With Apple Pay, iPhone and Apple Watch can replace debit or credit cards. Simply holding the device up to the terminal initiates the payment process.
It came as a surprise. On July 31, Tim Cook announced the end of the wait with the words "Apple Pay is launching in Germany later this year". The community was over the moon - Apple Pay will be launched in Germany this year. However, no date for the market launch was given. Speculation suggested it would be in the fall.
Apple updates support document
Apple has now expanded a German support document on the subject. It explains how Apple Pay Cash works and what the requirements are. As a result, the German launch could be imminent. It is also conceivable that Apple Pay Cash will be introduced in Germany at the same time as Apple Pay. It remains exciting.
What is Apple Pay Cash?
The service was introduced in the US in December last year. Apple Pay Cash allows users to transfer and receive money between each other via iMessage. Apple Pay serves as the basis for this function.
