I find it so interesting that a drug store seems to sell better cables than Apple. This one is what I believe braided, so far it seems more tougher and stronger. Apple seem to be allergic to strain relief and thicker cables, I too have a 7-11 cable that has lasted since the original iPhone 5. > I wonder with Apple offering their own credit card that gives higher cashback if that might make people want to shop at more merchants that accept it. I think it's kinda cool to pay for stuff using your watch, but maybe I'm a show off being in a small town. The first time using it in real life and the cashier mentioned how she doesn't trust it, which I'm a tech nerd so I understand tech more but I can see how people are afraid. Wouldn't surprise me if it was her first time someone ever used Apple Pay either. I have a relative who said he'd never do online banking because he doesn't want his information on the internet, yet his banking information is accessed by the computers in the branch in their database already. Wouldn't surprise me if the only difference is some fields in the database account table or a separate table for online enabled accounts. OnlineBankingEnabled, username, email, password (hopefully hashed!) Japan is a pretty conservative place too, I don't mind things changing slowly personally.
