iOS 11 beta 5 hints Apple Pay may launch in Germany next month
As discovered by developer Philipp Ebener, via Mac Rumors, iOS 11 beta 5 hints Apple could be gearing up for the public launch of Apple Pay in Germany as soon as next month.
When installing the latest iOS 11 beta, Philipp found that his device was showing an Apple Pay splash screen, a screen which usually would let the user register their card and begin using the mobile payment service however, Philipp was unable to register his card suggesting that the feature has been partially enabled ahead of iOS 11’s public launch next month.
Most recently during their Q3 2017 financial earnings Luca Maestri announced Apple Pay is on track to launch in the United Arab Emirates, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden by the end of the year, with Maestri claiming Apple Pay accounts for 90 percent of all mobile transactions around the world.
