They've already started that with Facebook Login, which is integrated in 80 of the top 150 apps. Many users refuse to create an account because FB Login is so easy to use (one click register and one click login). They are also doing Facebook Payments (one click fill out payment info).

They also own Parse.com, which is the backbone to over 300,000 apps (there's only 1.2 million iOS apps). They own ALL that data, all the developers...

They own Onvato, regarded as the richest data set for all mobile. Onvato sits between a users phone and their carrier by actually changing the carrier profile on the phone (iOS and Android), and compresses the data so users get 30% more data on their limited data plans. Imagine the data goldmine here.


THEY ARE becoming a utility, and that's a natural part of losing the 'cool' factor. How 'cool' was the telephone in 1903? How cool is it now in 2013? But we still use it everyday.
