Reminder: Apple Pay Isn’t Coming To Australia Today

If you have Amerifriends with iPhones today, you’re going to be hearing stories of how they went to their favourite stores and bought shiny new things with nothing but their phones. That’s thanks to something called Apple Pay in iOS 8.1. Before you go digging around in your settings to get it for yourself, here’s a quick reminder: it doesn’t work in Australia yet.

That’s right: Aussies have to wait patiently for the Apple-fuelled payments revolution to come to this part of the world.

Apple hasn’t set a date for the arrival of the service, but you can be sure we’ll keep our ear to the ground to find out just when you can get it.

Would you use Apple Pay if you could? Tell us why or why not in the comments!
