A Bitcoin debit card with NFC chip will do the same as apple pay but even quicker.
I've had a NFC chip in my card for over a year now and have been wirelessly paying up to 50 euros without having to sign or introduce any pin code. Much quicker, just tab the terminal with your card and it's paid. Once again Apple pretends like they invented something that has been around for a very long time.

Maybe for some, but not for us. Specially not for me.

Not comparable. Apple Pay is improvement, while BTC is revolution. 
Really not comparable.
ApplePay will be worshipped as regular Apple product/service. It will be very usefull for it's users, but it's more like upgrade to current banking system, while Bitcoin is (r)evolution.
btc is costlier to use than a CC. I can have 0 interest rate on my balance by paying it, shops take the CC fees, and I am insured. BTC on the contrary? quite expensive... fees, network energy intake, money supply growth, risks etc... but innovation comes at a price and there is alt:). And if you want to be fair, everyone can get a second hand Igadgets almost for free nowadays... who care of a 5s

Even if you know a little bit about bitcoins you shouldn't have compared to it.
If Apple payments work the way they've shown... and processing fees can be reduced
dream on...
The answer is they are not even comparable. This is like asking if your company's private intranet is a threat to the HTTP protocol. It's laughable, really. The two are not even in the same league.
That's brilliant, favorited/saved. 
Apple fans said Apple Pay is better
Bitcoin fans said Bitcoin is better
But, me personally bitcoin is much more better
I only use Apple Pay if iPhone is very cheap & there are discount if you use Apple Pay
And Bitcoin have very big potential while Apple Pay don't have big potential as bitcoin

applePay is not a currency or an electronic cash system , bitcoin is .... bitcoin

You should ditch your iphone and get another then pay with a bitcoin app. We need more people to move away from Apple until they get the message.

Apple Pay's counterparty risk is smaller, at least for now
You can't compare bitcoins with it. It sure will get more attention to it but it's just like CC and others.
They are two completely different beasts. Apple pay is just another fiat payment processor whereas bitcoin is something that is completly revolutionary. Sadly Applepay will be adopted much quicker because there's not much that needs to be changed and it has the giant Apple behind it, but hopefully people will see the benefits of btc over time.
Marc Andreessen (the header of Andreessen Horowitz)think BTC is better than Apple Pay. How do you think about it?
Here are my thoughts:
- Comparing BTC to Apple Pay is like comparing USD to Apple Pay. BTC is a currency, Apple Pay is a transaction processing system. They're incomparable.
- As far as BTC use in retail vs. Apple Pay, I think Apple Pay could hinder BTC transaction adoption at the consumer level. For instance, Apple Pay would hurt BitPay and other BTC transaction systems.
- It's true, Android has had NFC for years, but they have lacked wide-adoption. Apple doesn't necessarily bring a new idea to the table, they just execute better. Hopefully Apple Pay will help broaden use of NFC as a whole, and with that, hopefully it will make BTC usage easier in the future. So it's not really BTC vs. NFC - it's more like Apple Pay and NFC could be a the stepping stone to mass BTC usage.
Lastly, Marc Andreessen is heavily invested in BTC, so it's obvious he would say that. He should have said that BTC is incomparable because it's a currency, but he wanted to make a broad (and stupid) statement I guess. My point being - read between the lines. He's biased. It's like Tim Cook saying Apple Pay is better than BTC, well no shit.
Yes is waste of time to camper something that has so little in common.
First of all I believe we are comparing against 2 different things. With apple pay i can only use it at stores that accept the payment system. With bitcoin I can virtually transfer to anyone. Btc itself is a currency but apple pay is just a payment system

Well of course he would say that, but in my opinion they're two very different methods. Apple is obviously centralised for a start, and I think they'll gain adoption quicker, but hopefully btc will catch up over time.
For me no comparison between them two but bitcoin comes as a winner always.
