Apple music now has 40 million paid subscribers vs Spotify's 71 million.

Apple is gaining on them.

Great comparison.
The 2018 budget iPad is great but I want to see what's in store for the 2018 iPad Pros.
Perhaps the 2017 iPad Pro 10.5 will drop in price after the release of the 2018 iPad Pros with Face ID.
Time will tell.

I think facebook knowingly sold the data to Cambridge Analitica.
FaceBook does care about its community because the community's information is worth a lot to the likes of Cambridge Analitica.

Tim Cook simply stated the truth that facebook makes money from advertising and selling user info.  That is just a fact.

Selling of data can be done responsibly with user's consent or irresponsibly like Cambridge Analitica.  
FaceBook should have known what CA was planning to do with all of its data.

I use SIRI all the time and it works just fine.
SIRI has the best voice.
Apple Maps totally Rocks with SIRI.
Home automation works great with all the lights in my house using Lutron Cassetta HomeKit switches.

One of my favorite SIRI tricks is to solve math problems such as integrals and derivatives of bizarre functions using the Wolfram Alpha back-end.  It totally rocks.

It's not the Banks- it is the lack of Merchant embrace which is keeping this thing from soaring in utilization.  Invest a couple Million & give the reader away so it catches on.

Hardware is not the issue. It’s the larger chains purposely deciding not to accept these payments. 

I agree.
Walmart's stock went down 10% today.  Let them keep choosing not to accept Electronic Payments like Apple Pay.

Walgreens Pharmacy accepts Apple Pay, CVS does not.   I use Walgreens,  Toys & Babies R Us, Macys etc...
Apple should promote the stores that accept Apple Pay.
