Apple Pay: how it works FAQ for iPhone 6 and Apple Watch. I would love it if Starbucks had NFC payments rather than the Starbucks card bar code scan they use today. If you think about it, why should there be a separate Starbucks card? #

Its success is based on whether it is good enough accessory.#
