"That could be ideal for the forthcoming iPad, which is rumored to offer Touch ID and Apple Pay"

Can't wait to be in line behind the person fumbling to get our their iPad to pay for a pack of gum. Phone and watch should be smooth though.

From the way the rumor mill is churning it looks like the iPad won't have NFC, and so the Apple Pay functionality would be limited to In App purchases through Instacart, Groupon and such, rather than In Store purchases at Walgreens.

It might not be as silly on an iPad Mini. Also you may be using Apple Pay to pay for things at home (e.g. Pizza Delivery, or to renew your Keurig 3.0 online subscription to re-activate your coffee machine).
