to it, it would be 10 times better, of course with a bigger screen and new features.
A cursor onscreen is the most idiotic thing I have heard this year...
DA FUK you want to put mouse-like controls on a touchscreen device??
This would be as bad like putting a touchscreen on a laptop. It doesn't work.
Lest we forget, pundits also thought he dropped a hint about all sorts of new product categories in fall of 2013. We got great new generations of existing products, but no new product categories. Furthermore, he has been saying for quite some time now, "TV is an interesting area" or "Wearables are interesting."
Lest we forget part 2: Payment platform is a service, an area where Google eats Apple for lunch.
Lest we forget part 3: TouchID is the most successful and most widely deployed fingerprint identification system out there. Having said this, it fails intermittently (those who argue otherwise are just dishonest and/or ignorant). Improvement may be needed to avoid fumbling to re-calibrate when paying for purchases just before Xmas, with 200 people behind you.
Watch for rumours to multiple as we hear next about big name banking executives being recruited by Apple.

Apple has an advantage over google. They already do payments fine. They already have my credit card. All they have to do is bill me both virtual and real goods at the same time. Google is getting a bad rap for privacy. It has far fewer credit cards.
And payments is where "owning the whole widget" is a winner. Who would own the revenues in an Android sale? Samsung or Google?
What would stop Samsung rolling its own payments system ( with its inevitable touch ID rip off?). I mean whatever API Samsung use this year won't be stock Android as Android doesn't have any touch ID yet. The Android payments market will fragment. Each vendor will roll their own. Well, high end vendors.

Do you promise that you will never buy another iPhone?
Sadly, I must agree with you.
Having owned almost all models of iPhone, I feel iPhone has become boring, stale even.
Seems like Apple is now mostly concerned with milking and defending its past achievements instead of developing exciting, new gadgets.
Oh, well...
So please tell me what earth shattering innovations you're seeing on competitors. Bigger screen? OMG!!
Eye tracking? Get me my fainting salts!,

That is a good point. To be fair, iTunes is one service that Apple can be proud of, notwithstanding complaints about the iTunes app being too bloated.

A source of contention to be sure.

It is an inevitable inclusion of services. If one mobile platform includes payment services, so must others. They are not going to get any meaningful revenue because that's not the goal.
I think Apple could make money. To begin with people could use their credit cards - with most of the revenue going to cc companies. Later they could use debit cards or just bill people at the end of the month - become credit card company, charging interest, or a retailer fee ( after they get established) or both.
Do you promise that you will never buy another iPhone?
Yes, obviously if I don't like the iPhone 6, why would I buy another one... What type of question is that? Apple makes great products but they need to come out with much new features.
What a waste this "feature" is -- I have NO interest in using biometrics, still have not used it once. NO THANKS NSAPPLE!
How about adding a truly useful feature instead, like Nextel style Direct Connect walkie talkie functionality with a dedicated yet programmable talk button on the side of the device?! Now THAT I would USE! Not to mention so many businesses!

Because they don’t feel like adding a button that won’t be used non-accidentally by anyone not on a worksite?

This is why I am optimistic re Apple long term.
Very well thought out; I hadn't considered that Google/Samsung problem with mobile payments.

congrats on having the lamest and least intelligent post this week on AI. Although liberty is running right there with you.
Quite an accomplishment considering all the low life, mangy droid dork trolls roaming this vicinity.

Did Tim Cook really drop a hint about payment?

It's very hard to click certain things if you have bigger hands? So why not just add it if you could.

Lol! Love the riposte.
It's such a standard troll attack to call the iPhone stale. It may be manna from heaven, but I wouldn't call it stale right now.
