Mobile Pay: Walmart (NYSE:WMT) has no intention of accepting Apple Pay, MacRumors notes. A statement from the retail company says that it will continue to focus on Walmart Pay. This is the chain’s own payment service similar to AAPL’s Pay. WMT says that it intends for Walmart Pay to be the “exclusive form of mobile payment,” that it accepts in its stores.
Airmail 3: Researchers claim that there are security exploits in Airmail 3, reports AppleInsider. According to these researchers, the exploits may allow hackers to steal a person’s information. This could include the recipient’s emails, as well as their attachments. All of this would be possible just by having the person open a single email. The vulnerabilities are in the macOS version of Airmail 3. The researchers also note that it would be difficult for hackers to make use of them.
