Yes, Apple accepts Afterpay both online and in physical stores, primarily by integrating it through Apple Pay, allowing you to use the Afterpay virtual card in your digital wallet for purchases, though direct acceptance at the official Apple Store might vary by region or promotion. You can set up the Afterpay digital card in your Apple Wallet to tap and pay in-store or use Apple Pay for online checkouts where Afterpay is a payment option.

Yes, you can use Google Pay on an iPhone, but its functionality differs from Android; you primarily use the Google Pay app for online payments, sending money (in supported regions like India/Singapore), and managing cards, while in-person tap-to-pay relies on the native Apple Wallet for cards linked to your Google Account, as Google Wallet isn't natively available for iPhone NFC.
