In other PayPal news:  PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) released a new PayPal Money Habits Study that sheds new light on people's attitudes and behaviors around money. In a survey of 4,000 consumers in the U.S., Canada, Germany and Australia, the study found that one third of adults in the U.S. have ruined a relationship over IOUs and are owed on average $450. A driving reason is discomfort around financial conversations; more than 50 percent of Americans find it awkward to ask their friends or family to pay them back. The survey also found digital wallets continue to gain popularity with one third of respondents preferring a digital wallet to a real one. Most people dislike dealing with checks (74 percent), and while cash is still king, mobile payments are on the rise with peer-to-peer (P2P) payments increasingly popular for IOUs.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) revealed that it entered into a new partnership for its Apple Pay mobile payments system with PayAnywhere, a credit card reader that is currently being used by over 300,000 locations all over the United States.  As part of the agreed upon partnership, Apple will exclusively be selling the latest version of the PayAnywhere Mobile Reader in Apple Stores starting next month, with the device to be sold at a price of $39.95.
