What is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay allows the user to pay for purchases at stores using their iPhone! Apple’s new Apple Pay is very convenient and we’re seeing more and more businesses accepting it, including Valley iRepair! The iPhone 6/6 Plus has near field technology built in which allows the phone to conduct business transactions with pay devices that have near field readers.  Many businesses have them or will soon!

Now available ONLY on iPhone 6/6 Plus (Apple Pay in stores and within apps) AND iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3 (Apple Pay within apps)
