- dhosek 6y agoI'm not an Apple card customer either, but I use Apple pay with my cards usually on my watch, although once in a while it doesn't work at a terminal and I have to pull out my phone (which is annoying since facial recognition doesn't work with a mask on). I understand similar things exist for Android.
- Nursie 6y agoSure, but if you have an Apple card you're going to have an Apple phone, most probably, and that can do the contactless bit for you. Not sure if apple cards and android phones work, but android-pay is the other option for most cards. Both are more secure than using the card directly with contactless - you have verified to your phone that it is you using it, by logging in with face ID, touch ID, passcode, PIN, whatever. It's a form of cardholder verification that is missing when you use the card. That was my (slightly snarky) point - you don't need contactless on the card when you have a smart device that does it better.
