    You think the next iPads will have ?Pay? My guess is they won't, like like they don't have PassBook.

    The idea is to make paying for something quick, and easy. Holding up a iPad to a NFC scanner isn't exactly easy. Plus everyone with a iPhone has it on them whilst shopping, iPads I'd say not so much.

    Champagne can only come from the Champagne region in France

    The bubbly wine, yes, the color, no.

    Not paying with the iPad but receiving payments on the iPad.

    1) That's an interesting idea. If they do that it might be the first time Apple has added a HW feature that is primarily for business and not consumer use.

    2) Apple has those card swipe extensions for their iPod Touches but one NFC gets much more popular they could relegate the card swipe device to a single unit with most employees using an iDevice that is designed as an NFC terminal.

    Bingo...could take over the POS industry.  That stuff is really expensive and simplifying it with an idevice could take over that whole market to some degree.  The silent benefit no one is looking at.

    Okay then. :no: :wow: :???:

    Because that region in France has worldwide trademark rights over the use the term Champagne. I remember the news about them enforcing their IP rights over this on an unrelated matter years ago.

    I still want to know if it'll be possible to do P2P "same as cash" transactions using Apple Pay. In theory, since Apple is providing a secure, almost anonymous method of transaction, one should be able to "beam" another Apple iOS user funds from any kind of account on the spot, similar to the Bitcoin Blockchain model, but faster and possibly more securely.

    Will the IRS start to demand records of what the money was exchanged for and with whom??

    I live in a tourist destination and I'm always surprised to see how many iPads being used as cameras.




    They do have that "full size preview" aspect don't they?

    I do not believe so.  Apple is not in the "money exchanging hands" path with Apple Pay.  Apple is providing the authentication, secure storage, facilitating the transaction single use token - and of course working with the different parties (issuing companies, credit card payment networks) to set it all up.  But if you pay with your Visa card, Apple is not involved in any of the money flow path.  Apple is helping to reduce the fraud rate, through its authentication & secure on-device storage technology & encrypting the information - and for this it gets a small cut of the transaction from the issuer (e.g. bank), as it is providing significant value to that party (and ease of use to the user).

     

    It is apparently possible to use your AppleID as the "card of choice", to enable broader reach at launch for those users with smaller banks/credit unions that will take longer to implement ?Pay on their end, where the majority of work resides.  With this AppleID method, the credit card you have on file with iTunes is used, and Apple facilitates the token receiving component.  However, even here, Apple is not in the money path - that is still just using the card on file - if the user chooses to do so.
