Early Payment Glitches Ruin Apple Pay's Recent Launch



Apple Pay is a new service that has its bugs,
but it will pull through
  • There are bugs in the system of Apple Pay
  • For example, people using Apple Pay may be double charged on a payment accidentally 
  • In-app purchases aren't doing well either
  • Apple Pay launched when both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus came out
  • Apple Pay is told to be a simpler way to purchase things
  • You must be near a payment terminal and both the phone and terminal must have a NFC chip (near-field communication)
  • This limits the in-store service availability (NFC chip)
  • If you can't get the NFC chip, you can pay with the touch of a finger (fingerprint scan)
  • Saves people time putting in credit card information over and over again
  • The doubled charge problem is not Apple's, but the bank's technology at the time
  • Apple will help banks cancel the duplicate charges for customers
  • There are less than 20 terminals with this NFC chip
  • Apple can work with companies like Staples and Target
