hi all, I just want to give all blind apple iOS users a heads up. if your thinking about purchasing something from the apple store app on your phone, and you want to use apple pay to buy a product, you won't be able to do so. I have confirmed that the pay with apple pay option in the apple store app is either missing, or voiceover is not seeing it.

I thought Apple Pay was only accessible on the 6 and 6plus? Are you using one of those phones? If so, then yeah, I suppose that could be a big problem.

I have an iPhone six plus and yes, not being able to use apple pay in the apple store flagship app is a big problem. I wanted to make a purchase and wanted to use it.

Hi. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I think Apple Pay works like this. for in apps, you can use apple pay on any iOS device as long as the app you want to pay for something in supports it. For physically buying something in a store, apple pay can be used directly on an iPhone 6 or 6+ or on any iPhone, which I think is 5 and up that supports the apple watch. So if you have an iPhone lower then a 6, but you have an apple watch, you can still use apple pay in stores, because even though your iPhone does not have the needed hardware, your apple watch does.
