Apple Pay Cash Now Available for iOS 11.2 Users

It's 2017. You should expect better.

Because 2017 somehow has changed the rate at which worldwide servers propagate and these same machines handle wild swings in workloads? I suppose you forgot about the past many iPhone launch day outages due to overloads?

Give it a second and the toggle will disappear.

oh crap.

Square Cash actually lets you choose if you want money to go directly to your bank account or keep it in your Cash account. And they have a virtual card that you can add to Apple Pay to make purchases with. And their virtual card is a Visa, which already has more acceptance than Apple's being a Discover card.

Yes, and this is a relatively new feature. When Square Cash launched, the only option is direct transfer to bank. I believe this is still the default option.

Yes, actually, it has. Global bandwidth and computing power - a substantial amount of which Apple owns - has increased over time if you haven't noticed.

The ones in the past? Yes, absolutely. More recently, the failures have been in Apple opening the store for some folks after the launch inventory was exhausted - which shows ONCE AGAIN that Apple does understand - somehow - how to do slow roll-outs in every context other than this one.

Lol I tried to enable it, then got denied, then it disappeared in settings....by the way....Apple’s website still lists no launch day for Apple Pay cash

How is paying someone you know money you owe them more easily "throwing money away?" And since in most cases this costs nothing, how is handing over cash better and more convenient unless you happen to have the exact amount you owe?

It’s the middle-men. Sending money via Apple Pay incurs costs on the person sending the money just like a pre-paid card. That’s throwing away money for convenience. And if I owe someone money, why would I give them a pre-paid card? I would tell them I’d pay them tomorrow and get the cash for them tomorrow. If someone I would borrow from wouldn’t trust me at my word I wouldn’t borrow from them.

So now this has been reduced to a game of peek-a-boo.

Anyone still willing to say that this is a good customer experience?

 

[Acerone]

Saying unavailable for my X in NYC.

Reboot and try again.

 

[hubieonekanubie]

Reboot and try again.

I just did and thought I still have the toggle, it says services not available after I input my Apple ID password. Oh well.

There aren't any fees if sent from a debit card/bank account. The only time fees are incurred is if you are using a credit card.

There is no cost to send money via Apple Pay Cash unless it's with a credit card. Just like all over peer to peer payment services.

Not available even after a reboot in Connecticut.

 

[oneteam]

No dice for me in Cincinnati on an iPad Pro.

I dont see any toggles anywhere. No sign of it on my phone.

What’s happened to patience? As far as I know has Apple officially released a statement that “it’s now available” or are all of us just yet again going haywire bc Mac rumors or Apple insider says so. ?

 

[applesith]

Reboot and try again.

I did

You obviously don't understand the difference between a debit card and a credit card. You also obviously don't know how this works.

I'm wearing blue jeans and not available for me either.

Which wash? Are they 100% cotton? Are there any frays/tears in yours?

 

[TheWatchfulOne]

It's 2017. You should expect better.

It's the Internet. The Internet is slow and fragile. The fact that it's 2017 has nothing to do with it.

 

[pnoyblazed]

Works for me. Linked my debit card. NYC here

 

[Dirtydutch]

Funny I got the 'unavailable' message earlier when I toggled it on, now the toggle is completely missing after a restart. Must have had some issues on the rollout for some users...
