We can wait for the next week. Apple Pay can lauch without prior notice. I think that Apple told about the Brazil as a country for near future. In my opinion they did not say anything about Germany because the launch can be again postponed. In case of Russia the sitaution was different. Actually the bank itself has a motivation to introduce Apple Pay. Originally it was only supported by one bank. Sberbank pays 0.15% for every transaction. In case of Germany there are still players which will agree with Apple e.g. N26, Comdirect, Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank..
