Rule 36 violation if you're shopping where Amex isn't accepted.
a lot of good local non-chain restaurants (esp. asian) won't take it, neither does the costco anymore. also local small markets and auto shops

amex charges hella merchant fees, i guess

nah, apple pay is facing multiple competitors and they'll want all their phones to support it to further push adoption.

if it's a restaurant that accepts visa or mc i'm just not going to carry around wads of cash to pay my bill in 2015 sorry

i'd be pretty suspicious of any sit down restaurant where i'm paying $40-$60 that was cash only

other small business types, maybe i can feel you on that

always pay cash at service-oriented businesses to ensure that tips can be divided more easily and won't be reduced by credit processing fees

5S can only do Apple Pay if you have an Apple Watch, no NFC hardware in the 5S

Pay needs NFC to work

there are cash only shops that i avoid going to now because i never carry cash

u should clue them in to this new electronic currency that's really catching on, it has no fees and no chargebacks and everything is instant and 100% secured by math. i forget the name, it had something to do with thailand and anuses?

lol if your tip sizes are so small that you you think the cc company taking a few cents will put you below the acceptable tipping amount. for those that don't know how to tip follow these easy steps. say you have been out all night and the bill comes up to 84.73 round up to the nearest 5 or 0. in this example it 85.00 then multiply this by .1 then the result by 2 for a total of 17.00 tip.

well opinions vary on the use of it, but it would be nice as a Canadian to be able to use Apple Pay with my Amex. it would be neat I think.

credit card fees dont come out of the waiters tips when you laeve them on a card, but they generally are included on the w-2 whereas cash tips have to rely on being declared (although some states require a baseline of 10% of cash sales to be declared unless overidden by a manager). so yeah its more about taxes than anything. i used to prefer getting credit card tips so the restaraunt would just give me cash at the end of my shift and i wouldnt have to make change or w/e

if they released a 4" phone with touchid, nfc, and a newer A8 or A8 processor and in a non-plastic-toy finish we would probably swap both our 6 and 6s for one. maybe wait a year for them to stick 3d touch in it or something.

it'd probably be like the 5c so you'd get one and then it wouldn't update for 4 years

which i'm not really willing to bet on if it doesn't have 3d touch

pretty much why I mentioned potentially waiting for it. I think 3d touch is just a gimmick at the moment but could see Ive getting obsessed with it to further minimalize the visible UI and make non-3dt devices deal with undocumented buried interfaces for routine functions.
