Really, today's event was just to show investors how many ways Apple can get residual, subscription income since hardware isn't where it's at any more. Nothing was really re-invented either. These services can be all obtained elsewhere. The integration is the key to this.

What happens when someone steals a 20-something's phone with a crappy PIN on it? That is a gold mine of location and spending data.
