  • Norway gets world's first Apple Pay alternative for iPhone

    The pricing benefit is to the Bank since ApplePay takes a small percentage. But I'm unclear, do these banks allow Apple Pay or are they requiring their service (VIPS).

    I'm more curious what the user sees. Is it like having another card in your wallet, or can you not mix ApplePay and VIPS. Will banks still support ApplePay if they can switch to something that gives them more money. Will users have an option to use ApplePay if all banks move to VIPS?

  • EU will require iMessage, WhatsApp to communicate with smaller messaging services

    phatmatt142phatmatt142
    The idea is ok, but I wonder how it will be implemented. I already get spam in iMessage, and I assume that's the most locked down of the messaging apps.

    Also can I just turn off the cross platform support.

    From the small sample I have of European friends, they all use WhatsApp and don't use iMessage even though they all have iPhones.
