iPhone owners will be able to pay for purchases at Starbucks shops beginning next year, reports Re/code. Apple Pay exec Jennifer Bailey said Apple and Starbucks will begin trialling Apple Pay in some stores this year, with the broader roll-out to all U.S. stores expected some time in 2016. Bailey did not say if Apple Pay will include Starbucks' customer loyalty program. Apple Pay is available on the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, and 6s Plus. Apple's mobile payment service launched last October at 700,000 locations and has slowly added more retailers and banks over the last twelve months. Starbucks maintains its own mobile app and mobile payment service through which customers can earn rewards. Chili's and KFC also plan to support Apple Pay in 2016.
