Isepha opera ukutholakala kwe-Apple Pay e-Australia sekukude ukuphela. Amabhange akuleli ahlala njalo ezwakalisa ukungaphatheki kahle kwawo ngemali ephakeme ekhokhiswa i-Apple ngamabhange ukuthi akwazi ukunikela ngezindlela zayo zokukhokha ezidijithali kumakhasimende asebhange, nokuyinto amabhange abonakala engavumelani nayo. Kepha akuyona inkinga kuphela ababhekene nayo, ngoba amabhange ancike ekuphoqeleni i-Apple ukuthi ibanikeze ukufinyelela ku-chip ye-NFC ukuze izicelo zebhange zinikeze insizakalo yazo yokukhokha yedijithali ngqo kumakhasimende abo ngaphandle kokukhokha inkampani nganoma yisiphi isikhathi.
Izindaba zakamuva ezivela e-Australia, ziqinisekisa ukuthi amabhange abukeka ebeka eceleni izidingo zezomnotho zakwa-Apple ngemuva nokuthi manje abakufunayo ukuthi i-Apple ibanikeze ukufinyelela ku-chip ye-NFC, into i-Apple enqatshelwe njalo kusukela kungabeka ukuphepha kwepulatifomu yakho engcupheni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Apple ayiyona i-NGO, futhi uma ingeze i-chip ye-NFC futhi yakha ipulatifomu yokukhokha, ukuthola imali, hhayi ukuthi abanye bayisebenzise ngaphandle kwenkampani.
Kepha amabhange athi asemuva kwe-Apple ukukhipha ukufinyelela ku-chip ye-NFC ukuze abathengi banenketho yokusebenzisa amakhadi nezinsizakalo ezihambisana nobuchwepheshe be-NFC bafuna ngaphandle kokukhawulelwa kulokho okunikezwa yi-Apple. Njengokungathi amabhange bekungewona awokuqala ukuduna abathengi. Inkantolo yezokuncintisana yezwe kumele iphinde ikhiphe isinqumo sokuthi bayakwazi yini ukucindezela ngokusemthethweni i-Apple ukuthi idedele ukufinyelela kule chip emabhange, yize yayike yakhipha isinqumo ngalolu daba, yenqaba ukufinyelela futhi yanikeza uManzana isizathu.
Konke kubonakala kukhombisa ukuthi amabhange ase-Australia alulekwa kabi futhi acabanga ukuthi i-iOS iyinkundla efana ne-Android, lapho noma yiluphi uhlelo lokusebenza lungafinyelela i-chip ye-NFC kusuka kumatheminali. Ipulatifomu ye-Apple ivaliwe njengohlelo lwayo lokusebenza, futhi i-Apple ingenza lokho ekufunayo ngayo, yize kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi abasebenzisi abaningi bangabonga ukuthi i-Apple inikeze inkululeko ethe xaxa lapho isebenzisa i-chip ye-NFC yamadivayisi abo.
