Why only in Tokyo?
In London you can use Apple Pay pretty much everywhere, even in the small food stalls on the street or to enter the underground.
I have seen pretty much the same in Australia, and I guess that in a lot of places in the world is no different.
EDIT: And actually last time that I went in Japan it was still pretty difficult to even use credit cards, so I won't bet on a pervasive use of Apple Pay there.
- ghaff 9y agoI wouldn't say hard in Tokyo but less than the US. The big thing over there for smaller purchases is prepaid cards like Passmo.
- hellweaver666 9y agoIn the Netherlands we have contactless payments everywhere and many places that don't accept cash, but for some reason the banks are being really slow to work with Apple... no sign of ApplePay on the horizon from what I can see.
- kartD 9y agoDuring the earnings call, Cook mentioned that Apple pay is coming to Denmark, Finland, Sweden and UAE this year so maybe next year for the Netherlands?
- fyolnish 9y agoIn Tokyo you can use the watch as a train card(suica), which also works for payment in many many stores/vending machines
- vilmosi 9y agoSame in London
- photojosh 9y agoIn Australia. Only one of the major 4 banks support Apple Pay, and I only have one friend I know who uses it. I could switch banks, but lazy. Are you talking about contactless payments a la PayPass/PayWave?
