Huh? I never mentioned an article, and I'm certainly not talking about 2011.
Yes, I referenced the article from back in 2011, in my reply to you in post #80. The point was to illustrate how long it had been since Apple had tried to acquire Dropbox to the point when iCloud Drive might actually come to market. The point of using that Dropbox scenario was to illustrate how Apple deciding to do something doesn't automatically kill a player (like Square) in a year or less.
There are people in this thread talking about everyone being able to pay and be paid with Apple Pay such that credit cards may be extinct in one year and Square will be dead because Apple will go for those scraps too. I was trying to illustrate that Apple doesn't usually move that fast even if they wanted Square's business (nor do I expect every person in the world who uses credit cards to own iPhone 6's before the year is up).
I certainly hope that iCloud Drive is excellent. I just don't have as much hope as others seem to have in both iCloud replacing Dropbox or Apple Pay replacing all credit cards everywhere or biting heavily into the smallish business where Square tends to play.
