Dude, right here with you, what's wrong with just using a card?
Because with my phone, I can pay one-handed. It's always right there in my front pocket, all I have to do is fish it out and bloop. Very much looking forward to it.

You only need one hand for a card, too. The tricky part is getting to your wallet.Because with my phone, I can pay one-handed. It's always right there in my front pocket, all I have to do is fish it out and bloop. Very much looking forward to it.

That is certainly true, with some caveats. I haven't lived in Canada for over 4 years now, but I'd imagine what I was aware of back then still holds true now...Read my previous post above.
Chip and PIN terminals have been in use in Canada for years (and according to Wikipedia, VISA/MC implemented domestic transaction liability shift on 31 March 2011), but all terminals still support magnetic swipes. So, no, they won't be gone within a year or 2 in the US, or anywhere else for that matter.
And NO, not all PIN terminals support NFC; and even if their terminals support NFC, some stores actually disable it.
I've never liked attack ads (like those used in politics) or any kind of promotion that puts down someone else in an attempt to make yourself look better. I actually really didn't like the Mac/PC ads back in the day; I used both and saw merit in both camps and honestly it felt unnecessary and kind of lazy. I'm glad Apple moved away from those (though that was probably due in no small part to them becoming the juggernaut that they are now so they don't feel the need to acknowledge the existence of anyone else) and I'm hoping one day Samsung will too. However, I doubt they will as long as Apple remains top dog.For people getting upset over these ads, just watch some old I'm an PC, I'm a Mac ads by apple.... Samsung is just copying appleand seems we don't always have a sense of humour when we are the target.
It's just an ad... Meh...
Serious question. Does this system generate a new card number every time or is it your cards magnetic strip. I'm not sure about you but Apple pays selling point to me is how it delivers an unique number every time so target doesn't get my bank info and can be hacked again. I like them getting just enough information for the single transaction I'm doing
IMO, the reason I accept the Mac VS PC ads is because they are still not just plain attacking Windows. They express the cons of Windows in a humorous way, while being not necessarily always correct, some of them were accurate and use sarcasm and stuff to not look absolutely evil. That's not the case with Samsung's ads. They literally attack and insult every company around them to praise them. Unless you're some kind of "political sadist", you will not enjoy their ads and if you use any of the products mentioned, you will feel insulted.I've never liked attack ads (like those used in politics) or any kind of promotion that puts down someone else in an attempt to make yourself look better.

This is terrifying to me, though, as a consumer. The entire purpose of Apple Pay was to enable one-time-use token-based transactions to drastically improve security. LoopPay takes the standard (insecure) mag-stripe method and makes it an order of magnitude more insecure - the exact *wrong* direction. You are, quite literally, broadcasting the contents of your magnetic stripe to anyone with a suitably sensitive antenna. Just crazy.
Samsung "It's not a phone, it's a galaxy"
Apple "If it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone"
Samsung's copying Apple so much it's ****ing annoying
Apple took a jab at Samsung. They are giving it back. Samsung marketing lame compared to apple, but really, why do you care? No reason to take it personally.
The only thing that annoyed me about the commercial is that Samsung is basically trying to say that we don't know how to use our own freaking phones. Like that guy said a few pages back, the user had his hands nowhere near the home button.
OS X haters were born alongside Microsoft. iOS haters appeared out of nowhere in the last few years (or at least as far as I can remember), and it was most likely due to false advertising set up by Samsung who explicitly bash the iPhone and thus their followers start bashing the iPhone as well.
But what is the point of hitting a button if the terminal can't accept Apple Pay? It is obviously a card swipe only terminal with no NFC. Do you go holding the button of your phone over terminals with no NFC? They pulled out the phone to pay, and the clerk said no, it is card swipe only. Pretty simple. I think you guys are being overly sensitive they are trying to make Apple users look dumb (and I guess rightfully so based on history).
I do agree the commercial is terrible for showing the differences yes between Apple and Samsung pay technology. But I also think this is just a "preview" commercial. The service isn't even live yet. I assume they will have a longer commercial to explain the service a bit better when it is live.
Both ads are clever and Samsung Pay appears to just work everywhere from everything I've read. Don't know why some are upset that they're getting informed.
Like i said, the only thing that bugged me was the fact that they were making iPhone users look dumb.
I see it differently. The ads are informing users that iPhones don't work with the majority of existing MST terminals so they avoid looking dumb by not trying. I hope you don't feel that way going to school and learning.
Didn't feel any of that from the ads at all. If it wasn't for this thread discussing it all and explaining it all I wouldn't have even realized there were differences. Now take an average consumer who definitely won't have a clue. The ads (well the one particular one behind discussed here) just don't do what they are supposedly supposed to do.I see it differently.

The whole American ad industry relies on talking, sarcasm, and exaggeration. Have you seen ads in let's say Israel or Japan? They are very short, to the point, make sense, and unlike our ads, they are actually interesting to watch and we can understand them very well. This ad is another one of those silly american ads that you don't understand because it doesn't tell me anything important and just shows me someone paying using their phone, not telling me the difference between the Sammy and the iPhone.Effective ads are generally short and to the point. These clearly accomplished the mission because people saw, it lit up a light bulb, they discuss and learn something new. If they were any longer like a tutorial or explanation it would've failed as ads.
That's the thing, if I saw the ad somewhere I wouldn't have gotten the point and nothing would have prompted me to look anything up. It would have came off as just another ad making fun of Apple users and nothing more (nothing about Samsung Pay working differently would have come off from it).Effective ads are generally short and to the point.
