Everything I've read says ApplePay works with TouchID only.

Why do you have to enter your PIN 60 times if you use TouchID?

And I agree, allowing a credit card payment without requiring any type of authorization would be "not exactly safe". It would be a bad idea, IMHO.

(I do wish the TouchID could be used directly from the off state. Hitting the power button then using TouchID seems to be a waste of a step. Am I missing where that's available?

EDIT: Nevermind - just found I can push the TouchID button to turn it on and it reads my fingerprint at the same time. So one-touch, 1/2 second power/authentication)

I'm probably in the minority (as I have been with Treo, Palm, Blackberry...), but the iP6 is too big IMHO. With my 5, I could cradle it in one hand and my thumb could reach corner to corner.

With the 6, first of all, it's top heavy and feel like it's going to tip over the top of my hand. My thumb come up about 1/2" short of the top left and bottom left icons. My photos look nice, but I use it as a work tool, not for looking at pictures, watching movies, playing video games, etc. And it sticks out of a shirt pocket, unlike the 5.

But I'll suck it up, put some dummy icons in the corner, and make do.
