Delusional. A bigger screen isn't in any way copying and I doubt you'll find many quotes from Apple saying that they're not the way to go.
Apple launch Apple Pay
Samsung then launch Samsung Pay, not Samsung Cash, or Samsung Money or Samsung anything else Samsung Pay.
I mean come on, you're wearing the emperors new clothes.

Well then you can say Apple copied Loop Pay with Apple Pay, not Apple Cash or Apple Money or Apple anything else, just like when it copied Samsung's Ativ S with it's iPhone 6. The Samsung S6 has Loop Pay as well as NFC which allows it to be used with not just NFC readers but also millions of regular magnetic strip card readers that already in used in retail outlets. That is game changing.

It's great that the Samsung can be used with regular magnetic strip card readers, which we don't use anymore, can you explain how it does that? Genuinely curious, does it have a magnetic stripe on the phone that drag through the reader?

Seems to work in the same fasion that current contactless cards do, S6 being the first phone to have it in built, whilst others will require a case.
The bonus is it works with current card readers, unlike paypal/apple/google.
Edit - Seems Android pay is on the way

It doesn't work with Chip and Pin so good luck with the mag strip
"Yes. You can add chip cards to your LoopPay account today and use them at mag stripe readers (MSR) just like any other payment card. However, if the merchant POS terminal is configured to accept EMV cards, you will be instructed to use the physical card to make the transaction via the chip and PIN card reader. LoopPay will soon be announcing a solution that will address this inconvenience. More information on LoopPay and EMV."

I've just read how it works and that isn't going to fly here. Fine with no chip and pin, useless otherwise, when was the last time you swiped a credit card let alone convinced a sales assistant that your phone will do that instead by playing a tune.

Nice try. Only you would get confused over semantics. 
LoopPay uses Magnetic Secure Transmission.
MST technology generates changing magnetic fields over a very short period of time. This is accomplished by putting alternating current through an inductive loop, which can then be received by the magnetic read head of the credit card reader. The signal received from the device emulates the same magnetic field change as a mag stripe card when swiped across the same read head. LoopPay works within a 3-inch distance from the read head. The field dissipates rapidly beyond that point, and only exists during a transmission initiated by the user.

Not everywhere has chip'n'pin you know, especially in the US.
Many Chip'n'pin machines have a mag stripe reader on them, a requirement for reading cards that are not from the UK.
You're making yourself look really stupid now!

Magnetic Strip card readers are used all round the world actually, only this week I used one at KFC.

I agree that Samsung should have chosen a different name though, it does lack imgination.

He still said it though, but they had to wait until he karked it before they did it. If he hadn't died they would probably still have small phones.
Have you got over his death yet Jack, or do you still crack one out in his honour now and gain, for old time's sake?
