The man behind the Tap to Pay function, the head of Apple Pay business left: he has worked for Apple for 8 years

CTOnews.com, May 28-Mark Gurman of Bloomberg revealed in the latest Power On Newsletter that Eric Hoffman, who is responsible for establishing partnerships with banks and other financial institutions in the United States as director of business development for Apple's Apple Pay, left and worked for Apple for eight years.

Hoffman mainly promotes the cooperation between Apple and a number of American banks and financial institutions, and its main contribution is the launch of the Tap to Pay function.

Apple launched the Tap to Pay feature in February 2022, which can be used in iOS 15.4, allowing US merchants to use iPhone and iOS App to support partners to accept Apple Pay and other contact-free payments.

With this service, users using supported iPhone devices can securely accept contactless payments and NFC-enabled Apple Pay credentials. With Tap to Pay on iPhone, merchants can accept contactless payments without using additional hardware.

9to5Mac, a foreign technology media, said that many Apple executives left last year, and their frequency has far exceeded the normal flow of talent. CTOnews.com attached the following list:
