Apple screwed the pooch with iOS 11. Person to person Apple Pay payments and iMessages backed up to iCloud were the two best features of 11, and both have been delayed. Really frustrating.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Pay Cash Coming in Future Update to iOS 11 and watchOS 4

A few weeks ago, someone debated me over this Apple Pay option in iMessages being part of the initial iOS 11 release. I suggested they were wrong given that it's not in any of the beta builds for widespread testing. Their only response was "but Apple announced it would be" 
This will be a nice option, but with the other multi platform apps out there and it being only iOS its a bit of a "they really invested all the dev time and money in this?" question.
In the U.S., the banks just released their own instant cash transfer (no cost) app for iOS and Android: https://www.zellepay.com/

What's with announcing features and then delaying them until X.1 or X.2? Apple never used to do that in the past but the last couple of years Apple seems to slip up and miss key features announced at WWDC and ends up having to slip them in months after initial release...
only for credit card transactions... which is not bad. A lot of company are doing the same thing.
there's some fees for that type of transactions... someone has to pay for this... Apple will never "pay" you to transfer money.
Buying beer is probably the healthier choice vs. the grocery store ramen packs.
Does anyone know the transfer limits for this? Could be really useful, and I'm a little disappointed that it's not available at launch because I was planning on using it immediately. I noticed it wasn't in the GM, but wondered if it would pop onto my iPhone once it went live to everyone since it's sort of an iMessage app.
It's very common. Unless my friends all had an iPhone and were savvy w/ Apple Pay, why would we switch? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Put me on the list for one of those black bubble pennies! Only 99,899 pennies left...I’ve gotta pay for the iPhone X somehow
The initial sync could be troublesome but subsequent ones would be a non-issue unless one has TONS of pictures/images sent to/from their device on a daily basis. Plain text messages use next to no 'power'.
Probably because it involves people's money, access to their credit cards, and sending money around. Apple can delay this for as long as necessary in order to make sure it's done right and more importantly, securely !
I'll keep using my Square Cash, where not only I can use Apple Pay (and directly take out of my bank account with a fingerprint) but I get a physical card
I will ditch Square Cash if I can get a physical Apple Pay Cash card
hell even Target doesn't support Apple Pay (= huge!!!)

Are you saying while we wait for Apple Pay Cash, or are you saying you'll keep using Venmo even after Apple Pay Cash is available?
Wow. Ramen inflation must be rampant. I got 6 to 9 packages for $1 when I went to college. $20 would have kept me in noddles for a semester!
You made me laugh hard. Is there a fee? Really? You think it's free? Why do you think everyone wants into the payment game?
iMessage iCloud Sync
Apple Pay Cash
The two most important and best features to me... Are delayed. Lol of course...

This is one area where I'll be keen to see how Face ID works. What if I'm just looking to make sure I've done it right and then it authenticates? I can't be the only person who has thought you should stick out your tongue to confirm payment?
On a related note, used Touch ID for the first time on a website a couple of weeks ago, was simply brilliant - didn't need to fill in any credit card, address/delivery details or create a log in. Just selected something, went to the basket and selected pay by Touch ID (MBP) - done. That's the Apple 'slickness' I love.

Zelle is instantaneous and already supported by all major banks in the USA.
Glad to see that my statement asking for confirmation made you laugh hard. I guess it's about as comical as your reading comprehension. I never said that I think it's free.
For some reason everything after the clip didn't show up on mobile. It does on desktop. I see it now.
What is the definition of a credit card? I have a CC that says Visa that I can use as either a debit or credit. It accesses a checking account and it doesn't actually charge anything, I have to have the money in the account.
Since it says Visa would I be charged a fee?
