Apple Pay transactions totaled $10.9B in 2015, suffers growing pains, report says
Likely struggling also because it's also facing some new, formidable
headwind. See:

Interestingly, I think most - if not all - credit cards have an area for the
cardholder's signature on back, and states, "Not Valid Unless Signed",
yet I have never seen any cashier check for any signature on the
back of any cards that we have ever had or used. There seems to
exist a double standard for authentication, depending on method used.

Apple's iPhone is most influential gadget ever, says TIME
Actually think the App Store's introduction in 2008, finally opening the doors for a mobile application marketplace to a mass audience, was the real genius of the iPhone. Think of it akin to the introduction of an early calculator with only buttons for 0-9 and a 'clear' button, then someone having the idea of not only adding functions for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but also opening a market for 3rd parties to add whatever functions they could imagine themselves. Much like the iTunes store for music proved what was capable with the iPod with its launch in April, 2003, the iPhone's true capabilities came to fruition the day the App Store was launched in July, 2008.
P.S. Anyone remember 'Software Dispatch'?
