The commentators have had a field day writing about the the new iPhone, the Apple watch and ApplePay. The forecasts swing both ways on the impact of these devices on us humans. How quickly we forget what the world was like before the iPhone.
Now when we leave home, we might forget our billfold or our purse, but we will turn the car around should we forget our iPhone. I am with mine all the time. It is never more than a few inches away from me. I already purchased my iPhone 6+.
I was somewhere in the mix of 4 million other humans who bought the iPhone in the first 24 hours after orders were accepted. That is more than a $1 billion of new orders in less than a day. Any other company would be closing the company down for a celebration with new orders of that size, but Apple keeps plugging along. We expect Apple to WOW us and we are never disappointed.
The phone and the watch are great, but Applepay is the secret sauce that makes the apple new product dinner a delicacy for our technology taste buds. I have several credit cards in my wallet. These cards go away with Applepay. But that is just the beginning. It does not take much imagination to imagine the end of the drivers license, my AAA cards, my AARPS membership card, marriott card etc. and every other card I own including the necessity to carry cash. Applepay is the true dawn of emoney. Imagine Apple making a penny or two off of every monetary transaction you make. It is a lot of pennies.
Think about Applepay. It is the real deal. And by the way if you think about it, who needs a credit card? Applepay can hook directly to your bank account for deposits and charges. What is a VISA card the child of the year 2020 asked? It was a card we carried in our billfold. What is a billfold the child asked?
Check me out.
