When the iPhone rings, the economy listens
Does the iPhone have the US economy over a barrel?
In the meantime, a global phenomenon (the iPhone) and a global commodity (oil) are both working their magic on the U.S. economy, often together. Those lower gas prices mean upwards of $10 billion a month in the hands of consumers rather than oil companies. And $10 billion can buy a lot of iPhones.

CVS joins Rite Aid in blocking Apple Pay in "CurrentC" plan to collect more customer data
...a series of retailers are opposed to the success of Apple Pay because the new system keeps user's transactions private and doesn't collect or track their purchasing history, providing the store with little more than the funds to cover the sale.

OS X Yosemite: Handing off calls to your iPhone
Handoff promises a fundamentally different approach to computing than Microsoft's "Windows Everywhere" or Google's "everything in the cloud". With Handoff, there's no convergence of interface or single truth kept on a server. Apple is keeping the Mac the Mac, and the iPhone and iPad the iPhone and iPad. They simply all integrate together so that your activities can go from device to device transparently, seamlessly, wherever you go.
