You don't need to have TouchID enabled just to use the phone. I would imagine it would be required for Apple Pay though. Why would you not want to use TouchID for payments even if you had the option?

I still don't stand 100% behind TouchID. I'll be picking up the 6 or 6+ in November, barring any catastrophic problems after release.

Because the problem with biometric security features is, if that information is cloned or stolen, you can't get a new finger.

3D printers will make it even more so.

The only usefulness is if you could make pin-based transactions with apple pay and you can add OV/VGC. Perhaps use apay, then choose debit on the terminal, then enter pin. I've searched, but I haven't found any specs on apay allowing debit purchases. While it'd be great, I find it hard to believe there will ever be a day when you can purchase MO with an iphone. Hope I eat my words.

ApplePay only changes the ms game if they allow you to use iTunes credit to pay for items in other point of sales. Buy iTunes gift cards at office stores with bold and load up. Spend elsewhere. I highly doubt this will be the case though.

Right now I can hand my CC to my wife or daughter to use and no issues. I didn't think apple had multiple profiles to use for users but I see your point.
Why doesn't the USA finally catch up to the world have require pins for every purchase. I saw that when I lived in Brazil 10 years ago..

And you will still be able to do that. Apple Pay does not replace your physical plastic card, it supplements it. What is your problem here?

NO, the softcard doesn't hold money. you get your credits in your Serve account. if you swipe your Serve card, you won't get the $1 credit, you have to do contactless payment where applicable.
Since most of my grocery stores and WM don't have the contactless payment, I have not tried for MO and GC. but at WAG, I used contactless payment to take $1 off the purchase fees of my OVs and PPMC and those are credited back to my Serve account.

Some choose to see problems, especially when one has already established an opinion. No amount of reason can get through an undue ego.

Most of the cashiers know about NFC payments, and they don't ask for anything, just like it suppose to be.

I have done ten but not all of those are for OVs or PPMC since they limit to 2 which I am willing to abide. I buy their clearance school supplies for a little above one so they come out some cents after the $1 is credited to my account. I get the credits in 24 to 48 hrs after the transaction.
btw, as always YMMV as to how many you'll be allowed. I have friendly W stores.

I've done more than $2k purchases with ISIS. No problem there. Apple Pay is just another name for NFC payments. I don't think there will a be difference with others, cause they use the same NFC terminals at the same stores. So far I've done this at CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, -4.
