That means all of the iPads Apple shows off on Thursday will have a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. That falls in line with screenshots that were accidentally posted to iTunes earlier, showing that the devices will have Touch ID.

Apple Pay will allow iPhone and iPad users to make purchases seamlessly with their devices.

That said, Apple doesn't expect you to lug around an iPad in lieu of your credit cards.

Apple Pay integration for the iPad is likely geared toward online shopping, where the tablet can really excel.

Instead of typing in your credit card every time you want to buy something, you'll simply authenticate and buy the item with a single click.
