The feature did, in fact, work - a quick trip to McDonalds proved that you could easily use a Lumia 950 plugged into NFC Tap to Pay to buy something (although we may have to question Daniel Rubino's journalistic integrity when he says he hasn't been to McDonald's in a decade!). Apple has Apple Pay for iOS handsets and wearables, Google has Android Pay, and Samsung is pushing its Samsung Pay as an alternative to both.
Microsoft has been a company which has always been coming out with some of the most innovative updates and upgrades for their software and OS technologies over the years.
These two Lumia phones are now expected to get a new Windows 10 Mobile OS update and is also expected to bring forward a major change in the device functioning.
Apple Unveils Host of Software Improvements at WWDC 2016The new version of the tvOS system will enable you to sign in once to access multiple apps from various TV network providers. In addition, Apple will soon roll out Apple Pay in more countries, with France, Switzerland, and Hong Kong next in line.
When Microsoft Wallet was announced in 2012, it was touted as being the "most complete wallet experience" with support for credit and debit cards, membership and loyalty cards, and more. Once the register is ready for you to pay, you tap your phone to the NFC-enabled terminal and your payment will go through. To set them up for Tap to Pay, you'll receive a verification SMS that will help confirm you are the card holder.
Microsoft hasn't confirmed whether Tap to Pay will be a USA exclusive initially, or whether it will also be available in other countries. Users are able to easily add their own favorite cards to the list by entering the info into the Wallet 2.0 app. He also notes that the new Wallet 2.0 app is compatible with loyalty cards from a number of popular merchants, such as Petco, JC Penney, Rite Aid, and more.
