Tim Cook was present at the conference Wall Street Journal Digital, a conference organized by the Wall Street Journal. In particular, he was asked about Apple Pay, the new payment service. Good news, this is a real success. Within 72 hours of launch, more than 1 million cards have been recorded by users. This is an important fact to the point that Apple is already the first place. All competitors combined do not have that million registered cards, though they are present for a while. Among them, there is Google with its Google Wallet.

During his interview, Tim Cook did not provide more recent data. It is certain that new cards were recorded in iPhone 6 and 6 Plus last week. As a reminder, Apple Pay is available in the US at the moment. Apple hopes to propose new country quickly. The firm must make arrangements with the various merchants to offer their customers to pay Apple.
In this regard, Tim Cook made an allusion to the CVS case, a major pharmacy chain in the United States. The latter does not accept Apple Pay (Read: pharmacies refuse Apple Pay). Apple boss thinks CVS and other retailers will change their mind in the future when they see Apple pay scale. It is certain that the merchants were reluctant today should be less in the future. Apple Pay is very young, we have to give him time to develop.
To conclude Apple Pay, Tim Cook said receive many e-mails in which users thank Apple for offering a payment solution that simple. It released its iPhone, Touch ID is used for the print and the transaction is completed.
