> I'm curious to hear the additional monetization Apple plans to get for this.

I don't think there will be any extra monetization - this is presumably just an API in a future iOS 15.x that can be enabled via entitlements Apple assigns, so unless Stripe says "extra 0.3% fee for iPhone PoS payments" they likely won't make any money from it. Think of it as a funnel for getting the last 20% of businesses to accept Apple Pay.




> "getting ... businesses to accept Apple Pay"

This isn't just Apple Pay. You can tap your plastic credit card to pay using this. This is all contactless transactions, not just Apple Pay.
