For several years it was rumored that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), prepares the launch of a mobile payment system for iPhone si iPad, and in 2013 we had a first form of such a system, it being implemented through touch ID and being available only for iTunes Store. Now the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), she seems interested to expand its functionality, arranging interviews with various American experts in mobile payment systems, the company trying to find the best people to prepare the market launch of its new system.
Apple has been interviewing senior payments industry executives to push ahead on a plan to build an electronic payments business, according to two people familiar with the process. The company has been meeting with potential applicants for two new positions at Apple focused exclusively on building a business around the hundreds of millions of credit cards it already has on file. The mobile payments area in general is one we've been intrigued with. It was one of the thoughts behind Touch ID [...] it's a big opportunity...
Utilizarea touch ID and a Apple ID to make payments from various stores in the US could be possible in the near future, but all only for digital material or products available in online stores. Apple has avoided offering real mobile payment systems for several years and launched the Passbook application plus the Touch ID system, most likely with the idea of testing their viability, but soon Americans could have a real mobile payment system.
Unfortunately for Romania, the news is not so great, because Apple will not offer us the opportunity to make mobile payments under the same conditions even from our country.
