so how will all not mean all? a check is given these days and cashed then and there at most places. I can with any phone make deposits a banks that isn't that new. if the phone has the app.

You lost me.What do you mean by the above statement?

You lost me.What do you mean by the above statement?

the mark of the beast.

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16-17

all must mean all. babies and children. have you ever paid for something in cash while not old enough to drive? have a credit card or work?

So if I lose my phone I also lose my wallet? No thanks.

Contactless credit cards will keep this at bay.

I don't understand something. Last I checked, Android had over 50% of the smart phone market. Apple has about 43%. Windows and BlackBerry help fill in the rest. Google has had Google Wallet for a while, and I pay for some things by tapping my phone on credit card readers. So, why are so many people acting as though Apple invented the time machine?

In my opinion this looks like Apple being arrogant and its followers hanging on every move they make. I get why Apple is saying what it's saying, but why is the tech world in awe of what a product with less market share is bringing to the table after the market leader already has it? Last month, over 75% of new phone shipments were Android. Why does Apple still control the message?
