It looks like a decent phone though. The wifey will surely want one.
I don't think there is too much more they do with phones other than keep improving them.

So how does Apple Pay differentiate from traditional NFC services that have been around?

220,000 U.S. merchants going to support Apple Pay. That's pretty impressive

It has a shit ton more pixels so it's not going to get double battery life, only if it had the same size screen.

I think your crap battery life is cased by the horrible signal you get at work. Your phone works harder when it has weak signal

So I gotta ask... Will Apple Pay change the merchant/payment landscape... This could really be a big deal.
