Apple Pay is coming to more US retailers in the coming weeks and months, as Apple announced today that Target, Taco Bell, and other stores will support its digital payment service.
In fact, waving your iPhone or Apple Watch over a credit card terminal of 74 of the top 100 US retailers will initiate Apple Pay, according to Apple's press release this morning.
The wider adoption of Apple Pay nationwide makes it easier – and safer – to pay for goods, with authenticating done via Touch ID or, on newer iPhones, Face ID. The last four digits of your credit card number are also masked via Apple Pay.
Of course, this new rollout doesn't necessarily mean retailers won't support Android Pay, too. Often we see impartiality when it comes to accepting various NFC payment system, and, technically, all retailers accept Samsung Pay due to its more universal MST technology.
Apple Pay 2019 timetable in the US
Apple Pay is going to blanket Target at all 1,850 locations across the US, says Apple, and its expansion is estimated to be complete "in the coming weeks."
Taco Bell's more 7,000 stores and Jack in the Box's 2,200-plus locations will get Apple Pay "in the next few months." For the record, fast-food rivals McDonald's and Burger King are already on the official Apple Pay list.
New connivence stores will get Apple Pay starting today. Speedway’s 3,000 locations and Hy-Vee's 245 stores join existing partners 7-Eleven, Duane Reade, Wallgreens, and late 2018 addition CVS Pharmacy.
