Actually, that’s not correct, I paid with Apple Pay at a Walmart last weekend.
You just need to know how to ask your checkout person how to process the order.
Everyone in a while you’ll get someone who won’t do it or wants to call a
manager and cause more trouble than it’s worth but yes you can process payments
with Apple Pay. What you’re saying is technically correct and was what I
expected but their NFC implementation uses the same standard as Apple Pay and
their point of sale terminals support it if you key things in the right way.
Same with the other services.
I don’t have youtube access right now because I’m at work behind a firewall but
I know there are youtube articles that describe how to do this in good
described detail if you’re interested.

Actually walmart will never have apple pay as they came up with their own
thing. You can read about it in the tech delight articles from around
September 2014. And give your town time. They'll have apple pay and it rocks.
Just use your finger to pay and you walk out the door. It's grate. As for me
since computers are my thing I'm always interested in trying out new tech
then berating it if necessary.

Hi, don’t hate it that is different I embrace most technology. I am sort of
old fashion and don’t like a lot of change unless it really going to make a
big difference in making my life better. I did without it this long it just
not a thing I think will make that much difference in my life. Besides I not
too lazy to open something up to see what is in side.
It is like apple pay. I sure I would love it but what good is it more than
likely around here in this country side and deep south it would not be used
as the merchants would not carry it.
I live at least 10 to 15 miles from a town and I say a town. They call it
city of Quincy but it not a city nowhere near it. the whole county
population is under 50 thousand . the next largest city to me is the State
capital of Florida and it is by no means a city either . It is in Leon
county and called Tallahassee Florida . it population is only for the whole
county is under 300 thousand and most or a lot of that is students as there
is Two major collages in that county FSU and FAMU and then a major community
college TEC and a major trade school Lively VoTech . and several other
smaller collages . the Population of Tallahassee itself is just under 200
thousand and here again this is mostly students as all these schools are in
Tallahassee Florida. So students more than likely make up 50 percent of the
Tallahassee population.
So I will try to use the Apple pay but I have not heard of anyone using it
anywhere myself and most I ask about it like merchants they look at me if
could see like I was crazy. They say what is that never heard of it.
So around here in Quincy for example: Wind Dixie, Pig wiggly and stones home
center and Bell and bates home center and Walmart and wall greens and CvS
and then some fast food places and other small shops I sure is not going to
even have apple pay in the stores.
Then traveling 40 miles to the next biggest city and the capital of Florida
Tallahassee Florida it might be a little better but doubt it. maybe some of
the major places over there like Lowe’s and Home depot and so on might take
it. But don’t know if that will be the case in that small southern town
either.
But all this being said I will embrace and hope I can use apple pay some of
the time.
But to get back to 3d touch no I don’t hate it just don’t see a good reason
to use it as a second or 2 off my life a day is not really going to matter
and just would rather look into the app by opening it up then to peek into
it and then still have to open it up.
I just not that lazy and to me only it sounds like you are going to work
yourself to death to keep from doing a little work. All this is just my
thoughts for my situation . I sure it is different for others .

I know several people who said they would hate it, they now use 3d touch to
just look at stuff. They have disabilities with their hands so for them 3d
touch works grate. I can't wait to try it out as I hate opening something
just to look at what i need to look at. Hopefully I'll get a chance to
upgrade in the next few months.

Keep in mind it wont' have 3d touch. I read this in an article last night
on my tech twitter list. I was hoping it would but oh well.
Take care and hope that helps.

Actually, if you have ever been a verizon or t-mobile subscriber you’ve
owned an unlocked phone most likely. Verizon doesn’t lock their devices
and T-Mobile unlocks them when you complete your financing or if you
travel internationally etc.
Congratulations on the new device. Definitely let us know how you like
it. If it’s the same innards as the 6s+ you’ll love it. My 6S+ is so
much better on the cell network than the previous models. Good luck and
enjoy.

Well, just order the unlock iPhone SE from Apple store. I got the 64 GB
in Rose gold ! It should be here the first week in April if not sooner.
Don’t think it was a bad price for a unlock iPhone. Total with tax and
everything came to around 536 bucks. I have never had a unlock phone
before so this is my first!
