Apple Retail Stores Offering Self-Checkouts Beginning This Week
October 31, 2011
Beginning Friday, whenever you visit an Apple Retail Store, you’ll be able to make a purchase without first finding an Apple employee. Instead, you can make your purchase using your iPhone, according to Cult Of Mac.
The new program, which was also confirmed by MacRumors, will work with a new app Apple will launch plus your Apple ID. Once you’ve made a purchase, you’ll receive an email. From there, you can simply walk out of the store with your purchase.
Of course, as Cult Of Mac reminds us, most Apple Store products are kept behind lock and key. Therefore, you’ll most likely have to show your paid receipt to someone before actually receiving your new item. Plus, don’t be surprised if you’ll be showing that receipt to someone on the way out too.
Still, this news is kinda cool, don’t you think?
