What We Still Don't Know About the Apple Watch and Apple Pay

Apple unveiled its latest generation of devices Tuesday, and while there was much to ogle and covet, there are still many basic unanswered questions.

On the Apple Watch

• What’s the battery life? Apple told reporters following the event to “charge it at night,” suggesting it may only last a day, but even then, why don’t they say how long it lasts?
• How will it work with Apple Pay if it doesn’t have fingerprint ID? Can someone steal my Apple Watch and go to Disney World on a shopping and ride spree?
• How much storage does it have? How many songs or other media will it hold when it’s not connected to the phone?
• Apple told Re/code’s Ina Fried that the tracking of physical activity and the ability to listen to music will work without being tethered to the iPhone. What else can it do without a phone?
• Apple says the watch starts at $349. It looked like there were many possible configurations, including leather and metal bands. How expensive can it get? Is there a blinged-out version?
• As Felix Salmon points out (via Bloomberg Businessweek), we don’t even know the basic dimensions and weight of the Watch.

On Apple Pay

• Apple says over 200,000 stores are currently enabled to accept Apple’s technology for payments, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they all will. How many stores will actually be able to take Apple Pay when it starts in October?
• What’s the deal structure between Apple and the payment providers? Does Apple make anything on each transaction? How much? Or is there a cost to Apple? If so, how much?
• Why would anyone want to use it?

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
