The war between the South Korean company Samsung and the American Apple is nothing new. All of us here know the battles that both companies have had throughout their history and this time it is not just another battle for a patent or similar, it is about Apple's non-approval of the Samsung Pay Mini payment tool.
Today we have another open front between companies, banks and the payment options themselves through NFC. Yes, this is something that adds and adds value to current devices that have support for this payment method and Samsung wanted to reach all devices, whether or not they are compatible thanks to the Samsung Pay Mini application, application that will not be implemented in iOS for obvious reasons and is that Apple has its own payment method, Apple Pay.
On this occasion we cannot say that the rivalry between the two benefits the user, but it is logical that Apple does not accept this application that reminds us a lot of the one used by PayPal for this type of online payments. ETNews has been the medium in charge of launching this news and it confirms that it has tried to add the application up to two times, but In the face of Apple's refusal, it will be implemented on Android devices.
In the middle of the battle for payment services through the smartphone, tablet, wearables and other devices compatible with NFC and Contactless, it is clear that this could not go well in any way for South Koreans. On the other hand and leaving aside the news The app is expected to launch in early 2017 Samsung Pay Mini in South Korea and little by little it is being implemented in the rest of the countries.
