Apple needs help: iWatch, 'Retina' iPad mini delayed until 2014?

Check your sources

Check your sources. DigiTimes is consistently wrong and they have no journalistic integrity in my opinion. DigiTimes is accurate only when they are reporting the obvious that anyone familiar with technology or the market can already guess. They frequently quote "sources" that are "close to Apple". This usually means they made it up. Financial Times' reputation is also faltering if they are relying on "people familiar with Apple's thinking". This is not investigative journalism. Uncovering what will be in Apple's next product release is not on par with uncovering graft and corruption. If you can't name your sources why should we believe you?

Dad sues Apple for pushing cash-draining 'free' games at kids

Re: When will parents learn

You haven't created an Apple ID recently, have you? There is absolutely no need to provide credit card information or any other payment information to sign up for iTunes.

Re: When will parents learn

I do have children and I let them use my iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. However, I have taken the time to educate all 3 of my children ages 7 to 16 about in-app purchases. Furthermore, I configured all of my devices to block in-app purchases. Additionally, I have created iTunes accounts for my children that is NOT associated with a credit card. Anyone can do this. It is not rocket science. Mac user can install the Apple Configurator and Mac and Windows users can both use the iPhone Configuration Utility, a free download from Apple to configure many different security settings on all iOS devices. There is no excuse for not protecting your children, your devices and yourself. Shame of that father for not learning more about the technology he puts into the hands of his child.
