Apple Pay was officially launched in the United States, Americans can pay with their iPhone 6 in several shops. Several major retailers are partners with Apple as McDonald's, Subway, Disney, Sephora, or Target. The full list is much longer.
Users flocked to test Apple Pay once iOS 8.0.1 available. In fact, the update of iOS is required to use the service Apple payment. It's very fast. When paying, the cashier has to choose Apple Pay instead of credit card. The iPhone will automatically detect and wake up near a payment with integrated NFC chip. The user must then approach his smartphone terminal and put his finger on Touch ID for the fingerprint is recognized. In the space of two or three seconds, the transaction is completed.
Apple did not release on availability internationally, if not wanting to do "as soon as possible." If you believe Visa, one of Apple's supplier and major credit card partners, Apple Pay could land in 2015 in Europe. This is at least the current schedule to see how Apple will manage to negotiate.
In the United States, some retailers do not accept (for now) Apple Pay. This is the case of Wal-Mart in particular. Apple will also negotiate with merchants in Europe and in the world to launch its payment service.
