It’s incredible that UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, so many vendors don’t give a crap about Apple Pay, while in Australia, any terminal supporting eftpos supports Apple Pay more or less by default. It’s such a bless not having to carry physical bank card with me.
I think things changed a lot. I'm going to US every year and if few years ago I had to have some cash around, now these square mini POS are everywhere, saw even street musicians have them.
Went to NYC and DC this month, used 0 cash, with a very few exceptions (hotels, a vending machine and laundry where I had to use the card), I used only Apple Pay.
Also, in my home country I use exclusively apple pay everywhere for almost 5 years already. I got the magsafe wallet for my ID and one physical card in case of something (like dead battery), and that's all. no other wallet needed.
Wait till American's discover affordable "non socialist" healthcare...
That's debatable... our european healthcare is not free (we pay around 10% of income for this, meaning that we can end up paying more than a premium private in the US) and it's not very accessible (if you need something more than GP, you end up going private because waiting lists are 4+ months for a damn CT, not saying for surgeries or other serious stuff. That's why, lots of people go fundraising for treatments in the US or Turkey...). Tbh it's not a good system, and I'm European.
Also fun fact, if for various reasons you're not insured, the hospital bills are quite similar with the ones in the US
