In other e-Payment and e-Commerce News: Apple Pay could bring in anywhere from $300 million to $700 million in U.S. revenue in three to four years, depending on how fast Apple's AAPL, -2.62% share of credit-card transactions done with mobile phones grows, analysts say. Speculation over Apple's revenue generation from Apple Pay has continued since the iPhone 6 launch earlier this month.
