Apple Pay rumoured to be coming to Web and possibly desktop

The tech giant is said to be gearing up for the upcoming holiday season.

There have also supposedly been in talk of bringing the service to the desktop but no one has mentioned how that will work yet.

If this will ever come into fruition, we might hear more about it at WWDC happening in the coming months.
