I have a debit card that already does this...

I don't care about the barely touching thing.

I like that in a few years I'll be able to go anywhere carrying only my phone, or watch, and pay up for anything quickly.

Most phones will do this as well, soon enough. But I'm glad that Apple is pushing it, because that's how vendors get on board.

 

[Enfinit]

Isn't the Touch ID already vulnerable too?

It is if you allow multiple user fingerprints, I think. I'm not really sure. Haven't had a problem with mine whatsoever, though.

 

[Shearie]

what happens then what you lose your phone? how do you pay for shit?

With my good looks like always.

 

[Squalor]

McDonald's, Panera Bread, and Subway are all gross.

 

[-PXG-]

Cue all the people who just have to point out the revelation that this tech already exists on their current phone.

And Apple acts like it's brand new...

 

[flyover]

Whole Foods. Apple Pay my motherfucking quinoa, bitches!

(I think this is cool.)

 

[Anth0ny]

holy christ that pop for whole foods

 

[Sai-kun]

Why would u shop for beats

 

[Trago]

Beats Headphones eh?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Excuse me, do you have an outlet I can use to pay my bill?

 

[mrklaw]

will it work offline if I don't have a signal when I buy something?

 

[The Real Abed]

I wonder if we'll see cases of phones being stolen and using the card associated with it. It seems like it could happen but it depends on how security stuff is set up.

It uses TouchID. They'd have to steal your thumb. Also, if the phone is stolen, it disables it through Find My iPhone.

will it work offline if I don't have a signal when I buy something?

This. Do I need to rely on my internet?

 

[EviLore]

Screw chip and pin. Fingerprint authenticated NFC future. Chip and pin is so damned slow for transactions.

 

[a secret-boss]

Apple working with Target

oh the retailer that got hacked

 

[tanuki]

Shit, Apple taking on Paypal. Didn't see that coming.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

So what do i do when my battery runs out ? Shit out of luck i guess.

Holy shit LOL!

 

[kabel]

Did they announce prices off contract?

"Apple doesn't know what you bought, where you bought it, and how much you bought it for."

 

[JABEE]

This is pretty cool.

 

[Keyouta]

Canada has nfc available at many stores, which lots of credit cards can use, or your phone. Also, chip and pin on credit and debit cards isn't hard at all to use.

 

[AlexMeloche]

And once your battery life runs out, you can't pay for anything.

...you'll still have your cards. :/

 

[iNvid02]

whatever fucks paypal over

 

[Aquavelvaman]

McDonald's, Panera Bread, and Subway are all gross.

Dude Bacon Turkey Bravo

 

[Zeppu]

So if someone goes to the bathroom and leaves their bag I can scan take a picture of their card from their wallet and can pay with it forever?

 

[MThanded]

At least this means nfc is far from dead.

I'm down.

 

[Vyer]

Mickey D's is adding Apple Pay to the drive through.

dat adoption

 

[insignia16]

Damn that Beats pop off

 

[entremet]

holy christ that pop for whole foods

apple fans and whole food fans intersect. Similar to starbuck fans.

 

[Amory]

Welp, glad I went with the LG G3 instead of waiting.

 

[joeygreco1985]

Seems appropriate that Whole Foods would be on board with this

 

[Somnid]

Guys you don't throw away your Credit Card when you hook it up. Please be sensible here, you can still use a plastic card or cash.

 

[bluelightningduo]

McDonald's, Panera Bread, and Subway are all gross.

True, Wrong, Meh.

 

[Guess Who]

Apple working with Target

oh the retailer that got hacked

Good thing that with this system Target never gets your actual CC info!

 

[PureYeti]

Ew dre beats

Clap clap

 

[knicks]

 

[brokenbeans]

Why would u shop for beats

Why do you think?

 

[victreeb3l]

Venmo, Square, PayPal, Stripe, all these guys are shitting their pants now

 

[fuzzyset]

I'm still not sold on the *need* for mobile payments. You still need to pull something out of your pocket and scan it. I'll still need my wallet for ID, health insurance card, and emergency CC (dat battery) anyhow.

The one cool thing I like is the idea of a dynamic credit card number. I generate a 'temporary' number from Citi or Paypal if I ever buy something from a sketchy online store.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Fair enough I guess.

Still, no way do people still ask for personal ID when using a credit card right?

I do in the US all the time. It's irritating.

 

[JohnDoe]

Based Apple.

 

[ReAxion]

you people drain your batteries that often?

 

[freshair]

The good thing with apple pay is that now there's more adoption for NFC acceptance from stores.

I know CVS and 7-11 has had it for a while now

 

[a916]

And Apple acts like it's brand new...

It's more significant when Apple comes on board and actually brings with it partners instead of having it in your phone and no one adopting it...

 

[Pastry]

So if someone goes to the bathroom and leaves their bag I can scan take a picture of their card from their wallet and can pay with it forever?

It gets verified with the bank, wouldn't work.

 

[Aldebaran]

"I don't know about you, but I'm looking for some Beats headphones."

Jesus no.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

yeah, for major purchases usually. I've had people ask me for my card for $60 grocery payments.

It's still pretty common, really.

Yeah this is true. I'm so used to it by now, that take out my ID along with my credit card.

Unless your battery runs out... You know, something that never happens with that ultra difficult credit/debit card

 

[kharma45]

Screw chip and pin. Fingerprint authenticated NFC future. Chip and pin is so damned slow for transactions.

It is? Takes 2-3 seconds here if you're using a modern terminal. For purchases sub £20 you can go contactless and just touch your card.

 

[DJ88]

And Apple acts like it's brand new...

Uh no they don't. That's what guys like you love to assume though.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Hopefully this increases support for wireless payments all round.
