I JUST thought of this...and haven't read anything about this potential issue anywhere. Won't you need an Internet connection at the time of the transaction in order to use Apple Pay??? That could be an issue for some business locations right...
I don't see why you would need an Internet connection. The phone has in it the tokens representing each of your cards, with one selected as the default method of payment. When you reach the register, you turn on your phone, on the lock screen it shows the default card. If you want to use another, there will likely be a means to jump directly to Passbook to allow you to select the card you wish to use. Regardless, once you have selected the card to apply the charge to, you hold the phone near the NFC reader and touch the Phone's home button to verify your identity. The NFC scanner and back end systems in the store do the rest. No Internet connection to the phone required for any part of this process.
Same with the Apple Watch when it becomes available. It will use Blue Tooth Low Energy to connect to the iPhone in your pocket if need be and NFC to communicate with the NFC card reader at the register. No Internet connection to either device needed.
Apple does so many things right, but they tarnish it with these horrible product launches. Their market research must have led them to believe the demand would be overwhelming, but ya gotta think they don't mind much if there is just this one day debacle once a year.... as folks will wait & order their iPhones regardless. I guess it's good PR that their products are so popular that the folks will do whatever to get their hands on them (like I did getting up at 2:55am), LOL
I wonder if iPhone addict is more addicted to his drug than a crack addict?

So many idiots who know nothing and so little time to enlighten them
I feel for the poor bastards tearing their hair out. I would have preferred them all to be able to order iPhones immediately. What with the Keynote freezefest plus this, it's a bit of a two-blipper for Apple. What will the third mishap be?
Needless to say, a little patience would have gone a long way in preserving their sanity; waiting a few days is no great hardship.
As a shareholder, however, monumental demand is good news. Sounds as though the Plus is selling the most, also good being the most expensive. It seems to be the most in demand in the UK Store.

No. Chance. Whatsoever.
A. ????. Shame.
Edit. Then again, it's usually 10% or 15%

I'm refreshing like fucking crazy..nothing yet.
I prefer my refreshing to be somewhat more relaxing.
Dear Apple,
I woke up drunk and have to go to work in 6 hours. Let's move it along, please.
You have to be drunk to go to work ...
Where can I get an application?
The Drunk Nude Celebrity Hotline.
Hey guys ...
It's tomorrow ...
No, it's today.
Mmm ... I'm learning how to say WTF in multiple languages -- col!
My swearing's not good in foreign.
Que le sex?
That's 3 different languages in a 3 word sentence. Spanish, French, and English. ????

Here ya' go for starters: Mierda, Scheise and Merde!
To answer your specific pregunta -- the verb is chengar.
Thanks! I knew Scheise and Merde, but not Mierda.
