Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is trying to improve Apple Pay’s popularity if you take a page beyond PayPal’s playbook. , September 13, 2016, Apple updated its os’s so enable Apple Pay users pays online.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To use the service consumers will have to get the Apple Pay button on a website.
Mac desktop and laptop users will need to authenticate all purchases; which has a finger print scan with an iPhone, or even a double talk about a Mac Watch. This means Mac users having an Android phone is going to be at a complete loss.
Users can also get to complete their shopping in Apple’s Safari browser. Computerworld reported the next Mac Os; Sierra, enables visitors to pay with Apple Pay with out a finger marks scan – as long as they login via an iCloud account. Since Sierra isn’t yet available, it looks as though Mac users might have to buy an iPhone to look shopping on the web.
Or they are able to exclusively use PayPal; which doesn’t require a fingerprint, or their charge card. One must wonder why anybody would work with Apple’s payment solution.
Another major drawback is that many major websites; like the biggest name in US online retail Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), still don’t take Apple Pay. Also refusing to adopt Apple Pay is the second largest online general merchandise retailer in the United States: Walmart.com. Since both Walmart and Amazon are pushing their unique payment solutions it can be unlikely that either of these can get on the Apple Pay bandwagon anytime soon.
Venmo Meet Siri
It seems to be if Apple Pay is not an serious threat to PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). Instead PayPal is actually expanding to Apple; its’ Venmo money-transfer app is integrated with iOS 10.
That means Venmo users can send money using Siri and iMessage, Venmo’s blog claimed. A Venmo user may also say hey Siri send Joe $30 and will also happen.
It seems to be if PayPal and never Apple would be the desolate man web social networking payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to stay a market product. One has to ponder whether which means PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
Apple Pay Visiting Japan, Russia and New Zealand
It seems to be if there may be a more impressive niche for Apple Pay outside of the US compared to its home country. A theory Tim Cook usually agree with; Fortune reported that Apple has intends to roll Apple Fork out in Japan, Russia and New Zealand this fall.
