You seem to have missed the point of the comment you replied to: > Apple's rarely ever first to the table with any technology. They take what others are doing on a limited scale and ramp it up to the mainstream with a spit-shine. No one's arguing it's necessary or even desirable to do technological innovation to be successful or market tech products to the masses. New "things" generally need a generation or three until ready for that. Taking existing facial recognition tech used for authentication in one domain (OS login) and applying it to a new domain (payments) is not innovation in my book. It's just the natural next step.
