It is looking like Apple Pay is going to be launching a week today and i am trying to find out how this will be activated on UK devices. Surely there won't be an iOS update specifically just for the UK?
I'm all set up now Santander allowing users to setup from today! All my cards are registered so roll on the 14th!

Is it still going to be capped at £20?
If so, it kind of defeats the point of the fingerprint security doesn't it?
It should be £20 if you just wave your phone by the terminal and unlimited if you authorise it with your fingerprint.
Rising to £30 later this year no?
Blame the banks for being backward on the cap, I'm sure once contactless is more established the cap will be raised to something substantial.
No Apple Pay option being displayed in Passbook on my phone, but oddly it DOES appear in the Passbook section of the Apple Watch app on my phone.
Have just gone through the add card process from there and right at the end it says "Card not added - please contact your card issuer". Kind of figures - I'm with First Direct and somebody said on Engadget this morning that they aren't supporting it until 24th July ...
On Twitter they're just saying 'by the end of the month' so that ties in. Pity they couldn't have it from launch.
