Siri Expansion, who agrees more languages and countries should be added?

[Rob Phillips]

Debit cards and credit cards can also be used without your consent if the employee doesn't take care to check it's actually you who owns it. Apple Pay, to my knowledge, requires your phone to be accessed. Much more secure if you have Touch ID enabled. I'm not positive that it only works with Touch ID as it's not available in the country I'm in.

Apple Pay requires use of the TouchID sensor, even if the phone is unlocked.

Sure it is. Only takes me like 30 seconds to pay by cash or debit card.

Apple Pay is quicker than cash, and definitely quicker than credit/debit card if it takes you 30 seconds. Compared to a credit/debit card, it's a lot safer (no number to steal, no magnet strip to clone/copy). All it takes is putting your fingerprint on the TouchID sensor, and touching it to the credit card terminal. Even if your phone is unlocked, someone will need your fingerprint to activate it.

Once you've tried it, you'll have a better idea of whether it's better or not. do you have a phone with TouchID?

I think Apple to make a true contender needs to open up Sirir's abilities more like Google's and Microsoft's. Its great that they have many languages which allows more people to use Siri, but that usage is limited (as compared to say Cortana)

I wonder what it truly takes ($$ wise) to expand Siri to all those languages. Though if you want to be a global corp (which they are) seems the devices should work unless there are other limits on features imposed by local governments.

It takes about 5 seconds to pay with Apple Pay. Even faster if you do it with Apple Watch. And you aren't having to fish out a card from a wallet or purse.

And as noted repeatedly, it's actually more secure.

But continue on ...

It takes a lot of people a very long time to pay with cash.

Re: Siri Expansion

What if a dishonest employee at a store takes your debit card number and goes home and orders pizza with it? Can't do that with Apple Pay.

Doubt that l. Never give my debit card to a store employee.

That's why I only pay by check. Do you have a pen?

You do if you go through a McDonald's drive thru. There's still businesses that don't offer the swipe. They do it themselves. Debit card number theft happens a lot. It's not as safe as you think it is.

I barter goods and services to pay for my stuff.

That would be fine. Saves monies.

And it's faster than Apple Pay.

Here in Ireland we have contactless payment cards so you just tap the card on the terminal and you can make purchases that way so its like apple pay but without the phone.
