And if you notice, NFC of course isn't in the 5, 5c, 5s. So it makes me wonder if Apply Pay will work with a watch paired to an iPhone 5 series device. That might be a little nudge to get the Apple watch.
- craigching 12y agoOh, that's a good point. You're probably right, can't use Apple Pay with a watch paired with 5/5c/5s. I noted that the credit card information is available via passbook, but the 5's don't have the related hardware to support Pay, right? I mean the watch has the NFC, but the ability to generate the one-time numbers probably has to come from the phone?
- ChuckMcM 12y agoIt all seems a bit tangled together doesn't it? I get that when it makes sense but not when it crimps the addressable market fairly severely.
- digikata 12y agoI don't know if maybe the one-time number capability is tied to hardware, or tied to network connectivity - or maybe you need only one of the two paths. In which case, you might be able to do it with a 5/5c/5s with network connectivity and a Watch, but you can only Pay fully offline with a iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 / Watch.
