Apple, the global computers giant, just released to the North American market its innovative mobile payments system, Apple Pay, through which the iPhone will work as a mobile wallet.
This system is activated in the iPhones 6 and iPhones 6 Plus, which are the newest models, and also in the iPads Air 2 and iPads mini 3, but in these tablets only to make purchases online.
The Apple representatives say that users will have an easiest and more secure and private way of paying with this new system, because the payment is made through the fingerprint, which is captured by the Touch ID sensor. Simply by approaching the iPhone to the contactless reader and you put your finger on the sensor and ready!
Besides its speed, for many customers security is the best element of this system because the privacy of cards is protected due to its number is not shared with the online merchandiser.
More than 30 product and service stores in the USA have been added to this new system, since the beginning. However, it´s expected that many more stores be incorporated to this revolutionary change. Up to now, Bank of America, Capital One Bank, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and American Express have adopted this service, but an estimate of 500 more banks will join soon.
Obviusly it is expected that Apple Pay helps to sell the Apple products, a company whose participation in the global market descended to 11.7% during the second quarter of this year, in comparison to 13% during the same period in 2013.
