Isn't it just a way of using your iPhone to make contactless payments with existing NFC terminals?
So anyone with a means of making contactless payments can still do so. The issues android would have with this system is Apple use TouchId which is a very convenient security solution. Although Samsung have introduced finger scanning, it is not as easy to use, and almost every other android phone does not have a system at all. |

CurrentC sounds like a very backwards sounding system in turns of functionality.

This year? Chicago, Washington DC and Orlando. There are some contactless terminals but I would not describe it as widespread.
Never been to Hicksville, but have been to Huntsville a number of times. |

Yep. But it costs the companies far less to use apparently. Apple pay looks to be aimed at making customers life easy and making apple a shed load of money. Its not good for vendors though.....
I think the most interesting story to come out of the ApplePay function is the vendors future attempts to remove the credit/debit companies out of the loop. Interesting group of people for the vendors to attempt to upset

They don't even have Chip and Pin so it doesn't surprise me.
I'd say we're further behind in contactless payments though? |

Any NFC terminal will accept Google Wallet & Apple Pay... if you can use a wireless payment card, you can use your iPhone with Apple Pay.. So no bespoke iPay terminals needed. McDonalds etc are just making theirs Apple friendly i.e. gives user confirmation in an Apple approved way LOL

I assume there isn't a lot to it, as I hear a lot abut how NFC has been around for ages, and Apple don't innovate etc. |

CurrentC has been hacked and tester info stolen. The CurrentC hacking attack may have been carried out by one of these outraged Apple or Android fans – MCX isn’t giving any more details as yet. Alternatively, it could stem from someone eager to find out more about the security systems CurrentC uses.
The CurrentC system uses QR codes scanned by the purchaser for payments, and links directly into the user's bank account or credit card. That's good news for retailers, but would also seem to make the system a prime target for financially motivated hackers. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10...r_info_stolen/ |

Surely it depends if the hardware is bespoke to the apple pay process or whether it will handle other NFC calls. (I don't know the answer to that).

Sounds like you don't think much of it - does that make you some sort of Apple fanatic?

Yawn. This thread is evolving into a bunch of Willy wavers.
