    Since they do partner with all 3 major cards to do this thing, I'm pretty sure Apple will get some kind of a $$$ kickback from the transaction processing.
    Yea that video brings up some good points... they are processing both side of the transaction in a hardware sense. Ipad for sale and iphone from the buyer. They should be able to get in for a quarter percent or more if they cover some of the theft risk. If what you are saying is true it should cut down on chargebacks in a big way and save the card companies a lot.

    I have the 5S and no plans to upgrade. It serves my every need. And the fingerprint scanner is brilliant. That alone makes Apple better. Trust me, once you try that fingerprint you will never look back.

    so android doesnt have an App Store? android is for serious multi tasking ... before i went to samsung a few months ago, my 3yr old htc evo 4g lte's did more actual computer multi tasking than the new iphone will do... some might say that they are all basically the same these days... but wait till you need to open up a handful of books, a lines service and have your gf mass texting the fukk out of you while you are trying to get some work done... see how fast your shit stalls and crashes

    Samsung has all the tech but what do they do with it? Apple has all the apps. NFC is great for remote control but if Apple has Apple Pay and all the vendors, android doesn't matter. It's like the best poker room software without the people in it.

    Love my LG G2.

    We'll see what happens with Apple Pay. Even when I did occasionally happen to see vendors that accepted mobile payments in the past...ended up paying with credit or DC anyway. Paying that way has never been an inconvenience or problem that needed to be fixed for me...so the mobile payments was more of a novelty than anything. I picture it been big at places like Starbucks.

    I have the LG G2 as well. It's actually on it's way back from getting repaired (I have awful luck with phones, luckily always under warranty) but until it had an issue I've been pretty happy. I don't really know anyone with a G2 and definitely no one with a G3 but I'm about to start an internship at a big investment company (IT position, I'm not a rich business/economics graduate) and they are issuing me an iPhone, but I don't think I'll let it replace my G2 unless it gets me out of my phone bill each month. G2 takes nice photos, nice brilliant display that is large, pretty responsive. Best phone I've ever had.

    Google Play store sucks. App Store is much better.

    My question is...why does apple cause so much butthurt to android users? who gaf really? There are arguments for both but it always seems to be the android users that are first to lash out? Does this say something about their general user base or am I just imagining all of this?

    That's ridiculous. There are way more Android users than iphone users. All vendors support both ios and android. If you use another operating system then yeah.

    The biggest problem with iphone users is that they are brainwashed to think the iphone is the best phone even though they have never tried an Android or a Windows phone before. How can you decide which one is the best if you don't try all and see which one works best for you?

    I've had android and windows phones in the past. Then switched to iPhone and never got back. Samsung phones rarely last over 2 years while my father still uses 3Gs with no issues at all.
