This new mobile payment system was introduced in Apple Keynote last month, but without giving an exact date, so we like to surprise now be declared permanently for release on October 20, yes, in just few hours.
This announcement was made during the presentaciónque did Tim Cook in Cupertino, California, in the United States, place and occasion that was used to present equally long-awaited new models of iPad and iPad Mini, which leaked a few days ago.
Pay Apple Backup
The new mobile payment system from Apple takes the minimalist name Apple Pay, which in its initiated much with the support of 500 banks, who have come to Apple since he announced in September in order to be able to offer this service set from next Monday 20 October.
This date is only announced for the territory of the United States, so no start date in other territories yet known, but is expected to be soon, perhaps before year end.
Apple states that their service can be used in over 220 thousand locations around the United States, within which are McDonald's, Aéropostale, Macy's and Bloomingdales, among many others, which are already listed and expected to be added to the list yet, within which the most important is Disney Store.
Home is a small figure, but as is common this is going to become enlarging received a complete, or at least this is what the master plan raises Apple.
This payment system is to compete against the payment system posed Plastc cover, which has many similarities, but also have differences in details that may make them able to coexist.
How does Apple Pay
The mobile payment system from Apple can be used on Apple devices like the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and early next year 2015 will be received at the Apple Watch, Air iPad 2 and iPad Mini 3.
Poses to make purchases with a single touch, using Near Faithful Communication technology, this in conjunction with Touch ID and Passbook, who together can provide a fairly robust system use.
Here you can enter the cards and accounts that have, such as debit, credit, and some which will join over.
With this you can choose which card to use and make the charge to it, so in that just put the index finger, the transaction is allowed, since it is based on fingerprint recognition.
The iPhone must be placed towards the end of the establishment, and place your finger, so you can pay it without even looking at the screen, and will automatically charge.
Apple Pay will be included in the new iOS 8.1, which was also announced at the Keynote last month.
How safe is to use this system?
In the field of security, Apple has had some conflicts with the leaks that there was data in iCloud, which now cause echo in this payment system, but Apple ensures that no user data, bank account numbers, among a huge etc., will be stored in any way by them. So there is no risk that these seep and being misused by third parties.
To know how good or bad is this service obviously have to use it, since we already know how advertising works, some things are true and some not so, and in a matter of planning there are things that even the best efforts put, end up go wrong.
