Q: If the iPhone 5s has touch ID, then why can't it use Apple Pay to make in-app purchases?
They came out with a new iPad mini, and the only difference with the old mini and the new mini is that it has touch ID so that you can make in-app purchases. That's just about the only difference.
Ok, well, the iPhone 5s has touch ID already. Why can't it be used to make in-app purchases?
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1

I did read the question you at first had written, however the more detailed post you made was after I already wrote my post. In any event I will let others provide the information you apparently are looking for.
Why doesn't Apple Pay work with the iPhone 5S?
iPhone 5S users are probably wondering why their Touch ID doesn't work with Apple Pay. The problem is that the 5S doesn't have the SE chip, so it can't generate the code to transmit your credit or debit card number, even for in-app transactions.
