I was just saying in another thread that Bitcoin devs and the community need to take the recent news of Apple pay as a positive thing.  It set the example that ease of use is the main thing holding Bitcoin back as security isn't the issue if users do the due diligence. 

Obviously Bitcoin would do better with if Governments got on bored but not if they want to regulate it to the point it's not decentralized and users aren't being tracked.  Bitcoin is open for business just not open to being overly regulated.

When merchants see that Apple Pay works but the transaction costs would be significantly lower with Bitcoin, they should ask Apple. It costs Apple mainly some ink and - voila - Bitcoin could be used with Apple Pay. I guess Bitcoin payment processors will be open for the project too.
