“The 1998 debut of the Bondi Blue iMac at Cupertino’s Flint Center marked the beginning of a golden era at Apple and the return of Steve Jobs,” Dawn Chmielewski writes for Re/code. “On Tuesday, Tim Cook, who took over Apple from Jobs in 2011, will seek to establish his own legacy on the same stage when he introduces the new iPhones — and one more thing.”
“Cook is expected to lead the maker of computers, tablets, music players and smartphones into its first major new product category in four years — wearable computing,” Chmielewski writes. “As we’ve reported, the new iPhones will also incorporate mobile payments — allowing shoppers to replace cash or credit cards with a wave or tap of your phone at checkout terminals. It could also end up being one of the more important new products for Apple if payments becomes a recurring revenue source.”
