Apple Pay Launches in India, Government Warns of Security Risks
Apple Pay has launched in India, enabling merchants using Razorpay to accept payments online and in-store without requiring card entry or OTPs. The service is available for eligible Axis Bank Visa and Mastercard credit cardholders, allowing contactless payments both domestically and internationally. Transactions abroad will use the card network, not UPI, and are subject to international usage settings and spending limits. Concurrently, the government has issued a warning to Apple users in India about sophisticated attacks, advising immediate updates for iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
