I had a good laugh reading the posts on this.
Had headline been : PayPal joins apple pay and ditches samsung
People would be posting how it's and awesome deal that will revolutionise payments processing....
Paypal teams up with samsung = worst company ever! and here come the flood of hate posts.
iSheep..... What iSheep???
I'm really disappointed that Apple walked away, it's a bit childish to expect another company to work with just you, especially given how heavily apply rely of samsung parts in their devices.
Sorry people , this is your loss. Apple pay is looking more and more like another big feature that never makes it. At least for anyone outside the US, I can't see us getting it for a few years, IF it's successful.

Where do you shop that makes PayPal the "king of payment processing" for you? I do nearly all my shopping online and only once every 5-6 months out of hundreds of transactions do I encounter a vendor that requires utilizing PayPal.
Wow, looks like almost everybody in this thread has no idea what this deal would of meant.
It's absolutely nothing to do with the consumer.
If Apple had included PayPal, it wouldn't have given consumers any more choice.
This is ONLY for App developers to use in their payment API's.
This means if I make an app and want to take payment, and I currently use PayPal to do that on my website, I will have to choose another provider for the app. The list of providers are as follows:
Authorize.Net
Chase Paymentech
CyberSource
First Data
Stripe
TSYS
(havn't heard of any of those? then this deal would of never have concerned you anyway)
This has absolutely no effect on the way the user pays. The user still puts their finger on the Touch ID.
So please, everybody complaining that Apple is taking too much control away from the users and this is only bad for the users - shut up, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Pay Pal sucks. Last month, some ******* in India hacked my password (as there was a lot of hacking into PayPal accounts recently) into my PayPal account and chargedmy account $9 for a freaking T-shirt that was being sent to India. They did manage to credit my account back, but as it stands PAY PAL SUCKS. I don't think it's that secure. At least not as of last month.
I HATE PAY PAL. It's a VERY confusing payment method IMO and they only got to where they are because of eBay, which is owned by the same company.
It will launch just after iTunes Radio
it's not how it works that is the problem in Europe , it's apple pulling its finger out and bringing it over. Don't expect it before iPhone 7 or 8 , if it's successfulIf you had the choice between partnering Samsung and Apple, why on Earth would you choose Samsung?
Customers spend more on Apple devices.
Customers spend more on Apple devices.
Or even: "don't partner with the company that keeps sh*ting on us in all their ads".
What is a creditor or a bank if not just another middle man?
Too many companies, including banks and creditors, are just middle men in the payment processing business. We don't need middle men at all in processing payments between two parties. The digital system should mirror the AFK system perfectly. Digital payments should work just like cash.
True and people who tell them to grow up would probably do the same thing if someone stabbed them in the back. So easy to judge and be hypocritical.
which is only a part of europe.
edit: ok it didnt say anything about europe in that quote..
This has nothing to do with Apple being a brat. It's called conflict of interest. If someone decides to work at Apple, they can't work at Microsoft. Or Gap versus Abercrombie. It sounds childish at first, but if you think about it, it makes sense.
Google doesn't have the reach. The system is too fragmented with only a small percentage of android handsets having NFC capability. What Apple is doing right in this situation is backing it full on with payment partnerships and all new phones and tablets (likely) supporting it. In two years the absolute majority of Apple users will have NFC, which is a much much larger group than all users with Android NFC phones combined. That is why it will be successful.
So somebody hacks PayPal account= PayPal sucks. Someone hacks iCloud account=users fault for weak password choice.
Fear
It may be just me, but I actually like that Apple can still show some old competitive Steve-Jobsian ANGER. I'm glad that even in the kindler, gentler Cook era Apple can still get angry. I'm glad that there are still consequences to crossing Apple. I'm glad that Apple is still willing to be somewhat petty and pull deals just to punish those that deal with their competitors. It's good. It's competitive.
With all the Apple leaks and PR snafus and general niceness lately, maybe this will restore a little much-needed FEAR in those dealing with Apple. Because that fear sprinkled throughout the Apple ecosystem has always greased the wheels of Apple having the leverage, autonomy, and secrecy to deliver greatness to us. Steve knew that.
