  • CurrentC inches closer to death as Apple Pay adds over 30 banks

    Please know that I'm not meaning to bash Apple (or Apple Pay) when I write this, but honestly I don't really get it too much. I have an Apple Watch and I have used Apple Pay with it, but it was never like a game-changing moment. Partly my fault in that I forget what button to press to bring up Apple Pay on the watch but even the few items it all worked I guess it was just okay. Using a credit card would have been just as well. Again, not earth-shattering cool by any means for me. But I keep reading about how Apple is getting more and more banks and places to come on board...but I never really know why. Is it just to sell hardware? I can't imagine people going the way of Apple just for this. Maybe a little bit sure...but all this has got to be costing Apple some good money. I can say the Share price sure doesn't reflect this initiative. Anyway, no harm no foul I guess so keep going and maybe the new generation prefers all this.
    The big deal isn't that ApplePay allows you to pay for stuff.

    The big deal is that ApplePay turns your credit card into a device that is secure, can make and receive phone calls, send sms's and email, browse the internet, organise your calender, take photos and notes, read books, edit documents, make and play music, install apps, etc, etc, etc...

  • Elon Musk expects 'Apple Car' to be late to market, estimates volume production by 2020

    Here's the problem, Elon.

    Apple was also "late to the market" in the phone and tablet game and looked how that turned out.

    What acceptable business terms are the torrent sites giving you, Jeff?

    What an utterly innovative, original phone (not to mention company).
