Yup, as one of those Australian who solely uses an iPhone I don't give a crap about contactless payment via the iPhone. I use my card, which I keep in my wallet.
If I break my iPhone I pay a fortune to replace it. I really do to want to lose the ability to pay for stuff at the same time.
- zepto 10y agoThen why would you care if Apple gets their way?
- chris_wot 10y agoIncreased costs and a walled garden is fine for their App Store, but not for systems dealing with financial transactions. That's why.
- zepto 10y agoYou haven't actually explained anything - you've just made a statement. Why shouldn't Apple be able to ship whatever product they want? Why should banks be able to force an API on them?
- chris_wot 10y agoThey can, but to make inroads into the Australian market they have to work with the four major banks in Australia. These banks don't have to use ApplePay, and if they don't get greater access to a variety of things they just won't use Apple. And I won't really care, because I'll use my contactless card like I always have. HTH.
