Analysis of the pre-existing apple wallet


With Wallet, you can use passes on your iPhone to check in for flights, get and redeem rewards, get in to movies, or redeem coupons. Passes can include useful information like the balance on your coffee card, your coupon’s expiration date, your seat number for a concert, and more.With iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus or later, you can also add credit and debit cards to Wallet to pay for purchases using Apple Pay.

When entering the app you are directed to that of a homepage whereby you are able to select whether to use Apple pay, or passes. 

Apple pay-Apple Pay is a contact payment technology as well as a feature on the latest iPhones and Apple Watch. It pulls your credit cards, debit cards, and other sensitive-payment data from the Wallet app, enabling you to use an iPhone 6, 6S, SE or Apple Watch as a wallet at store checkouts. (Apple pay only allows you to use this contactless payment on stores in which validate the app-which is very few).







To make payments you have to download apps within the app, not only does this take up valuable storage but it also increases the click count massively. Limited stores is also one reason in which I belive apple pay isn't successful. 

A wallet format is formed within the app resembling that of the previous usage.The tab must be then clicked and a bar be scanned in order for payments to be made. A factor in which leaves no real relevance.


Issues with the app:



  • Click count is high
  • Cannot use the app for all payments
  • More hassle than getting out your card
  • Safety

Positives:



  • Good way in which to store vouchers-lets you know when they're about to run out 
  • Lets you pay online instantly for goods
