Average Joe will pick convenience over security every time, unless it's such an absolute shambles that they actually fear (or have been convinced they should fear) using it. Not to mention the already-formed habit/association of "hey, I'm paying for this, better whip out my card".
- abalone 10y agoTrue, but Apple Pay is also at least as or more convenient than tapping a card. You (theoretically) don't ever have to enter PINs, you get a transaction confirmation on your own device, and if you have an Apple Watch you don't even have to pull anything out of your pocket.
- vilmosi 10y ago>>> You (theoretically) don't ever have to enter PINs, But practically, for day to day expenses, it's not required. >>> you get a transaction confirmation on your own device As opposed to getting a confirmation on the terminal... >>> and if you have an Apple Watch you don't even have to pull anything out of your pocket I don't know if you're talking from experience, but those terminals are usually facing up and/or towards you. It's uncomfortable to bend your wrist like that.
- dpark 10y ago> if you have an Apple Watch you don't even have to pull anything out of your pocket How is this PIN/touch ID protected, then?
- eric_h 10y agoYou unlock the watch with a pin on the watch itself or touch id on your iPhone. It locks itself automatically when you remove it from your wrist.
