Apple should invest the time and money on water detectors in just making the devices waterproof. iPads, iPhones, etc. are not openable by the user and only have three openings, the headphone jack, the 30-pin connector and the micro sim slot. Make th…

Apple could be putting NFC in the phone but not setting up their own transaction system. I have never used such a system, but why would the transaction go through the phone anyway, the phone authenticates that the account is good but the actual requ…
