Apple Pay is far from a perfect system and Apple's Touch ID
definitely doesn’t rank among the securest identification solutions out
there. However Cupertino has become notorious for pushing the payment
system both at home and abroad relentlessly ever since its release. And
when you put a corporate machine as mighty as Apple behind such an
effort, it comes as no surprise that it becomes widespread and
universally accepted at some point. That's just how business works.
But, before we sound way too disappointed from Apple Pay for no apparent reason, we will be quick to note that where there is smoke, there is fire and all that hard work has led to some pretty nice features and services in the past few months. A perfect example is a new system that FIS and Payment Alliance intend to start rolling out this summer. Their goal is to enable cardless withdraws from ATMs with authentication being provided from Apple's Touch ID.
If everything pans out correctly, users should be able to eventually withdraw money using only their iPhone from one of over 70,000 AMT locations the two companies run across the US, including gas stations, stores, restaurants and shopping malls. Now, since FIS and Payment Alliance operate AMTs independently from any bank, this should, theoretically means that the system could be bank-agnostic, as opposed to some similar solutions, currently being rolled out by Bank of America and Wells Fargo, which use Apple Pay to make withdraws.
FIS and Payment Alliance's solution will work through a QR code app
from FIS, which uses Touch ID for authentication and generates a unique
QR that the ATM can read and process. The partners claim this will
increase security by eliminating some common risks like skimmers and
"shoulder surfing".

The official unveiling of the iPhone 7 is still a long way off and these could possibly be decoys. However, leaked dimensions show the new phone will be the same size as its predecessor and Apple's security in recent years hasn't been particularly good at keeping secrets anyway.
It seems that Apple is betting on the iPhone Plus to bring the novelty (with things like a dual-camera setup) while the iPhone 7 will be a simple refresh.
If rumors are to be believed, the Galaxy Note 6 is going to feature a 5.8-inch ‘Slim RGB’ AMOLED display with a Snapdragon 823 process under the hood coupled with 6GB of RAM. There’s also the possibility that the Galaxy Note 6 is going to feature an iris scanner. From the looks of it, the Galaxy Note 6 has a good chance of being the first consumer device from Samsung to feature its LPDDR4 6GB DRAM. It goes without saying that we can then expect this component to be used for the Galaxy S8 as well. Built on the 10nm process the 6GB DRAM should provide more power while consuming less energy, thus contributing to extending the battery life of the upcoming flagship. We’ve already told you that Samsung has started firmware development for the Galaxy Note 6 and that the handset is likely to arrive in August.

In a newly submitted letter, Apple has argued that the government is planning to make similar requests in future, so it's important for both parties to know what the court thinks, and that too without any further delay - the case has been dragging on for nearly 3 months now.
