Apple Pay vs Google Wallet vs Tap to Pay
Yesterday I was out with the family at a restaurant and when it came time to pay, the server asked if I wanted to pay “with Apple Pay”. I was just a tiny bit bothered since I use Google Wallet. I asked “why didn’t you call it “Tap to Pay” or something?” What he said surprised me!
“In a day, I might have 50 people tap and 49 of them will use an iPhone!”
Wow, I had no idea! I thought the split was in the realm of 50-50 iPhone vs Android users!
I did some googling and browsing Reddit threads and there’s no consistency to who uses what, so I’ll assume that it really is a fairly even split but there are geographic and social pockets of each system. Weird!
