Apple has a ton of cool features it offers users when they buy a device.

In Zimbabwe, the iPhone is a popular smartphone, and its operating system - iOS - lets users conduct an array of tasks.

This includes everything from navigating with Maps to messaging and calling friends with FaceTime using a data connection.

Many great iOS features are not available in Zimbabwe, however, including Apple Pay.

Apple Pay lets users load bank cards and pay for items at a point of sale using their smartphone. It also lets users store loyalty cards, which they can present to earn shopper points and the like.

Cool features

Apple Pay is not the only Apple service that is not supported in Zimbabwe.
