Apple Pay likely to debut in India next month — but without UPI

Apple seems to be taking India seriously. On the heels of launching the iPhone 18 Pro series along with the iPhone Duo, Apple is now interested in bringing Apple Pay to India.

Note that Apple hasn’t confirmed this yet, and the intel comes from renowned industry analyst Mark Gurman, whose columns on Bloomberg have given us a steady track of Apple’s future product plans. In his latest one, the Cupertino-based giant is finally preparing to launch its long-awaited contactless payment service in India as soon as next month.
