I loved the one where they announced the first store in China, so now they can actually pretend that Chinese people are interested in paying the Apple tax instead of just walking off the factory floor with product. Or outright stealing their build specs and opening up their own knock-off Apple factory.

Because as we all know, the Chinese are thieves and uncivilized.

How are they specially formatted at all? They look like the new fad for articles that has existed for the past two or three years.

AH geez, curated news, so the more you read the more it feeds you things you have a pre-existing bias towards. Nice! They basically made Reddit the newsreader.

I'm sure you would appreciate having a "Are Blacks fundamentally inferior?" Fox News article

Wait what. Is this a joke specifically at my expense? I'm known for being an android sperglord and buying/returning devices, not racism....

If you're not searching for racist articles, obviously the best way to prevent an echo chamber from developing is to show you racist articles.

100,000,000,000 app downloads.

What are the odds that includes updates?

They've sold 800 million iOS devices as of last year (and the iPhone 6/+ sold millions), so it might be legitimate.

So is Apple Music like Spotify where you can play whatever you want, or is it more like Pandora?

There's a free version that's like Pandora ( look here: http://www.apple.com/music/membership/ ) and a paid version that's basically Spotify.

Likely not any worse than any terrestrial top 40 radio service it seems to be modeled after.

So nerds will hate it and everyone else won't really care.

If Apple Pay could somehow incorporate my loyalty cards to auto scan/check in when I pay with Apple Pay, that would be amazing.

Tried doing an purchase at Walgreens today and want to still go through 3 different screens for my reward balance and poo poo like that

That's an explicit new feature of iOS 9. It was even demoed onstage.

Yeah I agree, from the consumer end NFC payments will basically work and feel the same no matter if the antenna is in the card or in an iPhone or Android, as long as the retailer has the hardware. This is a case of a rising tide lifts all boats too, so just watch out for the silly CurrentC people.

The adoption of new hardware is probably more related to the Credit Card companies going "either support/offer chipped cards or all the liability goes onto you". Businesses have ~5 months or so to comply.
