Well it finally happened. #Walmart added #TapToPay

Die Ankündigung von neulich schon wieder vergessen und heute positiv überrascht bei #Walmart das Contactless Logo für #TaptoPay gesehen.

Leider nicht bei nem Self-Checkout gewesen und daher nicht herausfinden können ob sie contactless mit contact verlinkt haben (da hätte ich dann auch bei contactless die Kassenbeleg-per-SMS Option erwartet). Online taucht der Einkauf jedenfalls noch(?) nicht auf.

Ah, just as I was just asking for solutions to exit Google Pay, today I learned that a privacy oriented tap to pay app is coming. Will be keeping an eye on Walt.

Walt julkaisi ensimmäisenä mukana olevat pankit, toistaiseksi vain mastercardit.
Mutta suomesta tämän hetken tietoon tuetut pankit Danske Bank, Ålandsbanken, (Holvi).

Tätä odottaen, kunhan saa julkaisuun!

Walmart to finally start accepting Apple Pay and Google Pay

Are pigs flying? Walmart has finally caved on its refusal to support Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Wife was outside, enjoying the weather. She comes into the house to announce, "I think I just heard #MisterSoftee."

My dog is sitting calmly next to me, so I know he hadn't heard the truck. He goes nuts when he hears the Mister Softee music (even if it's just on TV). I respond back, "are you sure it wasn't another truck's music?" That it's also Thursday rather than his more-normal Friday further enhanced my doubt. She responded that she was sure, just that it was very faint and that dog probably didn't hear it over my fan and my music.

A few minutes later, I hear the door open, again. Wife is walking towards me. Just as she starts to say, "he's pulling up," my dog is running towards my work-desk, yipping the whole way. He pokes me with his cold nose to get my complete attention.

I get up, grab my phone (yay, #TapToPay!), and head to the front door. My dog is fast at my heals. I have to tell him to calm down and to sit before I feel comfortable opening the door. I don't think he'd bolt, but not worth the risk. Dog "sitting" — wiggling from the excitement — I open the door and head out.

I get down to the truck and the #IceCream man has two #PupCups already waiting. I order a scoop of chocolate to share with my wife and chit-chat with the driver. Mostly, relating to him about how my dog let me know he was rolling up.

Walk back inside and deposit the shared-scoop in the fridge and hand wife a pup-cup to give to her dog. I have my dog lie down — he's frantically wiggling and barely able to lay down from the excitement. Once he's somewhat settled, I present his pup-cup to him. To his credit, he stays laid down. As he's licking out of the cup, his tail is fluttering in time with his tongue.

My growing retired-transit-card collection

A year ago, this week’s work trip to the Bay Area would have meant breaking out the oldest computer that I was still using with any regularity at the time: the Clipper card that I bought in June of 2012 to pay for fares on BART, Muni and other transit agencies around San Francisco.

But this year, I could leave that NFC-enabled smart card in the little holder in which I store my other stored-value transit cards and instead tap my phone to pay with my business credit card for each ride–first a SamTrans bus from SFO to Millbrae, then Caltrain to San Jose for TechEx North America, then two days of commuting up and down the peninsula for Google I/O.

BART started accepting contactless payments last August, and now all the Bay Area transit services that accept Clipper cards also let you tap to pay with a phone, a smartwatch or a credit or debit card with an NFC chip.

Whether you call it “tap to pay,” “open payments” or “open loop,” letting people pay for a fare as if it were any other on-the-go purchase is a great advance for transit. Especially for out-of-towners, as I realized years ago when visiting Chicago and Portland and appreciating the early lead of their transit services in this key bit of CX.

A growing array of agencies across the U.S. have finally wised up to this after years of requiring people to buy proprietary stored-value cards, install agency-specific apps or make a throwback cash payment: Metro, NYC’s MTA, the T in Boston, NJ Transit buses and light rail, SEPTA around Philadelphia, MARTA in Atlanta, and the Seattle region’s Sound Transit, among many others.

L.A.’s Metro has been a high-profile laggard–a personally inconvenient one since my TAP card expired last year. But this week users have begun reporting success on Reddit and in Bluesky posts with using their phones and credit cards to cover train and bus fares now that Metro there seems to have begun a soft launch of what it calls “TAP Plus.”

As I’ve spent down the balance on transit cards I no longer need, the ones that I still need to use are now most entirely confined to agencies in other countries. Some examples: I love Barcelona’s Metro but I don’t love how it doesn’t support tap to pay; Doha’s driverless metro is a technological marvel but also requires its own colorful card; Vancouver’s Compass Card offers enough of a discount over tap-to-pay rates (because that city didn’t follow Toronto’s fare-neutral example) that I picked up one for last year’s Web Summit conference there and used it again for this year’s event.

But there is one awkward exception right in my neighborhood: Arlington Transit, which continues to require the SmarTrip card that WMATA rolled out in 1999. So while I can pay for Metro like it’s the 21st century, I still have to keep my well-worn SmarTrip card handy in case an ART bus rolls up before a Metro bus does.

2025 rekordowym rokiem dla usług Apple

Apple ogłosiło w tym tygodniu, że  ubiegły rok był „rekordowy” dla wielu jej usług, w tym App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV i Apple Podcasts.

„Usługi Apple miały znakomity rok, wprowadzając przełomowe funkcje dla klientów i bijąc rekordy” — powiedział Eddy Cue, dyrektor ds. usług Apple, w komunikacie prasowym.

Liczby odzwierciedlają niesamowity entuzjazm naszych klientów, niezależnie od tego, czy chodzi o pobieranie nowych aplikacji lub gier, oglądanie najpopularniejszych nowych programów z rodziną i przyjaciółmi, słuchanie ulubionych piosenek czy spokojne robienie zakupów.

Oto niektóre statystyki za rok 2025 przedstawione w komunikacie Apple:

• App Store miał średnio ponad 850 milionów użytkowników tygodniowo w 175 krajach i regionach, a także ustanowił nowy rekord roczny pod względem liczby odwiedzających ze Stanów Zjednoczonych.
• App Store odnotował rekordową liczbę odwiedzających między Wigilią a Nowym Rokiem.
• Apple TV ustanowiło nowy rekord miesięcznego zaangażowania w grudniu, a łączna liczba godzin oglądanych treści w serwisie streamingowym wzrosła o 36% w ujęciu rok do roku. Wzrost ten był napędzany przez takie hity jak F1: The Movie i Pluribus.
• Apple Music miało najlepszy rok w historii, bijąc rekordy słuchalności i liczby nowych subskrybentów.
• Shazam generował ponad 1 miliard rozpoznań miesięcznie.
• Apple Pay jest obecnie dostępne na 89 rynkach, a według Apple usługa płatnicza wyeliminowała oszustwa o wartości znacznie przekraczającej 1 miliard USD na całym świecie.
• Funkcja Tap to Pay na iPhonie jest obecnie dostępna na 50 rynkach. Usługa ta jest już dostępna w Polsce.
• Apple Maps rozszerzyło swoją funkcję Detailed City Experience z trójwymiarowymi punktami orientacyjnymi na nowe lokalizacje, takie jak Nowy Orlean, Singapur i Monako.
• Funkcja Apple Share Item Location w aplikacji Find My jest obecnie oferowana przez 36 linii lotniczych.
• Apple Arcade dodało ponad 50 nowych gier.
• Apple Fitness+ rozszerzyło swoją działalność na 28 kolejnych krajów (w tym Polskę) i regionów, a na początku tego roku zostanie uruchomione w Japonii.
• Apple Podcasts ustanowiło roczne rekordy liczby słuchaczy, odtworzeń odcinków i nowych subskrybentów. Pomimo rosnącej konkurencji ze strony YouTube, Spotify i innych platform wideo, Apple Podcasts zanotowało swój najlepszy wynik w historii.
• Apple News jest najpopularniejszą aplikacją informacyjną w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Kanadzie i Australii oraz drugą najpopularniejszą aplikacją informacyjną w Wielkiej Brytanii.

Więcej informacji na temat nowych funkcji dodanych do usług Apple w 2025 roku, a także różnych innych ustanowionych rekordów można znaleźć na stronie internetowej centrum prasowego Apple.

Komentarz

Gdy spojrzymy na strukturę przychodów Apple po ostatnich wynikach finansowych, widać jak na dłoni, że firma nie stoi już na fundamencie sprzedaży iPhone’a, ale od lat ma dwa. Tym drugim są właśnie usługi.

Wykres: MacRumors.

To zasługa wielu czynników, ale najważniejszym z nich jest ekosystem, nad którym Apple nadal – pomimo unijnych regulacji – ma największą kontrolę na całym rynku producentów elektroniki użytkowej. Dodatkowo konturuje także stronę sprzętową swoich produktów.

Apple to dziś firma, która zamierza przede wszystkim skupić się w najbliższych latach na powiększaniu swojego portfolio usług — przede wszystkim poprzez skupowanie rynku i praw do różnych treści; co doskonale widać po ostatniej umowie z Formułą 1. Dzięki temu Apple zachęca kolejnych użytkowników zakładania ich pierwszych kont Apple i nabywania nowych produktów.

Widać to po obecnych wynikach w kategorii Mac, gdzie mamy rekord. Większość sprzedaży pochodziła od istniejących użytkowników dokonujących upgrade’u, przy czym prawie połowa klientów była nowa w ekosystemie Mac. Tego typu doprecyzowania ze strony zarządu i Tima Cooka powinniśmy słyszeć coraz częściej w najbliższych latach, jeżeli plan Apple, o którym piszę wyżej (głównie Eddiego Cue) się powiedzie.

To, na czym Apple zależy dziś najbardziej to krok pierwszy, czyli każde nowe Apple Account, które ktoś założy. Z dowolnego urządzenia lub przez stronę internetową, aby na przykład móc obejrzeć coś na Apple TV. To właśnie krok pierwszy, a potem taka osoba kupi kolejny produkt i pozostanie w ekosystemie. W przeważającej większości, co pokazują wzrosty, o których co kwartał słyszymy podczas ogłaszania kolejnych, rekordowych wyników finansowych.

Czy Apple to zatem złota klatka? Zdecydowanie zgadzam się z tak postawioną tezą, a więcej o działaniu tej firmy, w ujęciu spółki giełdowej opowiadam w tym odcinku podcastu „Bo czemu nie?”. Od A do Z.

@ruari @timmy
I did a quick little research...

I found only 1 bank in the #Philippines that has #TapToPay via their mobile app... and only on Android.

So for me here, it's just swipe with the card, chip on the card, tap with the card (doesn't always work), or QR scan with an e-wallet (sometimes buggy).

@evelyn To answer this question

"Are #TapToPay #wearables usable at any terminal where you can tap-to-pay with a card? Should be, right?"

Yes but given you have no local banks that support the underlying tech stack I guess you could not do it yourself.

A tourist who has one though probably could (not that this helps you at all).

@ruari
I have a very basic/silly question.
#EducateMePlease

Are #TapToPay #wearables usable at any* terminal where you can tap-to-pay with a card? Should be, right?

When I'm out riding 🚲 I normally don't carry my credit card. If wearables are a sure thing and like using a card then I think I might just get one. Many places I frequent have tap-to-pay. But I've only seen it done with cards. I haven't seen/noticed anyone* here 🇵🇭 paying with wearables. Maybe #banks here don't allow it yet? 🤔
