One of the major announcements at last month's Apple event - aside from the introduction of two new smartphones and the company's inaugural smartwatch effort - was that of Apple Pay, a contactless, NFC-driven system that would allow iOS 8 users to seamlessly pay for goods at a wide selection of outlets. As excited as we were about this significant new initiative, Apple did make it clear at the time that Apple Pay wouldn't be hitting the scene until this month. With iOS 8.1 now upon us, we're likely to witness a rapid, concerted effort to support the new infrastructure, and this has begun quite close to home today with an update to the Apple Store app.
