Will we ever get there?
No wallet, no keys, no cards, just 1 phone. Seems we are getting closer but there is usually a couple of exceptions that throws a monkey wrench in the whole concept.
Oh and a flexible phone would be great since I want to put that phone in my back pocket where my over sized wallet used to be.
 
Probably not for a long, long, time! It will be awhile before government agencies issue out electronic personal verification/identification credentials (driver's licenses, SS Cards, Gun Cards, etc).

I suspect we will get to a point where all financial stuff is electronic....Not sure how :apple:Pay will work at ATMs yet...this wasn't discussed during the Keynote. We can already store gift cards, membership cards, etc. So we are getting there slowly but surely.
 
There will always be that merchant that only takes cash. Pisses me off every time. I just avoid those places. I hate carrying cash and receiving it back from change. So ancient!
 
Shouldn't be too hard for the government to implement. Hopefully they get started on trying.
