Will Apple Pay work on iphone 5S with iOS8?
Wondering if Apple Pay will work on an iPhone 5S running iOS8?
Thanks!

No, it lacks the necessary hardware.

Only the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have an NFC (near-field communication) chip, which Apple Pay relies on. It won't work on an iPhone 5S.
Thanks for the speedy reply. I wasn't sure, since the 5S also has the print recognition on the home button, but I guess the print recognition with Pay is actually on screen.
Thanks so much for the speedy reply. Ah, yes, it's more than just print recognition. Need the NFC, too, which is not in 5S.
THANKS AGAIN!
You're welcome.
