Apple and Goldman were planning stock-trading feature for iPhones until markets turned last year

$Apple(AAPL.US)$ was exploring the launch of an iPhone feature that would let users buy and sell stocks, according to three sources familiar with the plans.
The offering would have been in partnership with $Goldman Sachs(GS.US)$ , which has worked with Apple on other financial products.
The iPhone maker decided the timing wasn’t right as markets slumped, and the company put the plan on pause, sources say.
