Apple’s Project Breakout finally broke out a week ago today at Apple’s WWDC. It was then that Apple confirmed what was probably one of the worst kept secrets in payments: it would enter the buy now, pay later (BNPL) space with its own product, Apple Pay Later. It didn’t take long for the media to spin into a Pay Later frenzy, with headlines suggesting that the FinTechs in the space — namely Affirm, Afterpay and Klarna — are more or less toast, that Pay Later is (Afterpay owner) Block’s and Affirm’s biggest nightmare.
