Apple Pay review, While Apple enthusiasts may often find their wallets emptying out with each new product announcement, wallets may literally start slimming down, thanks to Apple's recently announced iOS feature, Apple Pay. Apple Pay also lets users make one-tap purchases within apps that have adopted the Apple Pay API. Devices capable of using Apple Pay within iOS apps include the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus, the iPad Air 2, and the iPad mini 3 and requires upgrading to iOS 8.1. Apple also secures payments using Touch ID in the iPhone 6 and skin contact with the Apple Watch, Both Touch ID and the skin contact authentication method in the Apple Watch will prevent someone who has stolen an iPhone or Apple Watch from making an unauthorized payment. With the service, users can add credit cards that are already on file with their iTunes accounts and upload new cards to store on their iPhones. These cards will be amalgamated into PassBook, an existing iOS app that incorporate user's coupon, ticket passes and membership cards.
“Apple Pay is going to be huge,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said last week. Apple Pay is the best thing Apple’s done in years and forever change the way all of us buy things.
Apple has placed a heavy emphasis on security when advertising Apple Pay, to assure iPhone owners that their payment information is safe, and, in fact, safer on an iPhone than inside of a wallet. According to former credit card executive Tom Noyes, the way Apple Pay has been designed to work makes it "the most secure payments scheme on the planet." because Apple Pay works by sending payment information via short-range radio waves. Apple's TouchID system is known to reject an iPhone owner's stored fingerprint. It cuts retailers out of the credit card information loop. Apple Pay and other mobile payments systems never give shops your credit card information, because your smartphone never keeps it in the first place.

To add your card to Apple Pay, you snap a photo of it. At checkout, the key generates a one-time-use, unique code not your credit card information. Apple and other mobile wallet companies never get any information about your transactions. That successfully strangled off the black market for credit cards, said Aberman Rich, cofounder of safe payments tech startup WePay. "Apple is trying to kill the market for plastic cards," Oxman said.
Right now, Apple Pay works only with cards issued by Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan, Chase, CapOne, Merrill Lynch, U.S. Trust, and Wells Fargo and Apple Pay works with American Express and Visa, MasterCard but so far, it doesn’t work with corporate cards (those issued by your employer) or prepaid cards
