Not from Apple
Maybe Apple will tell the banks about it after the launch, and eventually, one employee will share it with the public
Thanks for the quick answer. Hopefully it’ll come soon then. Although I can’t really see businesses using it in Germany. At least not the ones where it would be infinitely useful such as the bakeries.
I really like comdirect so far. Got my first salary to comdirect + kunden werben kunden bonus from a friend. Really easy. Only Apple pay is missing now
i‘ll stay on ING for now. Initially i wanted to switch to comdirect, i opened the Girokonto there and received everything. But as DKB officially anounced GPay today and also announced, that the „other solution“ on the other mobile OS will also be available later in 2019, i think i‘ll do the Switch to DKB. As i received my Payback AMEX Card, i“ll use it for Apple Pay.
Every day that goes by Apple misses Apple Pay profits in the xmas shopping season. Why would they launch AP so damn late lol.
The absence of Apple Pay in Germany probably shocks the nation. So few tweets and no new news here either. Let's see when the first message about a new appointment comes from the insiders.
Please let me correct your sentence:

Tbh I don't give a **** about what any of those self titled "insiders" will post in the future. Even the holy holimuck has absolutely no idea what is going on right now and he seemed the only credible source left.
actually we don't have a clue after thousands of posts here. we could go back to thread #1 and start all over again
Okay folks, next week Apple Pay is scheduled to launch. Source: None (it's clear).
Well we actually know that it's supposed to launch this year... If we can believe Tim's words, then we shouldn't have to wait for much longer.
If I got him correct, even his contact was suprised by apple to not turn the switch.
So something has to go on in the background
Because Tim thought Germany was Belgium. It was never supposed to launch here.
but it was delayed as in Germany - so Tim couldn't use it during his visit

Oh you are wrong. He might have used it anywhere
Maybe he’s just riding on the “Ehssan Khazaeli bandwagon”. I trust Rudolf Linsenbarth when he says not even the banks know. Also 11.12. seems to be a little late just before xMas. Either the deals have been done behind the scenes or they haven’t by now.
Hm.. maybe the terminals in the apple stores in germany just need longer to be updated? I don't know if the terminal "can" NFC and it must only be activated or the terminals must be replaced by new ones ..
What does your assumption refer to?

How hilarious is it that Apple stores are not supporting nfc yet? They know about the upcoming Apple Pay launch for at least 5 month now and yet they cannot manage to set up the Apple stores properly. If this is true than Apple reached a new level of stupidity.
I bet his contacts are Ehssan Khazaeli and n4p84. They met today to have lunch and decided how to fool us around in the next 4 weeks.
