Misleading: Giving the wrong idea or impression.
I don’t think it’s misleading, if they planned to implement it but had to hold it back. The real initial mention was in 2016, in 2017 you were told in January that it would be after the current account launched.
And not that you’d notice, but it’s not the only thing they had to delay because of the current account launch.

I’m waiting until after the prepaid service is closed and if no sign of Apple Pay after that I’m going to use Starling as main bank. I will keep an eye on Monzo and revisit in 6 months to a year to see what developments have happened (not just Apple Pay ones).

In my opinion it all boils down to some things taking longer to implement due to Monzo doing everything where possible in house with the hope that when they are much much larger it will benefit them greater having that level of control.
I wonder if Monzo could sell their in house processor to other companies as another revenue stream?

Seems sensible.
I think, passionate as many people are on here, we should realise that Monzo won’t be for everyone. If you need Apple Pay now, then there are alternatives available and Monzo isn’t (currently) the bank for you.

Oh my god, please don’t 
I agree that it feels instinctively wrong, but could you expand on why? (I’m still mulling it over).
Just because it’s taking months to release anything,
Imagine if they had to start creating more fixes to the payment system in the background
We would have to wait even longer

I would prefer to use Monzo as my main bank account (i don’t know why, head vs heart thing perhaps) but it just isn’t ready yet for me to use every day. I will watch with interest at the developments though if April comes and no updates on Apple Pay.

Just a gentle reminder of how futile comparing the challenger’s features are

It allows you to top up via Apple Pay which is what that is probsbly referring to

How ironic would it be if they’ve just leaked the launch?

Yes those are apps that let you use Apple Pay to pay them.

Does anybody know when Apple Pay is launching?

And that makes it okay?
Maybe the delay is at Apple’s end?

Do you work somewhere where every goal is perfectly kept 100% and meets user expectations and demands 100%? Is every Kickstarter wrong for experiencing issues?
What’s the okay answer when you aren’t getting the feature yet, no matter how much you protest?
As previously mentioned, there may be legal reasons why they can’t disclose more. We can’t tell if it’s just a long windup, but that comes down to whether you trust Monzo as a company.
