I used Uber a couple of times rather than use taxis when I last visited a couple of years ago, because of the cash vs. credit card issue.
The cars were nice and clean BMWs and Mercedes for UberX, way cleaner compared to the taxis.
I was able to use Apple Pay a couple of times but of course Octopus prevents credit cards from getting a bigger hold in HK, let alone mobile payments.
Still no plans to support Apple Pay directly on transport, I would imagine?

However this requires a HK-purchased S8, S8+ or Note8 https://www.octopus.com.hk/en/consum...out/index.html . Not for visitors.

If I were by myself, I would have put up a fight to get the slip corrected.
