Just an example. And some iPad owners aren't iPhone owners.
I could come up with more but I'm watching The Big Bang Theory.
I guess you're right. Some people will probably carry around their iPad so they can use
Pay instead of taking their wallet out of their pocket. At least some of the people here will. For now, yes (only debit). Within the next year you can accept payments. NFC hardware works both ways. Apple will take a cut, of course.
Can't wait to see people smash their iPad on the NFC/Wave little guy at the cashier LOL
It's the only thing more painful to watch than seeing someone jabbing at the register's touchscreen with their finger as if they are trying to pop a balloon.
yes... the rotation keyboard is just awesome... Apple could easy done for smaller devices as well just add one row of keyboard...
I have no idea if Apple will be putting 2 GB RAM in the iPad. But the point I was hinting at is that it does cost a LOT to include EVERY feature that some people may benefit from. When you're talking about a single feature, it seems like a no-brainer to include it, but Apple probably has a laundry list of features they COULD add to some of their products.
They could put an accelerometer and a barometer on the iMac, so that if you carry it from room to room or up a flight of stairs, it could calculate the iMac could add the extra exercise to your Health dashboard on your iPhone.
Yes, that's a silly example, but to some few people it would be useful. And the NFC would be useful to some people (without current iPhones), silly to others. Silly or not, maybe it will be there in preparation for a later version of iOS that opens up NFC services for more than just Apple Pay. Or maybe there will be no NFC this year, and Apple will add it in a 2015 version to work with the more open iOS.

That's me. I would buy a Magic Apple Ring
Of course there will still be some differences that are necessary due to hardware differences (or screen size differences), but it's good to eliminate as many needless differences as possible.
Another such example, in iOS 6, you couldn't get to the the camera directly from lock screen on iPad the way you could on iPhone. I'm glad iOS 7 fixed that.
Using an iPad to make NFC payments seems rather pointless. Nonetheless, Touch ID will be welcome, especially if they eventually implement multi-user switching.
This makes sense. iPad-based point-of-sale devices are a hugely effective way for small businesses to add sophistication without a lot of cost. I guess Apple would have their eye on some of the money that Square is skimming, and the folks at Square are probably nervously trying to add value (or perceived value) to their product offerings.
There is no reason why 4.7 inch iPhone cannot get the rotation... my 4.5 inch Moto G and 4.7 Nexus 4 can easily do that... I still do not understand why... 4.7 is not small screen...
Really, Apple need to do some optimization for bigger screen... All you get now is blown up iOS to fit into bigger screen. It is time to take that screen to make something useful (multi-window multitasking)...
As someone who wishes they could still get rid of the dictation key (without disabling Siri)...I actually disagree.
Then again, I'm on the 4S... even on a 5 it may be a bit less...cramped.
You certainly don't just get blown-up iOS on the bigger screen. The rotation features on the iPad and iPhone 6+ take advantage of the extra pixels to give you two-panel views in Mail and other apps, including custom Apps. Those two panels are cramped on the 6+ (compared to the iPad), but still useful. I'm not so sure they'd even be useful on a 4.7" iPhone 6. Regular iPhone apps need to be optimized for the smaller screen. Just shrinking down the interface of the iPad to a 4.7" screen is not useful.

As Tim would say, it will be incredible.

It's weird enough to see people taking pictures with iPad, now it will be something to see people pay with iPad.
Not half as bad is will be with people talking into their wrists in a few months.
I didn't say that I agree with it or that I dont, I was stating a fact. I don't own an iPad and I feel like it's far from being an ideal camera, but at the end of the day, a lot of people use it for photography. That's why I believe some people will use it for pos payments, among other uses that will be added.

If the ring is standalone I would get one. Not certain if a chain of devices are required to support the ring.
I think that all future devices will be interdependent, not standalone. In a few years an iPhone and all the accessories- watch, ring, sunglasses etc, will set you back $5K.

Thanks for the info. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. I'll stick to what I know
