To be fair it's not Apple that's at fault here, but it is a problem that manifests itself around the Apple brand, so it is very much an Apple problem. There is also another more recent issue which hasn't been picked up yet (apart from by one particularly insightful writer [0]) -- Apple Pay tokens can be grabbed from iPhones and spent later (and at any amount) by anyone wielding an Android NFC device running a particular publicly available app. While presented by the author of this app as a bit of fun, it is also a POC for a relay attack against Apple Pay. This also applies to Google Wallet, as it exploits a problem that lies with the Visa software in contactless terminals in the US. Again, it's not a problem with Apple Pay but it is a problem for Apple Pay.
