My guess is maybe a more affluent demographic has Apple phones? Not sure but I think that is changing. I think the Apple Pay vs. Android Pay war will be a game changer (in Android's favor) in the coming years.
Apple has a hold on the US market, because we ARE more affluent. It is a status symbol.

Samsung has the right idea on the pay system. Forget NFC, use the mag stripe reader. Compatible with 90% of readers as is.
