It's Things like this make me hope for either Bitcoin or something like it to catch on more. In an all-bitcoin transaction, this sort of thing is impossible, because of the way the network is set up...
Man they can't even release this right! And they still kept it back after the 8.0 release. Weak.
When introducing new technology and new systems, it does fall to the vendor of the payment method to assist in getting the implementation to work.
As Apple is the interface in this instance, it was up to them to insure proper interfacing had been implemented. They are the ones who convinced Bank of America to support their service. As such, Apple should have been involved in making sure that everything downstream worked and assured Bank of America that they had properly gotten all the pieces in the process working.
When I had a business accepting credit cards, it fell to that company to come to my location and set everything up for me. If they wanted me to use their service, then they need to set it up.
Apple set up a way to act as a go between for payments. It's up to them to make sure that everything works properly through the entire transaction and to have established the link to Bank of America properly.
As for why it only affected Bank of America, again could be that Apple was a little sloppy in setting up the connection with them.
Yes, Bank of America is refunding the money. Naturally. They're the ones at the end who received the charges. Just because they're at the end of the chain and the ones holding the money, doesn't mean it was their mistakes that caused the problem.

You don't get it. In a forum like this, trolls usually are the ones attacking.
If there's something for some to learn from this thread - it's that some forum "readers" fail to read full articles, do their own research, and are too lazy to read a full thread before immediately clicking "post." There's really no excuse 14+ pages in for people to talk about this as if the glitch was on Apple's side or that it has anything to do with iOS 8.
But I imagine as soon as this post gets buried by another page - someone will still get "mad" at Apple over this. Sometimes it doesn't even take a new page.
The headline surely didn't help, but it is definitely funny to see how many people went berserk on that first page and started foaming at the mouth because they thought apple messed up.
Apple messes up a lot. This wasn't one of those times.
MacRumors is extremely anti-Apple. This headline proves it. It happens time and time again every day.
If MacRumors were even remotely pro-Apple, this headline would be completely different from the start.
But, it's good business to be anti-Apple. Get all the trolls to come and earn page views from them!
Surprise Surprise. BofA charging customers improperly? Say it isn't so!
I don't know, or really care, if this is BofA's fault or Apple's. BofA screwed me over for over $1,200 in fees FOR THEIR MISTAKE.... so any time i even see the words BANK OF AMERICA... I cringe. And therefore, it's their fault in my mind.

But how many people are using it, let alone BOA customers.. That's a lot of people to be affected...
This site is not anti-Apple. This site is a business. And to make money, that requires visitors. The headline wasn't sensationalist. It was provocative. The headline also isn't false. It's leading.
I believe what you are seeing is one email telling you the first one was deleted. Then another email when you add it back with the new virtual number. At least thats how mine has worked.

Come on Apple stop it please. If a new feature, or gimmick isn't quite ready for the real world, just wait until you get it right. If it's a new feature, people aren't going to miss it anyways, as they haven't seen it yet. People are losing confidence in you. Better off making people wait a little longer and release something that really "Just works", rather than creating a big mess.![]()
Precisely?I think your confused.
According to this link:
https://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/information/ncpw/cardstopten.html
5. Your liability for an unauthorized debit card transaction may vary. The maximum legal liability is $50 if you notify the bank within two business days after learning of the loss or theft of your debit card. Otherwise, your losses could be greater. You must also notify your bank within 60 days of your banks transmittal of your periodic statement on which an unauthorized transfer appears, in order to avoid liability for subsequent unauthorized transfers.
It's not automatic in every case. Disputing charges isn't always a slam dunk.
Okey Apple, please make some time for test and quality work. With the banks and every single man that is involved in the system.
