When will Apple Pay be available in Germany/Europe?

Hi all,
any news when Apple Pay will finally be available in Germany? For me Apple Pay was definitely a strong argument for going away from my "old" iPhone 5 and buying a new iPhone 6 right from the start in September last year. Now, 7 month later, nothing happened. I still can't use Apple Pay here in Germany. Why that? is it so difficult to convince banks here in Germany to support Apple Pay? Is Apple just too greedy and can't find banks willing to pay the fees dictated by Apple? My hope was that things might change once the Apple Watch is available ... but still no news about Apple Pay in Germany ... or Europe in general. After waiting such a long time now I'm quite disappointed.
Regards, Nils

Apple don't tell us their plans in advance.

    II'm interested to know when Apple Pay will be available in the UK as I believe that it's already out in the US!

  • When will Apple Pay be available for iPhone 5?

    I have seen that Apple Pay is not available for my iPhone 5. Will it become available to that phone as well as the #6? When?

    Nope.   The iPhone 5 lacks the NFC chip that the Apple Pay service requires in order to connect with the payment terminals at stores.
    However, once the Apple Watch is released, you can use it in conjunction with the iPhone 5, 5c, or 5s for Apple Pay based payments.

  • When will Apple Pay be available?

    According to the media, Apple Pay went "live" today, yet it is my understanding that one needs iOS 8.1 to get apple pay, and software update on my iPhone 6 says my software is up to date with iOS 8.0.2.  When will the new iOS be available for download?

    When Apple widely publicizes that Apple Pay is being launched TODAY and that the update will be available TODAY, it just seems logical to me that it would've been available at 12:01am EST - or at the latest 12:01am PST.  If they are waiting to release it just to "create a buzz" - that would really annoy me.  There are many of us loyal Apple customers - that look forward to the latest and greatest - and having us "wait" just for the sake of it would not be "very nice' in my opinion.  Just venting
    Um, no.  They're waiting to release it until a reasonable hour so that if customers have questions about how to download it or experience issues with downloading it, then the Apple support advisors will be available and the Apple Stores will be open, and the engineers that need to be on hand to manage any server issues are on-site.
    In other words, they want to make sure that real, live human beings are on hand to assist as needed.  It's stupid to expect them to release it in the middle of the night when there wouldn't be any of those support people (or very, very few) available.

  • When will Apple Pay be available in Mexico?

    Release date.

    It is unknown.
    Banks and Stores have to adopt it. Mainly because stores need to install the NFC terminals to accept Apple Pay, and Banks need to accept the protocols for Payment through said terminals.    Very few stores actually have these NFC terminals, and even fewer actually use them in any capacity.
    It will probably be a while until its available in Mexico.

  • When will iTunes Radio be available in Germany?

    Does anyone have any idea when iTunes Radio will be available in Germany?

    Apple have not yet made any announcements about this. Presumably the rights have to be negotiated for each country separately, as was the case with iTunes Match, so it can take some time.
