And Chase MasterCards still don't work.
I called them up and asked them to switch my account to Visa's. They sent me two new cards, now ApplePay enabled.
iPhone 6+ here .... got it for the battery/camera and figured the size is something I probably can live with (and if not return the phone for the smaller). Having it used now for many many weeks I must say I love the giant screen, my wife's 5s feels 'tiny' and 'unreadable' now - didn't expect this, but the size turned out to be a great feature (luckily my pockets are big enough)
And Chase MasterCards still don't work.
Chase is phasing out all MasterCards.
Call them to switch to Visa.
It seems Chase is getting out of Mastercard for most of their cards. They recently switched my "Sapphire Preferred" Mastercard into a Visa.And Chase MasterCards still don't work.
And Chase MasterCards still don't work.
Even worse, considering the subject, is that Chase Small Business Visa cards (Ink) don't work with Apple Pay either.
Give it 6m.
and apple pay will fade in the usa. its a shame but the most likely outcome
NFC might not ever become as popular as in other countries, but that doesn't mean it's not going to catch on.
I'd still take this guy's music over U2 and David Guetta combined!

True. But at this pace, I think we're 5-10 years away from widespread NFC adoption including Apple Pay in the USA. Apple did have the ability to push a mobile payment system mainstream in a much shorter time period, but with many greedy companies and their partners jumping in with their own convoluted systems, this has all gotten much murkier for the average consumer. Basically nobody wins here in the states.

There is no getting used to it. Even the 5s is too big for me to carry all the time. When I'm working, I carry a flip phone because I can put it in my pocket and it mostly gets out of my way. Not everyone sits behind a desk surfing the internet all day.
I just need a small and rugged phone and it would be great if I could get that from Apple.
But you have to understand your needs are tiny fraction of the consumer market and Apple will always market to the masses so you are probably going to have to buy a different brand phone.
Chase is clueless about the consumer end of things
Chase seems to be emphasizing their merchant terminals...
In the meantime, their consumer-level (us) Apple Pay integration - and mobile support - basically is so last century. Consider:
My Amex card in Passbook flips to show a list of EVERY Amex transaction for that card, however the transaction was created - Apple Pay or not. And, I can optionally get a pop-up / notification center alert for every charge - which is great when accounts on auto-pay get paid.
Zero integration with my Chase VISA. No transaction list. And, the "Alerts" that you can set up on their web site only arrive by email. No option for text.
Chase need so get a clue more than they need to run an ad.

Apple has sold MILLIONS of phones that are smaller than the 6 and 6+. They are still selling the 5s and 5c so I would say there is still a market for smaller phones.
I would like to use ApplePay, just can't do it with anything other than the huge clown phones apple currently sells. That is short sighted in my opinion. My hope is they will fix that after the holidays are over and the sales of the clown phones slows down.

Rant much?
Apple Pay requires a special chip that the iPhone 5s and lower do not have. But with an Apple watch you will be able to enable Apple Pay. So you can then keep your non-clown iPhone and use Apple Pay.
I have the 6+ and I have no problems with it fitting in my front pocket working a physical and mental job. So whether I'm climbing a ladder or bending conduit I have no issues whatsoever. Saying the 5S is too big is just ridiculous.

The 5s has the secure enclave for Apple pay via 64 bit A7 chip. It is scheduled to be released on iOS 8.2 but must be used with the Apple watch
I successfully used Apple Pay at Home Depot here in San Antonio, TX last week. Home Depot is not an official Apple Pay partner but it still works regardless. That is supposedly true for many other unofficial merchants as well.
The 'secure element' for Apple Pay is stored in the NFC chip. The 'secure enclave' on the SOC is for TouchID data. Since the Apple Watch brings Apple pay to both the 5 and 5C, as well as the 5S, the watch itself must contain the 'secure element' for Apple Pay.
Apple Pay is AWESOME... but cant say tge same about this commercial....
Does not do or say anything to me !!

I know all about the NFC chip. It would be nice if Apple included it in a smaller phone. I haven't worn a watch in 30 years and not going to start now, so the iWatch isn't really an option for me. I suppose if the iWatch could make phone calls without needing an iPhone I could carry that ... in my pocket. I used to carry a pocket watch, before cell phones.
Something is wrong
i have read this post from the front page and the two videos are the iphone playing 4k and Siri vs cortina. When I clicked on the post I got the actual videos. Any body else faced the same issue!!?

I am not sure about the slow death part. To me it is more like DOA

It would probably catch on more universally if Apple Pay issuers issued physical NFC credit cards as well. But the first generation of those cards gained such a bad rap that there is no way they're going to issue them again. Apple Pay is most likely our best shot at NFC payments at this point.
