There's no word on why the company has made this rather sudden decision. However, competitor Walgreens still supports Apple Pay. Does this affect your decision to shop at certain pharmacy stores?</p> <p>Source: MacRumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/25/cvs-disabling-nfc-apple-pay/)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27933"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3fd2a64d/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
