I-Australia namhlanje inenkonzo ye-Apple Pay esekwe kwiibhanki ezininzi zeli lizwe, kodwa zine ezi zinto ziphikisana namagatya osetyenziso lwale nkonzo: I-Commonwealth Bank yase-Australia, iWestpac Banking Corporation, i-National Australia Bank kunye ne-Bendigo kunye ne-Adelaide Ibhanki, ethi bayala kwaphela ukunikezela kwimithetho engqongqo yenkonzo yokuhlawula ye-Apple Pay kwaye bafuna ukuba i-NFC ivulwe. Kule meko benze umzobo kwaye bathumela kwi-ACCC uxwebhu olunamaphepha ali-137 ekuthiwa iApple isebenza "ngendlela engalawulekiyo, evaliweyo nelawulwa kakhulu".
Ngokwala oku, into abayifunayo ukuze sonke siyiqonde ngokucacileyo, kukuvumela ukusetyenziswa kwe-NFC yokuhlawula izixhobo ze-Apple kunye nezinye iinkonzo ezinikezelwa ziibhanki ezingadibaniyo kwaphela neApple Pay. Ngokucacileyo le yinto esingakholelwa ukuba iza kwenzeka kuba ngamanye amaxesha inkampani yaseCupertino sele isitsho ukuba i-NFC ngeApple Pay ivaliwe ukukhusela abasebenzisi kwizisongelo zokhuseleko kwaye "Ihardware, isoftware kunye neenkonzo ezinje ngeApple Pay zidityaniswe ngokupheleleyo ukunikezela ngokhuseleko oluphezulu kumsebenzisi."
Olu ngquzulwano ebesetafileni ixesha elide kwaye ngokucacileyo libango labasebenzisi bezi zinto zebhanki ukuba bakwazi ukukhetha ukuba basebenzise iApple Pay okanye bayayisebenzisa, kuba kule meko abanalo elo thuba kwaye ke iibhanki zixinana nenkampani kaTim Cook, ngolu hlobo lokujongana oluye lwabakhokelela kwi I-ACCC (Ukhuphiswano lwase-Australia kunye neKhomishini yabathengi) ukunikezela kuvulo lwe-NFC. Kuhleli kubonakala ukuba i-ACCC iphendula njani kule meko.
