This is how theft works in the future: You mug someone on the street, and steal their iPhone. You run to the nearest store and buy a lot of items. The phone says: 'You are in Electronics Depot, 88th street, with a purchase of $3499'. You type in the amount of payment, and walk out, throwing the iPhone in the trash.
> "You open Uber, ask for a driverless cab. Sometime during the ride the car tells you the ride costs $ 15.00 and asks for a payment. As you tap into 'My Wallet', the screen tells you 'You are inside Lyft #412...'"
2016 is going to be an awesome year if you can open your Uber app and get a Lyft.
Square tried it. It (sadly) never caught on.
I know I'm being dismissive, but the title of the article is equally dismissive.
> You tap into your wallet and it says 'You are in Forever 33, 88th street' you type the amount of payment or the cashier number and that's it.
I don't get it. This sounds more cumbersome than Apple Pay.
