1 million cards
spending $10 each
thats $1500 in apples bank account. not bad.
this will be VERY HANDY...when you forget your cards....am i right?
CVS cares about 1 thing PRESCRIPTIONS.
If you want to hurt CVS this is where it's done,not the redbull and bag of chips up front.
EDIT..also 2 to 3 years is so long away so much will change by then,i'm hoping by this time next year at the latest they turn around. They also have some of the best NFC readers around lol, theirs works flawless.
Cook is right.
Resistance is futile.
You will be assimilated![]()
i have 3 cards but only activated 1 onI think 1 million is a lot less than what I expected.
I mean think of how many people bought iPhone 6 and 6+.
Apple even had more than couple millions of preorder within 24hr. That's a quite disappointing result when we factor in that each person who used ApplePay probably activated more than 1 card.(3cards for me)
it does viaIf only this worked with iPhone 5S, they would have had 50M!
I've spent around 150 bucks over Applepay since getting it activated.
Not a lot, but when you consider the fact that I plan to use this service for years, and will use it for all my online transactions as I can to distance myself from PayPal...
On a long enough timeline, this could add hundreds of millions / billions of dollars annually to apple's coffers.
"You're no longer fishing for your credit card," he said.
All Apple pay needs is the big grocery stores and pay at pump (no more zip code crap). That's really where most $ is spent.
1 million potential customers for RiteAid and CVS! Oh wait...
And that's only with banks that have activated their service.. Many more to come
Apple Pay accounts for more mobile wallets in the U.S, than all other mobile payment options combined.
I agree but in the UK petrol stations don't allow you to use mobile phones at the pumps (risk of explosion... It's never happened as far as I know!) but you still get shouted at over the tannoy by the staff!
They don't care NOW, but they will in 2-3 years when the majority of iPhones in the wild will have NFC and the service is rolled out more widely in the US.
People tend to look only at the here and now, but fail to look where this is going. It is a short sighted move by CVS and they will reverse their decision.
Next, personally, I'm not going to boycott any store just because they don't accept Apple Pay. That is totally irrational. I don't believe I'm alone. Only the most ardent Apple zealot would change buying habits on this issue alone.
You are over generalizing and incorrect in your assumptions. First, the reason many are boycotting is because Rite Aid and CVS have the technology and they turned it off. And the system they turned it off in favor of (bad grammar) isn't even available yet! It was a ******* move and it pissed off some very loyal customers - both iOS and Android users.
I'm moving over to Walgreens because of this. But, I will continue to shop at Publix, even though they are a CurrentC supporter, because they haven't done anything to piss me off (I've shopped there at the same store for almost 30 years). If they do something that is anti-customer, then I will make a different decision.
Does this ask you which card you want to use at the point of sale?
I wonder how many of those were cards from the same person, though. I'd be interested to see how many *people* added cards.
Just 1. It was all Tim Cook.I wonder how many of those were cards from the same person, though. I'd be interested to see how many *people* added cards.
