"Apple Pay" is currently being served only in the United States.Apple's WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) held on June 8 (local time) stated that it would start service in the UK this fall.
I don't know when it will be used in Japan, but I have an iPhone 6 and I want to try it as soon as I do this.When I actually challenged, the hurdles were scattered around here and there, but I would like to introduce somehow that the author who lives in Japan and sometimes comes to the United States.By the way, the first thing I bought on Apple Pay was Lunch by WHOLE FOODS FOOD BAR.
First of all, I love credit card selection, point services, and store royalty programs.However, I hate that the wallet is thicker with various cards.The first solution to this contradiction was the Osaifu -Keitai, which started services from feature phones in Japan.Information such as Suica, various prepaid cards, store point cards, etc. using FeliCa is recorded in feature phones and smartphones.With one mobile phone, you no longer need to carry several cards in your wallet.
From my belief that this thoughtful background and some people are surprised and praised anything about Apple, and that Apple's services are not good or bad for the time being.It was also available on iPhone 6.This shopping mountain range introduces this process and the required costs.The mechanism of Apple Pay has a different taste, so it is reported with a special project listed at the same time.I want you to read it together.
Apple Pay provides services only in the United States.This is because there are only credit services and banks that issue credit card/debit cards corresponding to Apple Pay.However, the enabled Apple Pay can be used in some countries in the world where these credit card/debit cards can be used.In terms of operation, it is an international credit card/debit card, which is extremely limited, but there are places in Japan that can be paid with Apple Pay.This will be introduced later.
It is often misunderstood as a payment service because payment is completed in contactless (non -contact), but Apple Pay is more accurate.Apple does not issue a card.All you have to do is to pay the cards issued by US banks electronically in Wallet and make a secure payment procedure.In other words, there is an actual card at the same time in the user's hands.A credit card/debit card issued in the United States was needed, which was the first hurdle.
