> For now, it can juggle more tabs, load more Facebook, export faster videos, and put a lot less stress on your wrist—and for the average iPad user who hasn't upgraded in a while, those boosts may certainly be convincing enough.

> The problem is that under the terms of their MCX contractual agreement, they are not supposed to accept competing mobile payments products like Apple Pay, according to multiple retailers involved with MCX, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. If these retailers break their contracts, they will face steep fines for doing so, these people said.

Maybe these retailers should adopt a "don't ask, don't tell" attitude, and pretend their customers are using plastic credit cards with NFC capability.

> Never mind and never fear. I am an, thankfully, expert of sentences. Read on and be disbelieving! There is much to have taught you, and little time, so very, very little and small time.
