Target Mobile Payment System to Compete with Apple Pay

Apple Pay is only a year and a couple of months old. This iOS mobile payment system was introduced in 2014 by the Cupertino-based company. Some experts didn’t believe it could become popular. At first, there were U.S. stores and didn’t want to work with this. Then more and more iPhone users started to enjoy paying without having to carry their credit card and now Target mobile payment plans have appeared.

Different companies followed Apple’s way and also brought their own payment system. Google offers Android Pay feature, Samsung has its mobile payment option and LG as well. Walmart joint this list and now Target also wants to introduceits own payment option.

Would Target mobile payment system really compete with Apple Pay that is about to come to China? It just getsin on the fun and the company that is apart of the Merchant CustomerExchange [which wanted to compete with Apple through CurrentC system]. It’s also curious that some stores that were backeres for this option are now using Apple Pay to make checkout simple and fast.

It is impossible to pay with Apple Pay in Target retail stores. Still the store’s online customers can checkout with ‘fruit’ mobile payment in Target iOS application. Would Apple Pay ever come to your local Target store? We’ve heard the company’s promise to bring it to stores but if Target releasesits own payment system it might not work with Apple.

Would the store name its service Target Pay like Goggle, Apple, Walmart and other companies? Would it be more creative? Since the service is rumored to be released in 2016 we would soon know the answer to this question.

China iPhone Apple Pay Setup to Be Available After New Year Eve

We already heard rumors about Apple working with UnionPay to bring its popular mobile payment system to China. It looks like everything could happen pretty soon. Apple Pay China support could be available as soon as after the New Year Eve.

There is the official confirmation from the Cupertino-based giant about it working with UnionPay and plans to bring this service to China. The iPhone maker has plans to roll out its payment system in this Asian country in early 2016. It should still approve everything with local regulators but it seems that iPhone Apple Pay setup should soon be available in China.

Chinese cartholders who are using UnionPay would also be supported by Apple Pay. This means fast, easy and simple checkout through your iPhone 6s or other iPhone 6 while shopping in local stores.

As stated in reports, the Apple Pay could be supported by QuickPass [this is the mobile payment service that is already working in China and introduced by UnionPay]. What else could it mean to ordinary iPhone users? Well, QuickPass is supported by 15 Chinese banks and if Apple Pay is brought through the same service – users will be able to pay via Apple mobile payment service everywhere in China. This is a great opportunity for the iPhone maker.

There are millions of iPhone fans in China. They are using different Apple gadgets and would be happy to pay with the smartphone as this way they won’t need to carry their credit cards everywhere they go. All the information will be stored in Apple Pay service.

China could be a great new market for developing iPhone payment and making it even more popular than now.

Samsung 3D Touch Phone Similar to Apple iPhone 6s

3D Touch Galaxy S7 that Samsung should unveil next year will remind of current iPhone 6s released by Apple in September 2015. Samsung and Apple are two rival companies that present similar features to customers and fight in the courts regarding patent infringing. So what is the next Galaxy to be like?

Experts believe we would soon see Samsung iPhone 6s copy. The next smartphone developed by this company is expected to get the popular 3D Touch display Apple is already using in its mobile devices. It’s curious how Samsung copies some interesting features offered by Apple and Apple is bringing some recognized features from Samsung to their devices.

Even the courts can’t decide who copies more. Thus the Galaxy S5 got the Touch ID fingerprint scanner introduced earlier by Apple in its iPhone 5s. The next Galaxy S6 model brought some design ideas from the iPhone 6. The upcoming S7 will have to get what it lacks – the 3D Touch screen millions of iPhone 6s and 6s Plus users are already enjoying.

Since the two giants have a real court war because of patent case – Apple would be forced to pay attention at the new Galaxy S7 lineup if it gets the 3D Touch option very similar to the iPhone 6s feature.

Besides the 3D Touch screen the Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone could also feature the USB Type-C port, better charging option, improved camera that can create nice videos and photos in low-light environment and other interesting specs.

The 2016 Samsung handset models could be unveiled at MWC event next year.

Tesla iPhone Leather Skin Made from Car Seat

Users are used to iPhone leather skin however the latest accessories offered by Tesla are not ordinary. The company brings unusual leather cases and wallets [if you happen to own Sprint iPhone with bad ESN you can SIM unlock it]. They are made by Tesla that is well known for creating leather interiors for vehicles.

The company decide to use leftover leather from cars and make iPhone case from car seat. Such leather accessories are already in the market. The leather is with RFID blocking and it can be used with the iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus.

The case does remind of other accessories created from different type of leather. The main difference in the leather since Tesla offers Nappa grain leather used in cards and it has Tesla logo on it.

Apple Working on Micro LED Displays for iPhone and iPad

While Samsung is believed to bring Apple 3D Touch iPhone 6s feature to its next year’s Galaxy S7 device – Apple is believed to focus on Micro LED displays. This is a new technology that could come to iPhones and other company’s devices in the future.

Experts think that Apple has a secret facility in Taiwan and this facility is working on Apple Micro LED displays for AT&T iPhones and other gadgets. What is Micro LED? All current iPhone models come with LCD screen. Unlike LCD, micro LED displays are thinner because they don’t required the dedicated backlight option. They offer better color gamut but have both advantages and disadvantages.

For example, micro LED displays require a complicated manufacturing process. This is the main problem when it comes to their mass production. Experts are sure that since Apple needs millions of displays for its extremely popular iPhones [you can unlock any iPhone 6s AT&T device] and other devices – it could be hard to meet the consumer demand with micro LED screens that need the TFT procedure.

The Taiwan facility has to find the way to produce millions of micro LED displays and once this task is accomplished – Apple will be ready to release the new iPhone with such a screen. Could it happen in 2016? It’s unlikely to be too soon.

The company would most likely start with iOS 9.2 iPhone OLED screens sometimes in 2017 or 2018. As for mini LED displays, Apple could unveil them for Apple Watch or other products in the future.

Apple Samsung Patent War Continues After Samsung Agreed to Pay Millions

It seems that the Apple vs Samsung patent case study has finally come to an end. The Korean company was forced and seemed to agree to pay millions of dollars to the iPhone maker. Still the whole situation is not that simple as Samsung asks the U.S. Supreme Court to take on this case. What does it mean? The fight or battle [whatever you call the process between the two big rival companies] didn’t stop.

Users who read Apple Samsung patent war summary know that the most recent court decision made Samsung pay the iOS giant but Samsung doesn’t want to pay out any damages. Thus the company takes its right and appeals to the Supreme Court in the USA and the fight continues.

As Samsung believes the issue with patent cases is huge. The company wants to provide more information to jury to help them understand the patents. Apple vs Samsung war can last for many years and either force one of the companies pay for damages or not.

Customers would be more surprised if Samsung actually paid the $548 million to Apple as it was willing to do earlier this month [the money should have reached Apple on December 14th]. But the company tries to get its money back and appeals to the Supreme Court. If the court grants this appeal and the final decision favors the Korean company – the U.S. iPhone creator would have to repay everything back.
