What You Should Know About Apple Pay as Release Date Approaches
First off, Apple Pay will be supported by more than 200,000 stores across several retailers, including Panera Bread and Walgreens, both of whom had training literature leaked out in the past, with Apple Pay release dates included on there. Aside from those merchants, Apple Pay is also supported by Chevron, McDonald's, RadioShack, and Apple itself, as well as card issuers Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
As Apple Pay makes use of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus' NFC support, all you'll have to do is to hold your device next to a register, hit the Home button, and wait until you hear the beep to confirm that the transaction has gone through. But if you're planning to buy the iPad Air 2 once it comes out, you'll only be limited to in-app purchases, as the tablet doesn't come with NFC. Owners of Apple's 2012-13 iPhones - the iPhone 5s, 5c, and iPhone 5 - will have to wait until the Apple Watch gets released, as the only way to use Apple Pay on those phones is to pair it with the company's upcoming smartwatch.
Device users with concerns about Apple Pay's safety can rest easy, as the person at the cashier won't be able to view your personal information, as all you have to do is to tap on Home once you've placed your iPhone 6/6 Plus once you're near a cash register. Also, the fact that you won't have to swipe your credit or debit card at the register keeps your data safe and secure in the event of a hack.
