Apple Pay does not solve a problem for me when shopping at a cash register. Maybe there would be slight benefit if I had a Apple Watch, which I don't.
It would be great if I could use it more online though. I think I used it once and I didn't have to input my name and address. Pecking this out on an iPhone is a pain.
- dogma1138 11y agoWhat problem is that? It's quicker than C&P it's more secure than a swipe, you can have all your cards on a single device and select the one which you want to use for each transaction (e.g. to get offers / discounts). The watch actually is quite more awkward than a phone to use, but Apple pay is definitely convenient, and if you forget your wallet allot it's quite a god send if it's widespread where you live (like it is atm in London). I can pay for all of my daily expenses with Apple pay atm, this includes transfer (TFL), food and coffee, cloths, electronics, groceries everything. Is it superior to contactless credit cards? The only big clear difference is that it's not capped in the amount (although some retailers might implement their own cap on contactless) whilst most credit cards limit the amount to anywhere between 10(HSBC debit) to 50GBP(Amex).

The phone is worth hundreds of dollars and if I have to futz with it at checkout there's a risk I will drop it. That risk is not worth it when I can pull a plastic card out of my pocket. If I had the watch at least I wouldn't have to fish the phone or a card out of my pocket.
