I don't know how others here view Apple Pay, or how often they use it, but I am finding it more and more useful and prevalent all the time.
The latest example was when we took our cat to the vet just a week or so ago. They have us humans wait in the parking lot and come out and pick up the pet from the vehicle, and bring it back out when they are finished, and in the past the payment was made over the phone and by providing a credit card number.
Now they will send a text, and it provides a link for a payment to be made immediately using Apple Pay. Sitting in my car, when the vet is finished and ready for payment, by the time our cat is back in the car they've sent the text and I've made the payment. Really terrific.
I don't use Apple Pay very much in other places yet simply because it is still inconvenient to confirm the payment with the phone while wearing a mask, and not all merchants offer the Apple Pay option. But I can see it becoming more and more common.
And I almost always use it for online purchases if the option is presented. Saves providing shipping and billing address, makes the purchasing process much quicker and easier. Nice.
