Apple Pay couldn't be more convenient and hassle-free

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For purchases we can use at a retailer accepting credit cards, we happily use Apple Pay when they accept it. We often are making routine purchases at local businesses near our office, and some of the ones we most often frequent are able to accept Apple Pay, which is very convenient and which we appreciate considerably.

Pros

  • The double click which launches it couldn't be easier; you don't even have to open your phone and find the app.
  • It's pretty much fool proof from there, as just holding your phone near the reader is sufficient for success.
  • Haptic feedback ensures that I know the payment registered.
  • I have full faith and confidence that the transaction was executed securely.

Cons

  • The interface can be clunky at times when it comes to sifting through different cards, etc. If there are a lot, it can be unwieldy.
  • I find that it can be sometimes difficult to delete tickets or coupons/cards that I've already used.
  • I've had issues with train tickets in my Wallet failing to update if purchased before Daylight Savings time, resulting in missed trains.

Return on Investment

  • It saves time
  • Number one can't be overstated
  • Can't think of another.
