I think it's important to know that NFC can't only be used for wireless payment. There are a lot of other uses for it also:

How am I wrong? Notification Center shows me my schedule. Are you saying you want to see your schedule on your lockscreen?
Can do all of that w/ Bluetooth and passbook.
I would love to have to learn some new things about iOS. That's an exciting aspect that comes with getting a new phone and updates to its OS, but iOS hasn't really made people learn new things for a while.I frankly don't mind complexity to some extent, as long as it's still Apple style. I wouldn't mind having to actually learn something new about iOS on my own for once.
You still have to swipe the NC down to see it, and you can't scroll through your schedule further into the future. In that case you could just as well tap the calendar and open it.
When I had a calender widget on my start page I found it very useful getting reminded on upcoming events every time I looked at the phone and being able to scroll through them right from the start screen and being able to open a specific appointment by tapping it from the widget.
However, I understand this isn't for everyone, which I guess is why it's completely optional which (if any) widgets you have activated on your Android phone.
And I can't see how it can be a downside to the ones not wanting them if the option to use them for others were there? If you believe widgets are battery hogs, then just not use them. I still think it would be great for people who want them to have the option.

Apple had better start rethinking IOS with release 7 or they'll loose market share.
They have not kept up with consumer needs and as you can see their stock price has suffered.
The Maps fiasco demonstrated that they are not a software company (but then so has Mountain lion).
I have never updated my OSs as each update seems to make things worse.
If they dont score a win with IOS 7, I suspect they will fall out of favor.
This might be true, but what does Apple spend their time on? Facebook integration? Passbook? Each year, I keep wondering what the whole OS team did with their time over the last year.It's not that I'm against anyone having an option to have widgets, I just feel Apple's time could be better spent on more useful things.

iOS 6 looks more like iOS 2.4
I've always wondered why Android phone makers think users care about the weather so much... I mean really?! I honestly don't mind tapping an icon to see the 5 day weather forecast, and if I want to know what it is now, well then I can look out side can't I?
My only wish is better battery life! I hate not even being able to make it through an entire day with my phone.
Why the hell are you and your friends just staring at your phone. Learn to download apps and actually use it. Duh. It's not apples fault you're boring.
An interesting mobile os concept

apple really needs to do a major upgrade to iOS and not just those .x like updates. I mean iOS 6 looks more like iOS 2.4
I like how they used all edges for os functions. apple should implement something similar. Now we are using only top edge. Use of bottom edge for home button like function could bring as iphone without a home button - true minimalist designThis is what iOS should have evolved into....the quick reply and settings are pretty awesome. Interested to see what this will bring to the mobile market.
Actually I disagree. Apple would be foolish to radically change iOS because that would put them in the same situation as Microsoft, with Windows 8. If you want an operating system more like Android, then you should go and buy an Android phone. Android is not gaining marketshare because it's a superior operating system, it's because it's a cheaper operating system. If you watch the original iPhone demo Steve Jobs did, you'll see that it was the software that stole the show, not the hardware. Apple should keep to what they do best a release high-quality solutions to problems, not gimmicks (snapping two phones together to share files).
As someone who switch from Android only a month ago, I don't miss widgets at all, but also don't miss awful battery life and having to micromanage my phones Wifi and 3G in order to get good battery.
