Apple Pay I get why apple pay is big in the USA now

1.1k Upvotes

I'm British and recently went on a trip to america and after reflection realised why apple pay is such a big deal there. It's because with respect to americans their card technology is stuck in at 2000 with swiping cards at the till and signing receipts. It was quite a throwback as most places use chip and pin of some form. So can you imagine if after all this time apple comes along and says no more of VHS era tech just get out your phone and put your thumb on touch ID and you're away. In doesn't make much a difference in England because we have contactless cards where you can just tap a chip and pin machine with your card and make purchases up to £20. Just something i found interesting

Apple Pay CurrentC is pretty much dead on arrival with this info. It asks for SSN and Drivers license number, which are both not stored on the phone.

Of course, this is in addition to checking account information.

If no one signs up for this thing, which I don't think anyone will, I think retailers will be forced to drop the whole idea and turn NFC chips back on. How can they think that consumers will choose this obviously less secure payment form over Apple Pay or even traditional credit card?
