Apple Pay - Is it good?

[MasterA]

Does anyone use Apple Pay? Is it better than using a credit/debit card itself? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Well if this whole deal goes through and the U.S government gets what they want, the disadvantages will start outweighing the advantages itself.

I haven't used Apple Pay.

I have an iPhone 6s Plus and I can use Apple Pay. It's neat I suppose but it takes me the same amount of time to swipe my debit card. It was really useful one time when I forgot my wallet at home, I was able to pay with my phone. 🙂

It is supposed to be safer than using credit/debit cards, right?

The terrorist that shot up that place in California had an iPhone. The government can't get the iPhone open so they asked Apple to give them software to open the phone and they refused. So now they're trying to go to courts. The argument is that if the Apple people open this software to the government everyone's iPhones can be opened by cops and the Feds.
