There’s definitely a lot to digest from yesterday’s iPhone and iWatch announcement. My primary thought is this: I’m more interested in Apple Pay than I am in Apple Watch. Since my goal is to streamline my tech existence – and ultimately carry fewer devices or amenities – Apple Pay offers the greatest benefit, since I can leave my wallet at home, whereas Apple Watch just allows me to leave my phone in my pocket.
Apple Pay and Apple Watch are obviously not mutually exclusive – quite the opposite, actually – but in terms of my day-to-day existence, I’m more looking forward to whatever replaces the thing in my back pocket, not my side.
