Survey reveals Apple Pay users experience problems at checkout
4/1/2015 5:19:59 AM
A survey conducted by Phoenix Marketing International shows that two thirds of Apple Pay users encounter difficulties using the system at checkout. Out of the 3,000 surveyed with an iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, 66% are using Apple Pay. Half of them reported that many locations, despite being listed as an Apple Pay partner, weren't ready to accept the payments made with the platform. Furthermore, 48% were dissatisfied with the time it took to process a transaction and described it as too long. In some cases, transactions were run twice or were just outright incorrect. Finally, 42% of the surveyed shared that more often than not cashiers weren't familiar with the Apple Pay system altogether. Bloomberg points out that a separate survey done by Citi Research confirms the complaints, too. Part of the reason for the problems is the shop's lack of iPhone 6 supported NFC point-of-sale terminals. In the US, retailers will have to upgrade their non-NFC terminals to new ones, which support the wireless standard by October as per a new regulation. In spite of the problems, Apple Pay usage increases thanks to the growth of iOS 8 adoption. Bank of America alone boasts some 1.1 million cards that are used by Apple Pay. Source |...
Lollipop arrives for LG G2 phones on Vodafone Italy
4/1/2015 4:26:11 AM
The Lollipop update for the LG G2 is expanding- starting from South Korea, it already hit US carrier Verizon and it has now arrived at Vodafone in Italy and Spain. The update seems to be limited to Vodafone devices. It will bump the software version to V30D and can be downloaded over the air or installed from a computer. You can also manually grab the file and flash it, if you know how. Note that only the 16GB model is getting updated in Italy and that ROM is not compatible with the 32GB model. You can flash the Vodafone Spain update for 32GB LG G2 phones instead. Or wait for the official OTA update to become available. Follow the source link for download links to the ROM files.

Carphone Warehouse will not carry the Apple Watch at launch
4/1/2015 3:42:15 AM
In another episode of Apple's marketing strategy for its Watch, we've now learned that Carphone Warehouse will be left out of the initial launch and won't be offering the wearable on April 24. The info has been revealed by no other than Graham Stapleton, CEO of UK's biggest cellphone retailer. Or as he cautiously put it: "We would love to be able to stock the Apple Watch. I've got to be careful what I say but I think they are just going another way with it. We have not been given the opportunity." Apple was previously negotiating with fashion retailer Nordstrom to carry the Watch and rumor has it that in the US Best Buy was denied the wearable as well. Apparently, Apple wants the Watch to be perceived more as a fashion statement, than a piece of tech and is marketing it accordingly. Aiming to create a more upmarket image for the Watch, Apple is reportedly planning to build dedicated Watch shops at high-end department stores in London, Paris and Japan. The company is also managing the stores directly, presumably to keep markups within the company. So far we've also learned that Apple has been clearing its own stores from any products remotely competitive to the Watch, namely various smartbands. Rumor also has it that you won't be able to just drop by a store and pick up an Apple Watch, instead you can just try it on and then order it...
