This include the new Apple Pay feature which allows users to securely make payments via NFC. However, Apple Pay is only available on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus even after users updated their other devices with iOS 8.1 since the Apple Pay requires specific components that are only available on those two smartphones.
