    Um so Apple is the leader in mobile pay not Starbucks. I cant use my Starbucks app to pay at my drug store or any other store other than Starbucks. This is kinda of a stupid comparison, no?
    There can be multiple ways of defining the "leader."  This article is comparing active users, saying there are more active users of Starbucks payment app than Apple Pay.  This is remarkable considering Starbucks app can only be used at Starbucks stores while Apple Pay is accepted at a gazillion locations.

    Personally, I have only used Apple Pay once in the last 12 month, and that too at the insistence of the checkout guy at Apple Store.  I get no extra benefit by using Apple Pay over my credit card, while with Starbucks app I get to skip the wait, earn free drinks, etc.
    Well if you don’t understand the security benefits of Apple Pay versus regular credit card, of course you won’t used it.
