No need, since they're only doing this after (again) being forced by EU regulations, https://9to5mac.com/2024/01/25/apple-pay-nfc-europe-alternative/ https://9to5mac.com/2024/01/25/apple-pay-nfc-europe-alternat..., so no extra credit handed out :)
Curious to hear what people who usually think EU regulations hinders innovation thinks of this move, since it seems like regulation actually promoted innovation in this case. Just a edge-case or perhaps something more?

- diggan 2y agoAnother move that seems at a glance to foster innovation, not remove it. Just like having a common standard like PCI helped innovation in desktop computers, making sure companies use a standard charging connection could have the same effect.
