Je nach Geschäft und Zahlungsbetrag</a> müssen Sie möglicherweise einen Beleg unterschreiben oder Ihre PIN eingeben.
Für die Verwendung von Apple Pay Cash ist keine PIN erforderlich.
Stattdessen werden Zahlungen per Face ID, Touch ID oder sicherem Code authentifiziert.
Bei manchen Terminals muss dennoch eine PIN eingegeben werden, um die Abbuchung zu bestätigen.
Wenn Sie zur Eingabe einer PIN aufgefordert werden, geben Sie einen vierstelligen Code wie 0000 ein.
Ok, so this would be the last and final "proof" of incomingYou can do this, yes. But try this with the Apple Pay Landingpage.
Pay support If you can change

But Brazil -> 1. Announcement and 2. Landingpage
or Italy-> 1. Rumors and 2. Landingpage
check the urls again
So, will Germany be a "tada, here it is out of nowhere" or a "we are proud to announce..." country.

And when you get a real Page insteat of "Page not found", then it is the proof ApplePay will come.
Easy made fake.
Open the swiss page, change in the url "ch" to "de", don't press return. Just click with the mouse somewhere outside the url and tada. It looks like in this picture.
I'm probably going to retire from this thread, start enjoying my boon card in Germany and wait for Girocard to come to Apple Pay with any (trustworthy) bank. Then I'll switch and that'll be that.
I never gamble, but I would be prepared to put money on the fact that Apple Pay won't be introduced before March and the earliest would be an announcement during an event then. On the other hand my thoughts were today, that maybe WWDC would be even better. June (not too late in the year, Sparkasse ramping up their Wallet app) would be a great time to announce a big Apple Pay expansion to several countries, get several thousand people to clap and maybe even find a way to bring Apple Pay Cash to more countries... Who knows!
I'm quite sure it won't just be a silent release during the next couple of weeks..

I just don't like Boon. It's just a creditcard, I can't use it for most of my shopping expenses. Tried it, hardly used it, deleted it.
After reading alot here and on other sites and how "special snowflakes" got done in other countries, my expectation is: WHEN ApplePay start in Germany this year, the best chance will be together with the mobile payment release of Sparkasse.
Two mayor reasons from my point of view:
- the Sparkasse App will only be able to use NFC on Android. I expect they will not lock Apple users out.
- for Apple they have the biggest player right from the start
Maestro/VPay possible. Girocard maybe too, as they are already working with Girocard only NFC solutions. Seen this in Frankfurt many times. With the same restriction like in Italy: You can use these only in your own country with ApplePay. Outside you will need a credit card to use it.
If it will not come around this time, I think the wait will be much longer.
