Paying with your phone done right
Japan has it like for the last 20 years, hasnt?
I don't understand why there is hype over Apply Pay. People seem to thinks it's something innovative. It isn't.
Why doesn't the article talk about NFC payment options on other platforms to compare features? I've been using NFC payments from my Windows Phone for over a year (and I was late to the game) and I'm certain most Android phones can do it, too. It hasn't failed me yet and I can use it most anywhere there is the option to.
@Tiqila It takes more than just adding NFC to a device to create an experience. Apple added NFC to their device then combined it with software protocols and sold the idea to companies who then advertised the technology.
Yeah NFC was probably dreamt up 40 years ago but the real world application has only came about in the last 3 years with pretty shit attempt much how the dreamcast came about.
