Hey all, I just did a simple analysis on the day which Apple Pay was announced in the past (source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pay#Availability) and listed below are the results:
Mon: 1 (2.3%)
Tue: 27 (61.4%)
Wed: 10 (22.7%)
Thu: 6 (13.6%)
Fri: 0 (0.0%)
Total: 44 (some announcements covers >1 countries)
Inferring from the past data above and info from @nokia2003, announcement date for Apple Pay in Malaysia could be as follows:
2 Aug 2022
9 Aug 2022
For reference, Apple Pay in these countries/regions were launched in August:
Macau - 6 Aug 2019
Qatar - 17 Aug 2021
Hope these help. Looking forward to AP's launch in Malaysia!!
Apple particularly love Tuesday (local time) announcements.
I've read or seen video somewhere that mentions as follows.
Tuesday - news break out. Media starts scrambling to churn out the news.
Wednesday - talk of the town/socmed/everywhere = create hype
Thursday - Follow socmed ppl know already about it, time for word of mouth to non techie ppl.
Friday - Good amount of ppl know already, launch/sell it.
That's why u always see we can pre-order stuffs on Thursdays and then get it in our hands on Fridays.
