From all of today's announcements, this may be what really moves the needles (!)



Saying that, I would love to have been a fly on the wall after last weeks iCloud celebrity photos hack.

Apple's partners in this, including Visa, Mastercard and Amercian Express, as well as all those prominent banks must have been looking for reassurances that payment and card data was going to be safe.

It must have been an embarassing week.

Considering that Apple/iCloud doesn't store any payment or card data with Apple pay, and that the hack in question wasn't due to any specific weakness in Apple/iCloud infrastructure, I very much doubt there were any reassurances required...
