Market Press Release – January 13, 2012 11:40 am – Mobile phone technology has made some huge leaps forward over the past two years with many handsets able to perform functions that we once never thought would be possible. One area where we will see a big increase in 2012 is the ability to pay for a variety of services with your mobile handset and the iPhone 4S is one of the first devices to boast an application that enables you do this.
International coffee chain Starbucks has been around for over 30 years with most towns and cities boasting at least one of their outlets. The company have recently launched a new application for the iPhone 4S in the UK that means customers can pay for their food and drinks with their phone. The application has actually been available in the US for nearly a year but this is the first time that UK users have had access to the service. Although the iPhone 4S does not offer NFC payments this new services works by linking Starbucks card holders details to the application. This in turn allows you to walk into any one of the 700 nationwide outlets and easily pay for the products that you purchase. In order for this to work you need to have credit on your account with the company then all you need to do is choose your order and simply scan your phone at the till. The amount of your purchase is then debited directly from your current balance. This is likely to be the first of many similar applications launched for the phone and it further adds to the appeal of an already impressive model.

The iPhone 4S is not the only handset that will enable UK customers to purchase goods with their mobile phone. The new Samsung Galaxy Nexus offers NFC technology which basically means that your bank details are stored on your phone and at selected retailers you can use your phone just like a debit card. The launch of this model coincides nicely with the London 2012 Olympics and organisers are keen to promote NFC during this period with millions of potential customers flocking to the UK to see the sporting action. Several major retailers will be offering NFC payment facilities during this period as a way of introducing the public to this innovative new method of payment. If the trial period is successful then by the end of the year many of our favourite shops and outlets may offer this service permanently. The Galaxy Nexus is just one of several new phones that incorporate NFC with many more due for launch throughout the year including the highly anticipated iPhone 5.
The new Starbucks application for the iPhone 4S is certainly an indication of how many retailers will work in the future whilst the 2012 Olympics gives further opportunity for UK smartphone users to pay for products with their mobile devices.
