Germany is so ****** when it comes to technology. Im from germany and nearly every neighbour country has the possibility to pay with apple pay. As Merkel said, Internet here is "Neuland" for us
Which slays me as the best engineered machines in the world come out of Germany. You'd expect it to be the opposite. :)

Including the cars in those engineering kudos. Loved my BMW!!!

Technically the banks are ready. They could start as early as now.

It is currently up on Apple to launch Apple Pay in Germany. Based on information I have , there was/is a dispute over the fees. Look around and ask yourself why only niche banks (with small exceptions) in Europe adopted Apple Pay so far.

EDIT: The adoption rate of NFC Contactless Readers in Germany is percentage wise way higher compared to USA oder other countries. So the infrastructure is available.

it's silky smooth on SE, fast animations no lags etc. but it's still laggy on 5s, animations and unlocking screen animation lags as hell.

Whenever I play with display phones in store, the SE is always the fastest

same hardware with 6s, smaller screen than 6s. that's the most important part. it's flying right now. but nobody knows how it'll be 2 years later :)

Let's keep substantive comments about iOS 11 in their respective threads. This one is purely for speculation about future beta and public releases.

I’m not planning on doing it but I was wondering..

If you don’t have a profile but installed a beta version (from some website), will your phone prompt you to update when the public release is available if the build number is the same? Or will you just remain on that beta until the build number is different on a future public release?

It was a new banking institution, but as sunny has outlined previously in this thread, it requires new code for a new country, not a server side update.
To sum it up:

Launching in a new country, requires an update to the OS. New banks don’t require an os update.

We have an interesting case over in Germany:

N26 (German bank) announces Apple Pay later this year for Spain and France. As the bank operates with German credit cards, they are unable to start in Spain and France.

So without an update to OS and launch in Germany they are not able to start in France/Spain.
Seems like Apple Pay launches in a number of other counties today (seemingly without an iOS update like 11.1): https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/24/apple-pay-launches-in-denmark-finland-sweden-uae/

Not entirely sure how a beta this week would push back the final from next week. Especially considering the X launches next week.

Apple is full of surprise, I don’t expect any new beta this week, but who knows? Maybe they’ll fix the calculator bug with beta 6 and release the final identical to beta 6.

Of course these are all about speculations..
