Within the follow-up tweet, he said, “This doesn’t work in Edge or Chrome on that newest macOS beta as a result of I assume it requires the third social gathering render engines to be up to date whereas Edge and Chrome on iOS use Safari’s render engine.”
Though Moser doesn’t point out Firefox, different customers seen Apple Pay compatibility with the browser earlier than the discharge of iOS 16 beta 4. A put up on Reddit from earlier this month reveals an choice to pay with Apple Pay in iOS 16 beta 2 whereas utilizing Firefox. One other consumer on iOS 16 beta 3 says they’ve the choice to pay with Apple Pay on Firefox as effectively. We’re not sure of when Apple began increasing assist for Apple Pay, and to which browsers.
Apple Pay nonetheless isn’t accessible within the newest macOS beta, as per Moser notes, that is doubtless as a result of Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all use Safari’s rendering engine, WebKit, on iOS on account of Apple’s necessities. Third-party browsers are free to make use of their very own engines on macOS, so we’d not see assist for Apple Pay outdoors of Safari on Macs anytime quickly, in line with The Verge.

The Digital Markets Act is ready to enter impact within the spring 2023, and imposes a algorithm on giant firms, like Apple, Meta, and Google, to advertise competitors with smaller entities. A draft of the brand new laws obtained by The Register particularly goes after firms that pressure app builders to make use of their very own rendering engine. Whereas this alteration could possibly be a sign that Apple’s at the very least trying to bend to the upcoming guidelines, the corporate isn’t more likely to go down and not using a battle — it incurred tens of millions in charges earlier than complying with the Netherlands’ guidelines on in-app cost programs in Dutch relationship apps.
