Apple occasionally take entire industries, and use their influence to create game-changing experiences.

This may be a nothing burger, but it could be revolutionary for small businesses. ?https://t.co/QxwgHqqcCG

If third parties can’t use it, then I have a ton of questions about how this is supposed to actually work. Apple has super smart people on their payments teams, so I expect it will be good, but cutting out payment companies would be an odd sell.

Unless Apple is about to unveil a suite of backend software to support this from the small biz side, I don't see how this is impacts $SQ.

Its only RFID or Apple Pay so you'll need another service for the rest. Samsung has had this for 3 years and it hasn't impacted anyone. https://t.co/x2pYzhIz5a
