Apple again attacks Australian banks for attempting to block Apple Pay adoption in the country

<p>Apple has hit walls introducing Apple Pay into Australia with the banks arguing Apple’s business practice was anticompetitive (https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/28/apple-pay-australia-negotiate-with-apple/). The banks demanded access to the NFC hardware in the iPhone to be able to offer competing contactless mobile payments services. Apple refused and the banks went to court.</p>
<p>Although draft rulings indicate that the court will rule in favour of Apple, the final decision will be announced in March. Today, Apple continues to lay on the criticism (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-06/apple-hits-out-at-australian-banks-over-apple-pay-boycott-motive) accusing the Australian banks for attempting to ‘delay or even block’ the Apple Pay rollout.</p>
