> Later this year, US merchants will be able to accept Apple Pay and other contactless payments simply by using iPhone and a partner-enabled iOS app

The target user is a US-based merchant. Most likely, it's a small business, perhaps a sole proprietorship, that uses a small Square reader today. This gives that business one more way to accept payments, but without the extra hardware.

A business with multiple employees/points of sale has alternatives. This is probably not the solution for them.
