Apple Will Allow iPhones to Accept Contactless Payments by NFC

Apple is reportedly going to allow iPhones to start accepting contactless payments. This is huge news!

It will dramatically affect any card company and how they collect their fees – as well as companies like Square and other POS services.

Apple has reporting been working on this service since 2020, when it purchased a Canadian startup called Mobeewave. Mobeewave’s technology only needs an app and the phone’s NFC to work.

I expect that Apple will roll out such a service as part of Apple Pay.

Game changer!

Novak Djokovic Visa Cancelled Again! Please Just Leave Before it Gets Really Ugly

novak djokovic visa

Today Australia has cancelled the visa of Novak Djokovic again.

“Today I exercised my power… to cancel the visa held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so,” Immigration Minister Alex Hawke said in a statement.

Novak now has the right to appeal, but it isn’t clear if he will do so and if he will be able to play the Australian Open in the meantime.

Deportation means that Novak won’t be able to return to Australia for 3 years (thus missing even more Grand Slams for a while to come).

My Thoughts:

I must admit that at Grand Slams its always good to have the best players in the world there. However, he has lied on entering the country on several occasions and then thrown his own agent under the bus and blamed it on him. He must leave!

It will be interesting to see if he faces any repercussions in Serbia – as he admitted to breaking isolation laws.

Novak Djokovic Wins His Appeal in Court, but Should Get his Visa and Exemption Accepted

Novak Djokovic has won his appeal with the Australian Government over his visa refusal.

I think this whole situation stinks!

If any other tennis player in the world asked for this exemption then they wouldn’t have received it!
