Sometimes you sign, sometimes you dip, sometimes you chip. Does that stop you from using a creditcard? Strange reason from stopping Apple Pay.
Looking forward to see this in the Netherlands. Today, however, I would be hungry as I left my iPhone at the charger at home and would not be able to buy my lunch

Because the big players perhaps are not looking for this right now, making Apple reach out to the small one's who think they might benefit from AP.

Yes I know, I remember that in the 90th while e-banking was wide spread, German suppliers would favor a written check over an electronic payment.

What's that "Cash"????

At least people are used to cards and generally know what's going on when you have one in your hand.
Really strange you've only been able to use Apple Pay successfully the once. When the service first launched in July 2015 I had a few issues at first but *touchwood* it's been fine for me since then.
The only exception was the other week on the Underground when I had to perform a soft reset on my iPhone to tap out at the barriers.
I am shocked that it took until post #35 for someone to bring this up. Santander now supports Apple Pay in the UK and Spain, but not the US. It's pretty annoying...
And the lack of privacy and security. Remember, only Apple protects your information from being sucked up into the dark cloud, where it is kept essentially forever and available to hackers, governments, and sold to advertisers.
I know not everyone cares about their privacy and security, but for those who do, Windows 10, like Google/Android is a well documented nightmare. Here are just a few of the countless reviews that spell it out. Just realize what you are giving up. It's like with Apple's HomeKit, yes Amazon and Google made it much easier for companies to have their products compatible, but with the recent revelations that there's no security with their systems, folks have realized how nice it is that Apple's HomeKit has required stringent security built in to be compatible with HK.

You believe this stuff? Windows 10 doesn't take any personal information and Microsoft doesn't look at their users as products.
Step away from the Apple cool-aid and the insane Linux-oids that live for this stuff.
You are so far from reality, I debated whether to respond at all, but to give you just one simple example in Microsoft's own words from their EULA, where they admit that Windows 10 is essentially a key logger:
Microsoft says: "We collect your typed and handwritten words to improve character recognition and provide you with a personalized user dictionary and text completion suggestions. Some of this data is stored on your device; some is sent to Microsoft to help improve the services. "
