Apple Pay Apple Pay in Germany

I believe those are the networks that are supported (duh
).I looked into it a while ago and I believe 3 is MasterCard (Maestro included) and 4 is Visa (VPay included). 1 is Amex as far as I know.
Concerning the launch of Apple Pay in Germany. When we look back to last year, Apple Pay was launched in Denmark and some other countries on October 24, I believe. On Friday October 27, pre-orders for the iPhone X started. I guess they launched it before the pre-order and launch date of the iPhone X so that Apple Pay would not take away any attention from the new phone.
So for Germany, wouldn't it make sense to either launch Apple Pay tomorrow or Thursday, as on Friday pre-orders for the iPhone Xr start. Launching Apple Pay next week, would distract from the launch of the Xr. Especially German media coverage would shift to Apply Pay instead of solely focusing on the Xr.
Thoughts?

Is the XR so important? iPhone X User, who would not downgrade to the XR. Don´t get me wrong, I don´t think that an XR would be a bad choice.

Not in that scenario for sure. But it's the launch of an important product for Apple.
Two quick things: XR is a big deal and might become the bestseller this year!
Number two: Sparkasse will probably ditch Apple Pay and launch that rumoured QR code solution next year for iOS (and go the same route as Twint in CH). Someone else mentioned that a while back and that’s what I’ve now heard. Depressing, dear SPK...

Flip the switch @wirecard! AP on German launch day via boon. I´m totally aware of the fact that this is not twitter and that Wirecard won´t read this post.
It was me... and believe me... Bluecode is just another option! I strongly believe they switch over to Apple Pay...

comdirect planning to add Google Pay support for their Girocard during the next year. Meaning it’ll then probably get Apple Pay support as well
In can read the word "Bluecode" on the Powerpoint page of the Sparkasse.
So from my point of view, this will be their "solution" for iOS Users. Not Apple Pay.

@kkrdvc There is a nice app to stitch screenshots in the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/tailor-screenshot-stitching/id926653095?mt=8
Have the App already, but why should you stitch two screenshots that are not part of the same screen? Two different pages shown here. Tailor is only usable for when you want to stitch something you scroll through (a list, a chat history, a twitter thread etc.). Those are screenshots of a thread and a profile.@kkrdvc There is a nice app to stitch screenshots in the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/tailor-screenshot-stitching/id926653095?mt=8

DKB made an „official“ statement, that they are working on an implementation. Propably not from the start

How credible is that source?
In this thread, Linsenbarth claims it would be in November. He didn't always get everything right in the past but I am wondering why he would word this so strongly.

When were the banks published on the Apple Pay site in the past (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206637)?
On the launch day of ApplePay or a few days before?

I wouldn't be able to say. Journalists don't always know everything though
My thoughts: If Apple is unexpectedly planning to launch Apple Pay Cash in Europe and the rumours for Belgium / Czech Republic in the very near future are true, we might get a small announcement on a possible October keynote and a launch alongside iOS 12.1 which makes sense for many reasons. That would fit into what Rudolf is saying. Right now anything is possible. I can wait.
Also my comdirect application will surely take a week or two anyway
.Whatever the exact date, I'm sure we'll be able to wait 2-3 weeks...

Launch day. But remember to always check the English version (ie. today Amex Sweden was added). The translated versions always take 2-3 weeks at least.

Bluecode is another option and arrives one or two quarters after „other providers“. And there is no bluecode option mentioned in this Box
The only negative thing, a little bit late. But in the end, it does not matter. Products like this are long runner. Noticeable market effect will arrive, when they join the game. Not much early.
