Apple Pay

Couple of days ago I was watching a documentary on the Apple’s latest move, The Apple Pay from  Apple & I'm so pleased to write about it.

In actual sense, what is Apple Pay & How can it benefit you?

Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple Inc. that lets users make payments using the some of the iDevices which are iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Apple Watch-compatible devices (iPhone 5 and later models), iPad Air 2, and also the iPad Mini 3.

One of the good sides of Apple Pay is that it does not require Apple-specific contactless payment terminals and will work with Visa's PayWave, MasterCard's PayPass, and American Express's ExpressPay terminals.

The official launching of the Apple Pay was held earlier this week with the release of iOS 8.1, many rushed to local participating retailers to be among the first to use their iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus as a mobile wallet. Early reviews peg it as easy to use and incredibly convenient.
