Not exactly.
"Millions of store locations already accept Apple Pay, and although Apple doesn't charge merchants fees to accept the payment method, you will still pay transaction fees as you would typically on any other credit and debit sale. Credit card swipe fees in the U.S. range from 2 percent to 4 percent."
As I understand it, the merchant doesn't pay for using the Apple Pay method, but they still pay the bank for the usual credit card fee. So, what's the big deal?
