Not sure what to think of this. Somehow I would prefer if Apple kept building technology platforms that then enable other parties to develop solutions but instead they seem to be moving into a totally integrated platform. The business success is there but from a technology point of view I find Apple has been pretty unexciting over the last years. They have turned into a well run big tech company like Microsoft under Ballmer. Good business but not very exciting.

afaiu from the announcement:
Apple doesn’t know what you purchased, Goldman Sachs is not allowed to sell the data.

#13It sounds like Apple's doing a lot of things very right with Card. I am curious when it's going to be available here in Germany.

In Chicago, a lot of chain stores allow for Apple Pay, such as Aldis and Dunkin Donuts. But it’s hit or miss for independent shops. Some nice coffee shops and restaurants have tablets, but these often aren’t equipped to take Apple Pay.

Presumably, the metadata stays on your device or is guaranteed to not be sold.

In the stream they seem to suggest that it’s “private” in the sense of
1. Apple doesn’t get any information (it’s all done on-device) 2. The data GS gets (and probably needs to keep, for auditing/paper trail) they “will never sell.” This probably means they have some kind of special agreement?
Not sure what MasterCard would get though.

There's a physical card you can use as well.
~~But not online. Online is ApplePay only.~~
Edit: Apparently not.
