Mobile wallet wars: Apple Pay vs Samsung Pay vs Android Pay
I know I write about Apple Pay quite often, but was surprised to hear that one of my colleagues recently purchased an iMac in the Apple Store using his Apple Watch and Apple Pay. Yes, he’s an Apple guy, but really? A £1,000 purchase with a fingerprint? I thought, as do most, that you could only make small transactions using contactless payments. In the UK under £20 (£30 from September 1) and in the USA under $25. But it is not the case at all.
