Apple Pay Cash leverages Discover Network for new virtual debit card
They are seen as normal purchases. You will not pay exorbitant cash advance interest rates if you tie your Apple Pay Cash account to a credit card. You will pay a fairly normal 3% fee.techno said:Are these person to person cash transfers considered a cash advance by the credit card company or a normal purchase?
If you use a debit card instead, there is no 3% fee. This has been covered time and time again in the various discussions about this service, dating back to the original developer beta in June.
For more details, please read the Green Dot Bank fine print.

Apple Park Visitor Center opens, hosts gathering of Cupertino neighbors
Call them up yourself and ask.
I'm guessing there's a good chance they would be open. This location has a retail store. The Christmas-New Years shutdown is for most corporate employees. Retail does not get those days off.

New York City subway will replace MetroCard with Apple Pay tap-to-pay starting in 2018
JR East debuted their contactless IC card called Suica in 2001, the same year Apple unveiled the iPod. Tokyo Metro rolled out their Pasmo card in 2007, the same year Apple unveiled the iPhone.cali said:Wait will the knockoffs piggy back Apple’s hard work or not?
Contactless payment methods have been around for a looong time.
I think NTT DoCoMo started putting the Suica IC chip in some of their phones around 2005, so Tokyo commuters were swiping their phones at train fare gates and convenience stores before there were iPhones.
Apple is not the innovators in the contactless payment system world.

Latest Apple Park drone video shows completed Steve Jobs Theater ahead of Sept. 12 event
Another option is for Apple to cordon off the underground exhibit space before the event. Product displays can be draped with black cloth or the entire area can be shielded by a fabric wall. The two staircases from the lobby run along the perimeter of the underground exhibit area, it would be easy enough to bar access to that area before the event.Soli said:I wonder if they above ground area would be a good place for showcasing new products. Events typically start at 10am and so there would be plenty of natural light from 360° shortly after noon to make products in the cases glow. However, these plans only show that as Lobby, not an Exhibition area.
They aren't required to make it one or the other, and it's clearly going to be the primary lobby before the event, but I suspect downstairs may be too. The temporary storage area is probably where the tables or cases with products will be stored and then set up during the show so the media can see it immediately afterwards.
Perhaps controlling the light downstairs is the better option, and taking items up those two elevators may be be cumbersome since they aren't the large service elevators that located behind the stage. In fact, their circle design makes me assume they are glass. Also not the locations of the bathrooms with their dual access from the exhibit space and the auditorium, with what I assume will be an easy method for blocking access back into the exhibit area while not removing sufficient exit points in case of an emergency.
In fact, Apple could simply set up the barricade/fence where the dotted line is in the floor plans. That would allow Apple employees in the midst of setup to access the area freely as well as the storage area in the back as well as the meeting rooms ("whisper suites") while still allowing free access by guests to use the twin elevators and restrooms.
From an event management perspective, someone clearly put some thought into the site design. Not so dumb.
