Apple has made a habit out of taking existing ideas and enticing us to fall over ourselves in desire for them. The world waits with baited breath as we inch closer to the confirmation of the iWatch. Wearable smart technology was the rage this year, with a slew of new devices having been released. The overall reaction was largely a shrug of the shoulders. What could Apple have up its sleeve to trigger the passions of their customers? Remove the clumsiness and risk from mobile payments.
Near-Field Communications (NFC) between the iWatch, your iPhone and the retailer’s point of sale could serve. A passcode and the payment confirmed—simple, safe, and swift. Potential from Google Now with voice commands is expected to be fierce. Does removing a key command make someone really want to shout his or her pin number aloud?
The answer to why appears to be in what the iWatch can do with the other iDevices you already have. The dual device approach poses them to tempt the medium once again.
