They did kind of try to take credit for Wi-Fi calling. I don't know why they tried to tout that as a feature of the iPhone 6 as it is an iOS 8 feature that will work on older devices.

Ummm, I don't remember them taking credit for inventing it, which is what people say about tech they include in their iphones that others already have. Apple is rarely the first to put a particular feature in their phones. e.g. the first iPhone didn't even have 3g, even though my old flip phone already had it. They try to make it the best useful feature when they release it, but they don't always hit that mark, either. e.g. Siri - which needs a LOT of work!

The only thing Wifi I have ever really take credit for is the first us of WiFi in personal computers back in 99 when Jobs used a hula hoop to prove that the iBook was wireless.

I didn't say credit for contactless payment. I said they will take credit for it becoming popular.
Again, Apple doesn't take credit for it. Just the stupid rabid fans. If you think that they do take credit, please point to one article anywhere that has Tim Cook stating that.
And the thing is, it might become popular now because of Apple, but you won't hear them saying so. Maybe the media, maybe the fans, but not Apple themselves.
Exactly how are they up Apple's @$$? Why all the hate for Apple?

But they did.
During the event when they introduced ApplePay, they took credit for changing, improving & expanding contactless payment on the mobile platform.
Not saying that is a bad thing, because it is true. Apple coming on board means it will be more popular. But they did take credit for it.
Ahh, you said they took credit for it becoming popular. I said they took credit for it being easier and more secure. A big difference to me, and that is all they are saying.

Easier because it requires a finger print vs a four digit pin?
Expanding the number of vendors accepting contactless payment on mobile devices and making contactless payment on mobile devices popular are the same to me. But we can agree to disagree.
ApplePay will make tap to pay more popular, that's a no brainer.

I just wish that people would leave it at personal preference instead of the mind numbing verbal fighting about which phone or operating system is better. I've had iPhones, Android, and Windows Phone. I absolutely love the Windows Phone OS and it's perfect for me, while my wife loves her iPhone. It's as simple as that. I think that the extra hate comes into play because there is a feeling of a cult mentality from some Apple fans.
The most powerful computer that I have in my office is a Mac, however, there are several very crucial business programs that are unavailable on their OS and programs that can emulate them on the Mac are incompatible. I could have a Windows OS running on that machine as well, but I'm not sucking all that hard drive space away have OS X & 8 running, let alone more probability of something going wrong.

Does Paypal make loans or provide investment products like CDs? They are nothing like a bank. They are more like a prepaid debit card combined with a credit card pass through service.
The main business of a bank is making loans, not storing your money for you. Paypal profits from transaction fees like a credit card processor.

I guess that is true - if you consider credit cards loans. I don't, but I'm in the minority. I still use mine as a charge card - something that makes it easier to make purchases without having to carry a lot of cash.
To me, a loan is X amount of money which is repaid over X amount of time with X number of payments at a fixed, monthly amount. There are some variations, such as the "loan" I just took out against a CD. There is no fixed time or monthly payments, but the total amount owed and the interest being paid are fixed, and cannot be changed without redrawing the contract. The faster I pay it off, the sooner the money in the CD becomes "mine" again. It continues to earn interest, so it becomes a low rate loan.

I look at credit cards as a line of credit usable wherever and whenever I need to use it, but meant to be paid off immediately with no carrying balance.

That is actually Comenity Capital Bank not Paypal themselves.
