#Tap to Pay Apple

The new Tap to Pay feature for iPhones was seen in action at the Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino, California. It won’t require any new hardware and it’ll allow users to do the contactless payment, either credit or debit, between two iPhones (starting iPhone XS onwards) through Apple Pay. Based on the video, the process of Tap to Pay seems seamless, it’ll just take a few seconds for the money transfer between the two iPhones within close range of each other. No announcements yet from Apple on when is the release of Tap to Pay to their devices but the footage confirms that it’s been used or tested at the Apple Park. Apple has introduced a new subscription option on the App Store that lets users pay monthly while committing for 12 months. Apple said users will be able to track how many payments they have completed and how many are left through their Apple Account. Apple said the goal of this update is to make subscriptions easier to manage while giving users clearer payment options. Metrobank has announced a significant reduction in its InstaPay transfer fees, introducing a new flat rate of ₱8 per transaction beginning February 1, 2026.
