Isepha opera esele ifunyenwe yiApple Pay eOstreliya isekude ukuphela. Iibhanki zelizwe zihlala zivakalisa ukungonwabi kwabo kwimirhumo ephezulu ethi iApple ihlawulise iibhanki ukuba zikwazi ukubonelela ngeqonga layo lokuhlawula ngokwamanani kubathengi beebhanki, into ebonakala ngathi ayivumelani nayo. Kodwa ayisiyiyo kuphela ingxaki abajamelana nayo, ukusukela oko Iibhanki zizimisele ngokunyanzela iApple ukuba ibanike ukufikelela kwi-NFC chip ukuze izicelo zebhanki zikwazi ukubonelela ngenkonzo yazo yedijithali yokuhlawula ngokuthe ngqo kubathengi bayo ngaphandle kokuhlawula inkampani nangaliphi na ixesha.
Iindaba zamva nje ezivela e-Australia, zingqina ukuba iibhanki zibonakala ngathi zibeke bucala iimfuno zoqoqosho luka-Apple ngasemva kwaye ngoku into abayifunayo kukuba i-Apple ibanike ukufikelela kwi-chip ye-NFC, into i-Apple ebisoloko ingavunyelwa okoko ingabeka ukhuseleko kweqonga lakho emngciphekweni. Ukongeza, iApple ayisiyo-NGO, kwaye ukuba iyongeze i-chip ye-NFC kwaye yenza iqonga lokuhlawula, kukufumana imali, hayi ukuba abanye bayisebenzise ngaphandle kwenkampani.
Kodwa iibhanki zibanga ukuba zingasemva kweApple ukukhupha ukufikelela kwi-chip ye-NFC ukuze abathengi banokukhetha ukusebenzisa amakhadi kunye neenkonzo ezihambelana netekhnoloji yeNFC bafuna ngaphandle kokulinganiselwa kwinto enikezelwa yiApple. Njengokuba iibhanki bezingengabo bokuqala ukusebenzisa abathengi. Inkundla yokhuphiswano lweli lizwe kufuneka iphinde igqibe kulo mbandela malunga nokuba bangayinyanzela ngokusemthethweni i-Apple ukuba ikhulule ukufikelela kule chip eziya ezibhankini, nangona yayikhe yagweba ngaphambili ngalo mbandela, iyala ukungena kwaye inika nesizathu kuManzana.
Yonke into ibonakala ibonisa ukuba iibhanki zase-Australia zicetyiswa kakubi kwaye zicinga ukuba i-iOS liqonga elifanayo ne-Android, apho nasiphi na isicelo sinokufikelela kwi-chip ye-NFC Ukusuka kwiitheminali. Iqonga lika-Apple livaliwe njengenkqubo yalo yokusebenza, kwaye iApple inokwenza le nto ifuna yona, nangona kufuneka iqatshelwe into yokuba abasebenzisi abaninzi bayakuxabisa ukuba iApple ibonelele ngenkululeko engakumbi xa besebenzisa i-NFC chip yezixhobo zabo.
