we know, that you are a cool guy close to the "Sparkassen-Lager". We know, that iOS got a low marked share and new fintechs like N26 are sh*t. We also know that AP is not the most valuable thing in life. BUT could you please stop acting like the german mastermind of the financial sector. We know your perch already and don't want to get informed by every post in this thread
yeah. that's what I said. Calm down and sleep of your drinking spree. You seem as you have badly slept this night.

Apple Pay is coming within the next two weeks. This childish panic is getting ridiculously hysteric.
 
Well today is the Q4 Earnings Call I wonder if they say anything about Germany... probably not
(10 PM CET)

https://www.apple.com/investor/earnings-call/
It's not beyond the realm of possibility.

I can well imagine Tim or Luca saying something along the lines of... "Apple Pay has seen more transactions than the previous quarter, with a record XYZ million transactions. That's a XYZ% increase over the same quarter last year. We continue rolling out Apple Pay globally and have seen strong market adoption. We're very happy with the customer response. After launching in Brazil, the Ukraine, Poland and Norway earlier this year, we now look forward to adding more countries and launching in Germany, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands later this month."

Why not? It's happened before... A general announcement back in August, more concrete information now. Apple seem to be using these earnings calls for Apple Pay and services announcements more recently. Makes sense to tell us a little more. We never know :D
 
Apple‘s social media team probably checks twitter and they got the tweets about Apple Pay and how everyone’s starting to expect an exact date for a launch so they’ve decided not to announce any of the new ones but to just let them be a surprise ;)
 
Wow. Tim talks lots on Apple Pay. No new countries. No concrete launch date... Let's wait for Luca. Last year he was the one who announced the Finland, Sweden, Denmark, UAE launch.

He is still summarizing the Q4 results...
Outlook will be later, like usually in investor calls. Also there will be analysts asking questions...maybe one explicitly asks about AP
 
Guys, why is everyone waiting for an announcement?!?! Apple Pay WAS announced July 31st. You are almost as hysteric as the people on twitter.

EDIT:
Furthermore, the banks already confirmed a launch this year.

Well, honestly: Some more countries were to be expected. It doesn't really make sense: Saudi Arabia is to go live soon and it never got announced. That's a first, ever.

Possibly Apple has decided to even stop announcing Apple Pay launches, as to stop the disappointment when it doesn't go well (as in Germany).
