MLB Thinks so....



Phone 6 Will Allow Fans To Buy MLB Tickets 

Through Apple Pay 

So far, Apple said, “innovative merchants and service providers on board” with Apple Pay include Panera Bread, OpenTable and Starbucks. “Joining by the end of the year: Disney Seamless, Instacart, Nordstrom, Chipotle and MLB.com,” Apple said.“Currently, making purchases on a mobile device is tedious at best,” the company said. “Apple Pay is also going to make buying stuff through apps easier, more secure and private.”

Apple Pay will be able to store a user’s credit cards for instant use at a number of participating retailers, including McDonald’s, Starbucks, Wallgreens and Macy, and to make online purchases through select apps.

One of those apps is MLB.com’s “At Bat,” which will allow fans to instantly purchase tickets to Major League Baseball games.

Details on how exactly the process will work are scarce, but it will be available for download when the

 iOS 8 update hits Apple Store shelves Sept. 17.

Apple: Tim Cook Introduces ‘Apple Watch,’ Starting at $349, Available ‘Early Next Year,’ Does Payments

There will be three different editions of Apple Watch, including one with an aluminum frame, called “Apple Watch Sport,” one with stainless steel, called simply “Apple Watch,” and another in gold and rose gold finish, called “Apple Watch Edition.” They start at $349 and will be available “early next year.” Some subdued response to that, a bit of disappointment echoing through the room. But Cook insists it “is certainly worth the wait.”

 

Although formal specs for battery life for Apple Watch were not discussed, an Apple staffer at the demos following said the the company expects it to go for a day and to get charged overnight.
