The first beta of iOS 8.1 came out yesterday and although it doesn’t show a large amount of changes that would be visible to regular uses, one developer has discovered several interesting strings and hidden settings. Hamza Shood got a screenshot of a hidden Settings pane for Apple Pay. This pane will let users manage their entered credit and debit cards they have linked to Apple Pay, as well as set their default card, billing and shipping address, phone, and email. The same screen also links to a privacy disclosure.
While Apple has only announced so far that Apple Pay will be compatible with iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and Apple Watch, Sood also discovered something suggesting the next-gen iPads will have Touch ID support and Apple Pay. It’s not clear at this point if the new iPads will have NFC tech for POS transactions or if Apple Pay support on these devices will be limited to apps, but this supports rumors that the new iPads will have Touch ID.
