“苹果粉”们一直期待的Apple Pay正式登陆中国。2月18日，兴业银行等12家银行率先上线这一基于手机安全芯片的非接触式支付模式，“快速、安全、私密”的体验或将引爆移动支付领域的又一次热潮。
目前，在iPhone6以上型号的手机、Apple Watch和iPad上加载带有银联标识的兴业银行理财卡或信用卡，就能轻松体验ApplePay线下商户和线上App消费。
对于Apple Pay备受关注的操纵“快”感，专业人士称，与智能手机普遍安装的扫码支付方式相比，使用Apple Pay线下支付时，无需扫描二维码，也无需点亮显示屏及打开APP，依托创新的近场通信(NFC)天线设计，只要将iPhone靠近银联“云闪付”POS终端，同时在Touch ID上验证指纹即可完成;线上支付甚至简单到只需指纹，无需多余操作。如果以Apple Watch为介质，连续按两下侧边按钮后，将表盘靠近非接触式读卡器，就能感受到‘手腕购买’的神奇。
