The European Commission sent Apple a statement of charges in which it formally accuses the US company of abuse of a dominant position for limiting the possibilities for “Tap to Pay” contactless payment to NFC wireless technology, which in practice means restrict competition in favor of its Apple Pay service.

“We are concerned that Apple has illegally altered competition,” said the vice president of the Community Executive responsible for Competition, Margrethe Vestager, explaining Brussels’ opinion after the preliminary investigation that began in June 2020.

The “Tap to Pay” payment system is a service with which users can use an iPhone as a payment terminal in their businesses, so that customers can use their iPhone to pay just by bringing the mobile device closer.

Apple defends the need for these restrictions for security reasons regarding user data access, but Vestager has warned that the European Commission “takes security very seriously” but in its preliminary investigation has found “no evidence that point out such a risk.”

The owned purse owned by ConsenSys, Metamask, issued a warning regarding identity theft attacks that are being presented in Apple iCloud.

According to the company, the security problem is related to the default configuration of the device in which the sowing phrase of a user or the “Metamask vault with password” is stored in iCloud if the user has enabled the copies of Automatic security for your application data.

Through social networks, Metamamask explained that if passwords are not strong enough, there is a risk that they can lose their funds thanks to an attacker who reminded his identity.

The warning of the purse occurred in response to the reports of a NFT collector who calls itself “revive_dom” on Twitter, which declared on April 15 that all his purse, which contained $ 650,000 in digital assets and NFT, was deleted to through this specific security problem.

The MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet is carrying out an integration process with Apple Pay in order to be able to purchase digital assets through debit and credit cards directly from the mobile application.

With this, it will no longer be necessary for the user to have to transfer ethereum from another centralized exchange such as Coinbase or Binance to the application.

Currently the MetaMask platform uses two payment gateways, Wyre and Transak to carry out its card operations. Now, Apple users will be able to use their Visa or MasterCard tokens to purchase ethereum directly.

According to the published information, each user will have a daily limit of 400 dollars, as well as the “gas” rates will be much lower compared to the transactions that are commonly carried out on said platform.

The company stressed that it is not receiving any type of additional benefit with the gas charge, and that the integration comes to facilitate the transactions of Apple users.

The mobile payment platform of the American company Apple Pay is officially available in Peru and Argentina and will be competing directly with different locally developed virtual wallets such as MercadoLibre’s MercadoPago, Ualá, Modo and different cards that offer cryptocurrency withdrawal services.

On the official page of Apple in Latin America it is indicated that the service will be launched “soon”. However, the financial entities of both countries confirmed its operation, in addition to being added to the list of countries compatible with the Apple application.

They also pointed out that several clients have made reports confirming the registration of their cards. The compatible financial entities in Argentina are Banco de Galicia S.A., Banco Macro S.A., Banco Patagonia S.A., BBVA, Brubank, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). While in Peru, the following stand out: Banco de Credito del Perú (BCP), Banco BBVA Perú, Banco Internacional del Perú – Interbank, Rappi Bank Perú, Scotiabank Perú S.A.A.

Chile on the waiting list for Apple Pay

Last September the Bank of Chile announced the service of the Apple Play platform, but a few days later it revoked the information because the North American company had not yet completed the deployment of the mobile payment platform.

At this time it is not known when this wallet will be launched in Chile, despite the interest that many citizens may express, because only “the BCI has compatibility with Wallet to add the card”, therefore, it is required that the financial entities “Banco de Chile and Banco Itaú update their respective applications or give some sign of compatibility.

Apple will allow dating applications in the Netherlands to incorporate payments within the ‘app’ with third-party systems, with which the US company does not obtain commissions like the current 15 to 30%.

The American company took this measure after the Netherlands Consumer and Markets Authority published an order to allow payments with external systems to dating ‘apps’ in the European country.

Currently, all applications are required to use Apple’s internal payment system to remain in the App Store, with which the company guarantees security and earns commissions.

Apple explained that Dutch dating applications will have two special exceptions that will allow them to incorporate payments with external systems, although the company has assured that it will continue to obtain a commission for the transactions, still unspecified.

The developers of these applications will be able to direct consumers to the external website for which the developer is responsible for making internal payments or to incorporate a third-party payment system directly into the app itself.

The cryptocurrency exchange listed on Nasdaq, Coinbase, announced that its cardholders can pay using the Apple Pay and Google Pay applications from their mobile devices, becoming a fundamental fact of integration between the three most important brands in the United States. This integration expresses the great interest in promoting the adoption of digital currencies in the global economy.

The company reported, through a statement, that during this week they will begin to invite their “selected clients to start earning up to 4 % in cryptocurrency rewards.”

In addition, it pointed out that all selected customers who have approved the debit card in the US can start using it immediately through the Aplee Pay applications, even if they do not have the card in physical form yet.

The configuration of the card can be done by adding your card to the Google Pay application for all Google users, while from Aplee Pay they can add it from the Apple Wallet application or from the Coinbase application

Rewards

Among the benefits of using the Coinbase Visa card, prizes in Bitcoin stand out. US users will receive the return as a reward of 1 % in bitcoin for each purchase, 0.4 % in the cryptocurrency Stellar Lumens (XLM) that will serve to compensate the 2.75 % fee charged by the company for each transactions made with the cryptographic debit card.

Although the prize is less than the rate established as commission for the use of the card, the company established an important exception: “Any transaction they carry out using the stablecoin USDC does not include a fee”. Thus, all customers who make purchases in USDC earn 1 % in bitcoin.

The mix of the rewards service and the usability of the applications could become a major attraction to adopt the cancellation with digital currencies in the United States
