In other words, don't back up your device(s) to iCloud. Problem solved. I never have and never will. I back up my phone directly to the computer, via encrypted backups. And my internal disk and both Time Machine disks are encrypted as well. My data is mine and mine alone.

I'm very curious if Target will integrate this with their own two RedCard programs. They have a regular branded MasterCard and a separate RedCard which directly debits from your checking account. With either of those payment methods, you get an additional 5 percent off your purchase. My wife and I use our RedCard at Target all the time, and it is integrated into their iPhone app along with their Cartwheel discount program. The cashier simply scans one barcode on my phone or AppleWatch and boom, it does it all. Does the Cartwheel discounts, the 5 percent RedCard discount, any other e-coupons, any gift cards I've added to my phone, and done in a few seconds.

If they can make that all work with ApplePay, even better. But I will say it's very slick the way it is at Target.

And no, I have no connection to Target other than a satisfied customer who is trying to get them to build a store near my house.

Interesting on the logo pin. Probably a gay rights thing is my guess.
