After months of surmising what Apple has been up to, we finally see what Apple has up its sleeve. For those in the know, like us at Atlas Rewards, we knew the iWatch, larger display NFC-equipped iPhone and Apple payments were all on its way but to have them released all at one time shows that Apple is back in the game.
Now that Apple has played catch up with Android and everyone is “applicious” again are they really back in the lead?

According to various sources*, PayPal currently leads the way with mobile commerce is up to 79% while Google wallet sits at 40%. Apple’s Passbook doesn’t have a long way to convert millions who are using it to make a switch from loyalty passes and digital coupons to payments. Starbucks and Sephora have already hundreds of thousands of users to easily pave the way.
