Apple begins its work of integration of Mobeewave |igeneration

Almost a year after its acquisition, the first signs of integration of Mobeewave into Apple are visible.This Montreal start-up has found a way to transform a smartphone with NFC into a payment terminal.You just need to put your contactless card or another smartphone with contactless payment on the back of the device to pay, as we would on a dedicated payment terminal.

Before its acquisition by Apple, Mobeewave had signed an agreement with Samsung to integrate its technology into Korean smartphones.It will finally be on the side of Cupertino that the idea could be found and two elements indicate that the integration work began.First, Apple became the owner of the company's domain name on July 7, as MacRumors noted.

Mark Gurman also reports in his latest newsletter a recent job offer from Apple who betrays the work in progress with Mobeewave.This offer published last May is based in Montreal, where the start-up was.It is intended for the team dedicated to contactless payment technologies within the Tim Cook firm and requests an engineer with experiences in mobile payments and payment protocols.

We do not yet know what Apple account does Mobeewave, of course, but it is likely that the company intends to integrate this functionality into its ecosystem.What to allow any iPhone user to accept payments with their smartphone?It could be useful for small shops, or even for reimbursements with friends.Even if the work has started, you should not expect to find these functions quickly.Even never: Apple can very well decide along the way to cancel everything.
