- refulgentis 3y agoThis is a new web standard, it’s not Apple Pay.
- scarface_74 3y agoNo one is disputing that this is a new standard. The dispute is that Apple wouldn’t support it because it would take away from some hypothetical App Store revenue. Apple already supports the existing standard showing the argument doesn’t hold.
- refulgentis 3y agoArticle & spec mention privacy issues re: connecting users to payments, that seemingly would allow someone to pay for an app subscription without going through the store, since the payment receiver gets user details
- madeofpalk 3y agoThis is possible already with Apple-supported Payment Request API (and even without those APIs, like just logging into a website). This is how Netflix on iOS works, which is explicitly supported (though with stupid cavets) by Apple.
- scarface_74 3y agoI just signed up to a subscription via the web using Apple Pay. They automatically had my name and email address.
