The Story in Brief
Gadgets360 reports Apple Pay could debut in India as early as late September or October. The service is expected to launch without UPI support, initially working only with Visa and Mastercard credit cards. This limits its appeal in a market where UPI dominates digital payments.
The Indian Opinion
The hype around Apple Pay's arrival is missing the real story. After years of delay, entering India without UPI is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. UPI processed over 17,000 crore transactions last year. The narrative that this will revolutionise payments is overblown. Watch whether Apple eventually partners with NPCI, that move will decide if Apple Pay matters here.
