Depends on what articles you read. Some say the fees will apply after 2-5 years. They did say Google and Samsung couldn't get anyone to pay. All lot of those phones don't even have fingerprint support. And their wearables generally lack payment feat…

Then what's the point ? Samsung helping Apple sell more iPhones ? Or just wasting all the money buying that payment startup, installing backends and integrating with banks for nothing ? What happens if Samsung management lose interest ? Who is going…

For financial reporting, it is usually based on shipment for many reasons. However there are also analysis and marketing type articles that talks about consumer demand (based on sales-through). Some noobish writers may compare sales-in and sales-…
