Pay for the goods by touching “iPhone” “iPhone”. Tap to Pay Now Available at Apple Park Visitor Center
Apple is already testing the Tap to Pay feature near its headquarters.
Recall that Tap to Pay was introduced at the beginning of the year, but it will be fully launched only at the end of the current year, and even then only in the United States for the first time.
Tap to Pay allows you to turn your iPhone into a payment terminal. As a result, you can pay for something or transfer money simply by touching one smartphone to another. Of course, the function is primarily designed for entrepreneurs.
Yesterday, a short video appeared on the Web showing how this feature is used in the Apple Park Visitor Center. Recall that this is a company store located next to the headquarters of Apple Park.

The author of the video writes that the Apple Park Visitor Center is one of the few company-branded stores in the US that works with Tap to Pay. So it looks like he’s not the only one. In any case, the full function in the US will work at the end of the year.

Alternative browser Vivaldi “takes a bite from the apple”: version for iPhone and iPad presented

The team of the increasingly popular Vivaldi browser announced the release of a stable version for the Apple mobile platform. The beta version of Vivaldi for iOS has been tested for several months.
As the developers promise, Vivaldi for iOS has its own unique look thanks to a set of built-in tools, including tabs, Express Panel, control panels, notes, reading list, and a tracking and ad blocker. The synchronization function between devices is also supported – bookmarks, Express panel, passwords, form data, history of entered addresses and notes are synchronized using end-to-end encryption.

The regular iPhone 15 turned out to be stronger than the vaunted titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max. At least JerryRigEverything’s junior model passed the bending test

A few days ago, the iPhone 15 Pro Max unexpectedly failed a durability test from the famous blogger JerryRigEverything. Now it’s the turn to try out the new generation of junior iPhones.
If we get straight to the point, both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus passed the bending test without any problems, like many generations of Apple smartphones before. For the iPhone 15 Pro Max, we recall that when force was applied, the back glass burst, which may be due to the greater strength of the titanium frame.
At the same time, the iPhone 15, like the older model, received the same unusually hard protective glass on the front. The material, with a hardness rating of 6 on the Mohs scale, leaves virtually no marks on it, something no other mainstream smartphone can offer, and it is not yet known how Apple achieved this.
