Yeah I think it looks great!
Only problem for me is I have a MBP that is only 6 months old. So this won't be on my shopping list. If that wasn't the case however I would get the new MBP. 

Will this botnet affect smart TVs?
i don't remember any password prompting on my one....

One point of contention is the $80 limit. That is the same limit if someone else had your card and did a contactless payment. 

Surely TouchID is so much more secure than that - why can't that limit be removed? Anyone can shoulder surf and steal a PIN, but no one can easily copy your fingerprints (without movie level theatrics of course).

When they announce things like this I wonder if stores there accept Pay at this point. 

Yeah for us in NZ it isn't an issue. There are thousands of places that accept contactless payments and ApplePay will work on any of those. It seems to be mainly smaller retailers that don't as they don't want to pay the contactless fee. I can understand that, but I'm more likely to shop somewhere else now that does accept ApplePay. 

Good on ANZ for pushing the button and implementing it. I have already activated my cards and it was fast and easy. 

I hope BNZ do it too. Kiwibank would be a great option too but they might have to be pushed by consumers. 

This news had me in a good mood all day yesterday. I expect it will arrive end of October rather than early to mid.
Still, I'm really looking forward to ApplePay.
