Speaking of Apple and financial transactions, the company has filed a patent for a person to person money transferring service that would pit the company against PayPal. Users would be able to pick a card from the Apple Wallet app, type in the amount to be transferred, select the recipient from nearby iPhone users, and use Touch ID to verify the transaction.
The entire process would use encrypted data to keep sensitive information away from any prying eyes. There is no word on when Apple plans on making this reality.
