Almost a year ago our colleague Jordi Giménez explained to us how close Apple was to implementing its mobile payment methods, Apple Pay, in Germany. Now, a year later and after many rumors, it was Tim Cook himself who presented the financial results for the third quarter of 20918 has confirmed that Apple Pay will arrive in Germany at the end of 2018. .
Undoubtedly this is weighty news and it is that although we believed that Germany was going to be one of the first European countries to enjoy the Apple Pay payment services, things have been very different and that is that Spain has even been first for Apple regarding the implementation of the same. One of the things that we have to be clear about is that Apple does not deploy Apple Pay until it has reached the appropriate negotiations with the country itself as well as with the existing banking entities in it.
Nothing is known about when will be the moment chosen by Apple to finally put Apple Pay into operation in Germany, but rumors suggest that it will be during the presentation of iOS 12. In September, new products from the company with the bitten apple are expected. in addition to the arrival of new functionalities in iOS 12 that will surely launch some time after the arrival of the new iPhone.
This news has transpired because the CEO of Apple Tim Cook, in the presentation of the financial results of the third quarter of 2018 began to talk about the financial results that Apple Pay is having. According to Cook, in this period there were more than one billion transactions on the platform, triple the total of the previous year, and growth accelerated from the March quarter. To this we can add that the operations carried out with Apple Pay have also surpassed those carried out with PayPal, a fact that is worth noting.
Finally, to inform that Apple plans to launch the Apple Pay payment method in pharmacies and 7-11 stores in the United States before the end of 2018. If you want to know more about Apple Pay in Spain you can go to the Apple's own website.
