I don't think Apple wants or needs PayPal. PayPal's biggest asset (besides customer base) is its fraud protection mechanisms. Apple already has the customer base, and with Touch ID a superior fraud prevention mechanism which allowed it to negotiate …

For the Christians here, please study this passage (and all of chapters 5 and 6 for context) and think about how it applies to this situation: Quote: 1 Cor 5:9 I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people-- 10 …
