That's what is surprising to me, the chips are new in the US so the terminals that support them are also all brand new. I'd say it's a good 7 seconds on average

That's what is surprising to me, the chips are new in the US so the terminals that support them are also all brand new. I'd say it's a good 7 seconds on average, but sometimes even longer. Apple Pay is 1 second or less most of the time (though sometimes you have to sign so that slows things down).
