• Comment: Apple Pay is available at more places than ever, but key opportunities remain

  19-10-2016 21:58 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  I absolutely love using Apple Pay to checkout in stores. Swiping a debit or credit card isn’t too inconvenient but it’s not the most secure way to pay, and new chip terminals in the US are frustratingly slow and unreliable. I use Apple Pay from my Apple Watch whenever possible, and I’m a serious advocate for the payment service among my family and friends with iPhones.
  Two years since first launching in the US, Apple Pay is an option at lots of payment terminals all across the
