Viewpoint: Apple Pay Usage Report
Despite Apple Pay’s high-profile launch and much attention from the payments industry, recent First Annapolis primary consumer research suggests that only one in five iPhone 6 users has actually made a purchase with Apple Pay. This finding—based on a survey of 1,434 smartphone users we conducted in the first half of 2015—suggests that, while there is much energy and excitement surrounding mobile payments, actual consumer adoption and usage still has a long way to go.
