Apple Pay遭遇零售商联盟抵制

和Apple Pay不同的是，CurrentC还要再过数月才能启用。即使等到最终推出，也不能保证会普及起来。

Critics of CurrentC say it appears much more difficult to use than Apple Pay. Instead of contactless payment technology, CurrentC will rely on QR codes, a type of bar code that merchants scan to complete the transaction. It will also be an app that users must find and download from Apple’s App store.

对CurrentC持批评态度的人说，它看起来比Apple Pay难用很多。CurrentC没有使用无需接触的支付技术，而是依靠QR码，商家通过扫描这种条形码来完成交易。同时它也是一个应用，用户必须到苹果的应用商店上找到并下载它。

Apple Pay, on the other hand, relies on so-called near-field communication technology built into every iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. In contrast to using CurrentC, customers are not required to open an app or even unlock their iPhones when using Apple Pay.

而Apple Pay则依靠所有iPhone 6和iPhone 6 Plus内置的所谓近场通讯技术。和CurrentC不同的是，顾客在使用Apple Pay时不必打开一个应用，甚至不用把他们的iPhone解锁。

Mobile payments are still very young in commerce and shopping. In 2013, mobile proximity payments in the United States amounted to $1.6 billion, according to eMarketer, an industry research firm. That is but a fraction of the $4.26 trillion spent in brick-and-mortar stores that year.
