TfL warns Apple Pay users of fines for flat batteries
From Finextra –“Transport for London is warning Apple Pay users that they could end up paying over the odds for the tube journeys if their iPhone batteries run flat.
Apple Pay launched in the UK earlier this week, with its compatibility with London's public transport system trumpeted as a major selling point.
