I agree with others that Apple is unlikely to compete for the same market as X Box and PlayStation. An App Store for the Apple TV seems entirely likely though, probably divided into a channel store where you can choose to subscribe to content, the i…

Presumably Google stores are places you can go to buy data about people or purchase advertising space?

LoopPay actually looks like a company that Apple should be acquiring before Samsung get their hands on it. Have you seen what it does?

Is there a way Apple could make the thing reserve a portion of battery life so the watch can at least show you the time when it's running low on battery?

If it's actually cheaper to use a different payment method, as CurrentC seems to promise, then a lot of people will use it. But the card companies won't just give up and go home, they'll provide more attractive and (importantly) much simpler cashbac…

Since Orange is part of EE, I don't see why an Orange spokesperson would say that. EE (everything everywhere) was a merger between Orange and T-Mobile. It's the largest network in the UK in terms of coverage and subscribers. I'm sure O2 will announc…

I wonder whether Apple will incorporate the ability to take payments (as well as make payments) into iPads and iPhones. That could be a game changer. Some of the newer cafes and shops in cities I've visited in the US already use iPads (along with ha…

A lot of people are saying the cost of hardware for merchants is a barrier. It does make me wonder how chip and PIN became ubiquitous in the UK. Even the smallest family run shops and cafes have wireless handheld terminals to take card transactions,…

When I travel to the U.S. I'm always uncomfortable using my card. For Europeans it's strange to hand over your card at the end of a meal for example, and then be handed a receipt on which to write the tip, with the actual amount you're paying invisi…

Does everyone at Appleinsider own Uber stock?

It's not supposed to be about proportional representation. The point is that if the majority of your staff are straight white able-bodied men, then they are likely to think like straight white able-bodied men and make products for straight white abl…

I have no issue with Apple and others being required to have the ability to allow law enforcement to track my phone and have access to all my data. But that must only be allowed to happen with a warrant issued by a judge who has considered whether i…

More importantly, does the screen shot mean we'll have to start paying to subscribe to appleinsider :-O

Let's hope they start calling some UK businesses too. Yesterday I had to drop off some kit for a friend to a cricket club, Apple Maps didn't know where the cricket club was (it suggested a golf club nearby) but Google found it immediately. On my way…

All EU countries charge VAT under European law. In the UK it's currently 20% and Apple (like nearly everyone else) displays the price inclusive of VAT, which for an Apple TV is now £79, or £65.83 plus VAT. In the US you have sales tax, which is simi…

I can't help thinking it actually is about the headphones. I don't think the iWatch exists, it was just a red herring designed to make Samsung and others race to release a useless bit of hardware. If Healthbook is true, and we're going to see hardwa…

I just had a thought that perhaps iBeacons will become a hardware product that Apple sell to consumers. I read that currently the battery life is a year on a watch battery, so it's safe to assume that Apple could extend that significantly. I was luc…
