Speaking on behalf of the home improvement retailer, company representative Steve Holmes toldBloomberg that his company plans to introduce in-store support for Apple Pay, but declined to
specify an exact rollout timetable. Today's announcement comes hours after media outlets relayed customer complaints of recent changes to Home Depot's NFC payments protocol. The
retailer's point-of-sale terminals officially accept PayPal mobile, but iPhone 6 owners reported that many locations have been processing Apple Pay purchases since the service launched in
October. Within the past week, however, customers who normally use Apple Pay at their local Home Depot discovered the chain abruptly reversal of
policy. AppleInsider received word from one customer who reached out to Home Depot via email regarding the apparent change. In response, the retailer said it is
"evaluating a number of new payment methods, including a number of mobile payments but have not made any permanent decisions and we cannot confirm whether these technologies are fully supported at
this time."Read the whole story at Apple Insider »
