@hayles (I wonder also if I’m in a bit of a bubble of some kind. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone other than one particular friend pay for anything using a phone or a watch.)
@word_geek @OpinionatedGeek Well, at the moment it’s US only, so I’m assuming that anything’s easier than filling out a bunch of paperwork and signing things with your quill pen in front of a Notary Public, which I believe is still the system over there đŸ˜€
@hayles I guess I just do it the other way around: the phone is a backup, the card—for me—is quicker and easier to pay with, as I don’t need to click anything or wait for Face ID.
@OpinionatedGeek Maybe my card is more accessible than yours!
@OpinionatedGeek Isn’t that a step backwards in convenience, though? Do you always have to double-tap on the side button and then wait for Face ID before it works? I’ve never actually used my phone to pay for anything in a shop.
Oh. So will the non-US version be contactless and not metal, I wonder? Switching to a non-contactless card would seem like a step backwards for most Europeans, I’d’ve thought… twitter.com/PenLlawen/stat…
