It's probably more rare on the iPhone because people are probably surfing less on their 4 inch screens and using mobile websites when they do. If they have a bigger iPhone, they might surf more and use full websites like they do on their iPad.
I think the iPads suffer a lot more from memory shortages than the iPhone does. Sure, I have to reload pages from time to time on my iPhone, but it's kind of rare. On the iPad, it may be a bit worse since I'm more prone to leave more tabs open, and use more memory-hogging apps like games. Would I mind more RAM in the iPhone? Of course not (unless it had negative repercussions), but I'm not too worried about it.
When they reveal the iPads in October, I'd like to see more RAM in them. Will the same 1GB be a deal breaker? Mmmm maybe. Although, not including TouchID would be a deal breaker for me just like it was with the first Air.
Have you actually used it? I have. You tap your phone and that's it (if you haven't opened the Wallet app in a while you'll need to put in a pin). I have all my cards in there, I can switch to whichever I need and pay with it.
I most definitely do doubt that everyone will know, especially considering the two people in my family that have iPhones have no idea how the Notification Center even works.
I don't think its hard to use, but when carriers get in the way, and when only Master Card worked at first, there's a reason why it didn't take off.Have you actually used it? I have.

Apple always seems to produce new technologies right.
Google goes NFC NFC NFC! and then.....nothing. They expect everyone else to figure it out.
Apple goes NFC and heres how our payment system works. Here is who we already have partnered with. Here is why its better for you. Here is why it will help reduce fraudulent charges.
Again, implementation and follow thru are the most important parts. Not just waving your hands around and saying you have the technology but haven't implemented it anywhere useful.
As for the size, I am on the fence. Everytime I see a note I cringe. The thing is gigantic. Not sure if I want an iPhone that is that size.
Ugh, decisions decisions.
Yeah, they tried to deny access to the secure element. But Google's one notable success was permanently circumventing that with its secure element emulation built in to the Play Store version of Wallet. It just works now - on all recent devices.And Verizon has been fighting Google wallet all the way. And some manufacturers had their own deals and blocked Google Wallet installs on their devices.
No I haven't used it, because I need a new sim card to do so. I'll go to the at&t store tomorrow and get one, but the only store I know that takes it is CVS, and maybe best buy. Has that changed?Have you actually used it? I have. You tap your phone and that's it (if you haven't opened the Wallet app in a while you'll need to put in a pin).

<Serious non-troll intro>
Why would anyone buy the 6+ over similar phones like the Note4/G3? I truly do not understand. Resolution, battery, memory, storage, camera don't compete. I have no doubt Apple will put together a superior software product, but that's not enough. The integrated NFC payment is long overdue and much appreciated. I just don't see the real hardware innovation.

iPhone camera is almost always the best of class. This hasn't changed since the beginning. Software is by far the most important part. Something that google consistently drops the ball on.
I am not sure what you expect since Apple hasn't been on a forefront of hardware for a long time. The last time they did was the retina display. Apple has a year long product cycle. Their competitors constantly throw stuff on the wall to see if its sticks (I am looking at you samsung). How do you expect them to compete on hardware when their competitors refresh their phones on an almost monthly basis?
Again, I am not sure how serious you are considering you dismiss software as if its not one of, if not the most important portion of a smartphone.

This is not true, Apple's low light performance is trash and there are phones with MUCH better overall performance.
Sure there are phones that beat it out in one area. But since most consumers only have one phone at a time there aren't many that do it all as well as apple.
I agree and I suppose that's my complaint. I guess four years is awhile...I am not sure what you expect since Apple hasn't been on a forefront of hardware for a long time. The last time they did was the retina display.
