    Gruber does know stuff, but it doesnt make sense really. If they could do both, if touchID worked on the screen then both together would be amazing. 
    Exactly! I believe that Face ID is here to stay but that doesn't mean Touch ID isn't coming back.

  • Inside iOS 11: AirPods controls expand with separate left/right earpiece taps, skip track ...

    More customization, please. More menu items. Single- and triple-taps. Replace taps with a touch.
    Single-taps would be a UI nightmare. Touch controls would make it even worse. They would be triggered whenever you touch the AirPods. Completely nonsensical suggestions that will never happen!
    There's a reason why there are only taps and only double ones at that. I agree on triple-taps though, that could be a good addition.

    Germany is missing. Of course:
    Most stores and restaurants in Germany up until a few years, if not even months ago, would not accept credit cards, and sometimes not even debit cards (at a restaurant I have been told in a typical customer friendly way "there is a bank with an ATM across the road").
    Not until the EU forced the transaction fees to be less than 1%, the stores didn't even have a reader, and if, and old one without contactless option "which never works".
    So, although Germany is the number one economy in EU and the richest, most of its transaction are still cash based, or debit card based. 
    The word "convenience" is not in the vocabulary. And because: rules.
    Ikea, just up until a few months ago, did not accept credit cards in the region of Munich. They activated the service with a caveat - not a single sticker showing you could pay with a CC. I just discovered you could, because an american friend paid with it as he had nothing else on him.
    So, Apple Pay would be nice, but I would be already happy if I could pay ubiquitously with a CC contactless (which requires no PIN or signature for payments less than 25€).
    BTW: in the USA it doesn't seem to work anywhere really...
    It's not only because of rules and fees but mostly because of one reason: Germans hate the plastic. They have huge security and privacy concerns about a lot of things (remember Google being forced to blur out houses on demand in Street View?) so that's why card terminals aren't available at most places. Too few people would use it. And that's also the reason why Germany is not on Apple's priority list for Apple Pay. 
    Good thing I moved to Sweden, can't wait! Here you can pay your strawberries at the street market or the taxi driver with credit card. Everything goes with credit card (and Swish) here.
