Cook offered information concerning the service’s performance during Apple’s first quarter fiscal report, claiming that Apple Pay accounts for more than two out of three mobile payment dollars spent across its myriad networks.

As such, Apple Pay has not yet found mainstream success, but is gaining momentum toward achieving this goal. Apple Pay is expected to face significant competition from Samsung in the future, as the company may be preparing to launch its own mobile payments platform.
