“At The Wall Street Journal’s inaugural WSJD Live conference on Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed Apple Pay is off to a booming start, with more than one million card activations in its first 72 hours of service.

According to Cook, the massive uptake makes Apple Pay the largest contactless payment system in the U.S., more than the combined total of cards registered with competitors.”

That is really impressive and it shows how dangerous it might be for those retailers who have decided not to support it. Tim Cook even stated that ultimately customers will decide with their feet and not the retailers. I am excited to see this hit the UK next year, although I reckon it will taken 1-2 years to become more mainstream.
