The best part is when a place has contactless readers but just won't accept ApplePay because reasons (see: CVS).
CVS won't even take contactless cards

I've only used Apple Pay a couple of times, none of the closest places take it.

Which is comical because the readers are clearly able to read ApplePay enough to say it doesn't take it. But don't worry guys, I'm sure their lovely proprietary app will work out for them!

Just went through all my apps, and even more of them have force touch short cuts. It's like Christmas!

App store down for anyone else? Both iphone and ipad can't update apps. Press "update all", the spinners spool up, then revert back to "update" buttons. Been like that for about 20 minutes now.

I'm trying to log into Apple Music on my work computer and it's just giving me a generic error, so maybe :shrug:

I love these status pages that a lot of companies are putting up, I just wish their software was smart enough to check the status page when it was having issues and give you a little notification when there's something noteworthy.

Instead of "derrrrrp check your internet connection." :downs:

Note that Apple's status site is manually updated, so it's not always accurate.

More to the point, it worked at CVS until they and Rite Aid disabled it shortly after Apple Pay's launch (though Rite Aid has since started accepting it again).

Wasn't CurrentC supposed to be launched in "3Q15" which ended 2 weeks ago?

I wish I could use NFC to transfer photos from my camera to my phone, but it seems Apple only allows NFC for payments. Is this likely to stay locked down? Not a big deal but it's a pain to transfer photos when I'm travelling without a computer.

It's even more comical because they disabled the readers altogether. They don't take contactless anything, which makes upgrading to POS units with readers worthless.

Probably. They might enable it for iOS X, but who knows.

Apple doesn't really do NFC, their implementation is AirDrop which is similar in use but not identical in implementation.

Which means using it with any non-Apple hardware is a pipe dream.

Your only real option is to get one of the wi-fi enabled SD cards that are out there like the eyefi. They have iOS apps to pull in photos.

NFC's bitrate doesn't really support applications like that. Get a camera with Wi-Fi support next time, I guess.

AirDrop uses Bluetooth to set up an ad-hoc WiFi connection, which then does the heavy lifting of transferring data at a decent rate, unlike Bluetooth or NFC.

It seems all of their login servers have. App store on OS X keeps bouncing me out from doing updates as well, even though it's showing up as working on the status page.

iTunes keeps reminding me every 10 seconds with a super obnoxious pop up that it can't access iCloud Music, even when I'm not playing music and all the music is actually on my HDD currently.

E: Seems sorted now.

Going back a bit, the popup asking for a pass code reset is a known bug with ios 9 that doesn't seem to affect many people.

It does have wifi but I'm just being lazy, setting up the wifi network is one of those minor annoyances I hoped would go away with newer phone tech.

I remember upgrading from an Evo 3D to a one or two year old 4S and even then it was so snappy compared to that old piece of crap. How did you manage for so long?

So I just saw some commercial for Samsung Pay and it showed how you just put your phone near the credit card machine and it Just Works. Then they showed an iPhone and it didn't work and the person waved the phone around like an idiot and nothing happened.


What could Samsung possibility be doing that Apple isn't? I mean NFC is NFC right?

Samsung bought LoopPay, which "broadcasts" a magnetic field that the read head in the credit card terminal picks up. As far as the terminal knows, you physically swiped a card.
