In other Apple Pay news, Bloomberg Business is reporting that big-box DYI home improvement retailer Home Depot is planning to add official support for Apple Pay soon. Some of the chain’s 2,000+ stores had been able to accept Apple Pay in the past since they had compatible point-of-sale systems, but those locations are temporarily blocking Apple Pay transactions until the full rollout is complete.
