Q: Disappointed in availability and restrictions
Hey community !
I live in Czech Republic, Central Europe. We have one of the best contactless payment structure in Europe. Starting this month banks in my country are releasing applications for Android platform (since they have an open API for NFC) that pretty much everyone can link their bank account to a phone with NFC and pay with it in a matter of seconds.
I have always supported Apple and I am loving my iPhone 6 Plus with my new Apple Watch. But since I paid not a small amount of money for this devices and "Apple Pay" is a big part of their feature set I would love to ask what is the reasoning behind locking down the NFC API (?!) when Apple cant deliver Apple Pay and I see absolutely no interest in doing so in many European countries. Even younger Samsung Pay Is already ready for worldwide payments.
This is a huge limitations for me and many other people here and in other countries, pretty angry about this.
Best regards,
Ondra
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.2

Hi Ondra
I'm afraid that no-one here can answer that (this is a user-based community - you are not talking to Apple here) and it is also not allowed here to discuss or speculate about Apple's policies or decisions.
If you would like to submit feedback to Apple, you can do so here:
