Love these rumours , does anyone really think that a company with more money than the US Gov , wouldn’t have the I8 already manufactured etc and all ready for shipping.

Seems like a lot of speculation and not much else. Why do rumor sites give this guy so much attention?

Because he has been the first to accurately report on many upcoming hardware decisions, including the expected OLED screen, glass back, and facial recognition capabilities of the "iPhone 8" way back in March of 2016:

And the 10.5-inch iPad Pro back in August of 2016:

And the new 9.7-inch entry-level iPad in January of this year:

And the (alleged) $1000-and-up pricing of the "iPhone 8" this February:

And the features and capabilities of HomePod in March:

Is his track record perfect? No, it's not. But nobody else out there provides, in terms of quantity, more accurate information on Apple's hardware pipeline than Ming-Chi Kuo. Not Gruber, not Gurman, not anyone else.

Cool that they're picking up banks, but for my purposes, I'd rather have them pick up retailers like Home Depot and Target. I get why places like Target don't want to support Apple Pay (they don't get to collect data on me), but it does make me less likely to shop at those places.  I've moved to getting most of my groceries from places like Trader Joe's and Fresh Thyme, but every once in a while I need something from Target, and I always notice how much slower and more finicky the chip readers are. (Put card in, wait for a few seconds. If you wait too long, you get an annoying tone. If you don't wait long enough, you get an error.) Not a big deal, of course, just a minor annoyance. Chip card almost seem like they should be old technology, given how much faster the magnetic strips worked (I know the security of magnetic strips is horrible, but the experience is better. ) Given how quick Apple Pay seems to be, I wonder why the chips aren't faster. 

Target has Supported Apple Pay since Day 1, ONLINE ONLY!!! Home Depot, it did work at first and they stopped it, but they said they were going to Support Apple Pay a few years ago!!! https://www.cultofmac.com/321682/home-depot-flipping-switch-back-on-for-apple-pay/ https://9to5mac.com/2015/05/05/home-depot-apple-pay-2/ What happened? With the missing headphone jack, the little Square readers won't work on the iPhone, but they have Bluetooth versions that connect to the phone that way. Have a spot to insert a chip card and do NFC. More people need to be motivated to stop using the old Headphone jack card swipe readers. I hate having to insert my Credit card into the terminal and just leave it there. Apple Pay is so quick. I just use my Apple Watch. I don't have to pull out anything. More and more places are supporting it. It was never going to happen overnight. It took a long time for business to get a Credit Card terminal in the first place. I remember the place I used to work at. When I first started working there for the first few years, it was Carbon Paper and a roller machine. That's why credit cards have had the raised credit card number. You roll over it with the roller on carbon paper and it would leave the number. It's going to take time. Just like it'll take time for Walmart to drop their crap QR code garbage and go NFC also. Who wants to be loading up a Walmart app and paying that way. Everyone having their own app and having to be forced to pay through that. No thanks!!!

I have deleted this otherwise great app and will be taking additional action for the fraudulent misrepresentation.
