The new Apple Pay-compatible Square reader works wirelessly with a rechargeable battery, or can optionally plug into a Square Stand USB hub for power.
Apart from Apple Pay and other NFC payment solutions, the new reader can take payments from new debit and credit cards that use chip-and-PIN (or EMV).
While Square has geared up 100 local businesses with the new readers, several customers who signed up to pre-order Apple Pay-ready devices earlier in 2015 were recently notified that some orders would not ship until early 2016.
