Friday Apple Rumors: Apple Pay May Launch in Australia Soon

Here are your Apple Rumors for today:

Watch: The Apple (AAPL) Watch will be released in India on Nov. 6, reports AppleInsider. The tech company announced that the smartwatch would be going on sale in India via its website in that country. However, it hasn’t announced what versions will be available or the prices. It also didn’t say where the Watches would be sold. The company only sells its products through resellers in Inida. The Nov. 6 release date for the Watch in India is the device’s only confirmed release for that month.

Button: Some iPhone 6s users are complaining that the Touch ID sensor on the Home button is too fast, BGR notes. The increased scan speed means that owners of the Apple smartphone aren’t able to access the lock screen when they press the home button because Touch ID scans their fingerprint too fast. To get around this, owners can press the power/standby button instead. There’s also the option of using a finger on the home button that isn’t registered with Touch ID to bring up the lock screen. Brining up the lock screen can allow users to check notifications quickly and gives them easy access to the device’s camera.

Pay: Apple Pay may be on its way to Australia in the near future, reports MacRumors. Several Coles and Woolworths locations in the country can be seen as having Pay badges on them when looking at Apple Maps. These badges are used to identify stores that accept Pay. The payment service hasn’t been launched in the country yet and it’s unknown why these stores have badges on them. It’s likely that they will work with Pay when it goes live in Australia and that they were accidentally given the badges on Maps early.
