Apple will apparently offer a rewards programme for Apple Pay users

Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a rewards programme to its Apple Pay contactless payment service, presumably offering long-term users discounts and voucher codes.

We say presumably, because there are no actual details surrounding the programme, other than the fact that it exists.

According to The New York Times, the Cupertino tech giant will unveil the rewards programme at Apple’s WWDC conference on 8 June, at least according to its two sources that know what’s going on behind the scenes.

We’re hoping that the new rewards programme will be unveiled alongside an announcement that Apple Pay will finally be rolling out to the UK and the rest of the world, though we’re not holding our breath.

Other tasty treats we can expect to see at WWDC are more details on the future of the Apple Watch, as well as out first look at iOS 9 and Apple’s new subscription music streaming service.

See you all right here, on 8 June.
