I think none of them want Apple Pay because it is slow, gets hung up forever and crashes with no way to recover the data.

All based on years of expert evaluation, I assure you.

Evaluation of WHAT, Gunsequalfreedon? Your navel? Do you own or use Apple products?

And I have more than 35 years in the industry in multi-platform consulting. I think that experience might trump yours.

Your claim that Pay crashes is based on NO experience at all, least of all "years of expert evaluation." First of all, because it has not been out years, it's been operational only a week. Secondly, because Apple does not store any Pay data the merchant of the banks or credit card companies would NEED to recover. So you don't know at ALL what you are talking about. Everything at the transaction level is independent of Apple. You are debunked. Just FUD.

Finally, no one has reported Pay getting hung up. It is just as quick as it takes to select which card the user wants and pressing the fingerprint reader. Done. Again, you don't know what you are talking about. More FUD.

The only problems reported has been that Bank of America, at there end, double charged Pay users for about 1000 transactions, for which they have apologized and took for responsibility, stating it was not the fault of Apple. . . and that some NFC card readers were not capable of receiving the signal because they had been incapacitated by the retailers, as this article stated.

I suspect that restraint of trade claims will be filed against these retailers for this action by their credit card processing companies.

Did you see the beach ball of death in my original post? Think that might be a clue I intended it to be Apple Mac bashing?

Bashing aside, if your clients are taking your advice to buy Apple they have a been given advice thats unecessarily wasting their money.

I don’t place much stock in your 35 years experience. I have many years working both platforms in a very intense work setting. I’ll give you the Macs can take a beating. I’ve beat on the things plenty of times. The Windows machines do more and communicate with the rest of the world making them far more efficient.

Apple is a complete feel good cult waste of money. No insult intended.
