I would laugh if I saw someone paying something with their iPads I would laugh my head off, funnier then seeing people taking photos or making calls from it
Can't wait to hear reports of people accidently getting hit in the face as the iPad rips through the air to the NFC terminal.

Youll have to point said reversal out to us specifically. As that blurb you linked is exactly how I and others understood the process.
Apple reads card and details, authenticates those details with bank, then stores the unique token. Is all it sounds like. Sending your card details during initial setup is expected... Has always been expected.

You're just being dense. Nobody will do it by default, but if it's handy then all the better.
I found it very interesting that Apple took the route that they took with Apple Pay. I was totally expecting them to take advantage of the massive user base of itunes. Instead they went with pure payment system starting from scratch. It's pretty gutsy move in my opinion.
Very few. But I imagine many will use their iPad to shop online and use Apple Pay.
I don't see why you chaps are so critical about Apple Pay in iPads. It is quite common for me to have my iPad in my hand when I am standing in a queue, so I might as well use it to pay for stuff instead of reaching out for my wallet, or for an iPhone for that matter.
Thank you and thank you. I did not expect them to actulally put that option back.
This is actually one of the 2 reasons I had left to stay jailbroken (even before iOS 8). The other being removal of "cellular data is turned off" messages.
Pretty much iOS on iPad and iPhone 6 is blown up one on bigger screen. Seriously, multi-Windows should be there long time ago, there also could be some widgets on bigger screens, there are many way to use extra pixels.
This.
And perhaps you may buy a brand new iPad with touch ID and stick with an iPhone 4S or 5, so iPad would be your only way to use Apple Pay

That said, it could also be useful for Apple to open up NFC ability on the iPad so it could also READ NFC credit cards and smartphone payments.
In other words, have a POS NFC reader app that then talks via LTE to a merchant acquirer.
Think restaurant payments at your table from a waiter with an iPad. Or flea market sales. Or any other place that payment methods like Square are used now.
That way, it's not dependent on any particular app having to be on an iPhone or Android device. And it could read EMV contactless cards.
The only time I used the iPad's camera to take a picture is... guess what... to take a picture of my iPhone!
It's weird enough to see people taking pictures with iPad, now it will be something to see people pay with iPad.
That's one of my favourite things to see when I go on vacation. All of the tourists walking around taking pictures on their full-sized iPads. It's hilarious.
