Apple is working on services that will allow you to receive direct payments through your iPhone, according to a new report from Mark Gurman in Bloomberg. Sumber Gurman said that the technology giant had worked on features since 2020, when buying Mobeewave, Canadian startup behind new technology for smartphones that allow them to receive payments without contact credit cards.
Gurman reports that the payment system might depend on the field communication chip near the iPhone (NFC). The iPhone has used the NFC chip to process payments using Pay Apple, so it makes sense to build use with new services.
At present, users receive payments through their iPhones must depend on third-party hardware from companies such as boxes. However, with this new technology, businesses will be able to receive card payments by only letting customers knock on their cards against their iPhone. This is an interesting concept, and who can change the world of handheld sales in his head depends on how Apple pushes it.
While Apple did not distribute real details about the plan, or indeed official news at all, it was something to be monitored. In addition, Gurman said that technology can debut later this year, along with several other announcements that people expect from Apple. The head between other announcements is the new iPhone SE model, as well as an iPad air that offers 5G connectivity. Gurman said the devices were expected to debut in March or April, and we have seen previous reports about new Macs that use Apple’s specially made processors too.
Apple pushes to receive direct payments on the device not completely surprising. The company has slowly expanded the payment options in the past, with the launch of Apple cards, and the urge to get Apple payments in more stores throughout the world. The company also launched the Apple Cash Card, which allows you to send payments directly peer-to-peer, similar to services such as Paypal or Venmo. All we need to do now is waiting and see how Apple encourages this new service, and exactly what it means for the current payment provider like a box.
