Well should I also provide my stack to the pile. When I take my physical card and use the NFC function on it no private information is shown. Can you guess what info is shown if I use NFC, chip or Apple Pay? Only the last 4 digits of the card number, a name etc is never included.I have indeed noticed a difference: when I pay by inserting my card, the voucher from the POS shows my name. That does not appear on the voucher when I use apple pay. To prove it, I am attaching an example showing two vouchers from purchases made on the exact same kind of card reader (an ingenico move 2500 supplied to each of the merchants by BBVA bank in Mexico). Both purchases were made using Apple Card. While the one on the left, which was made using the titanium card, shows my full name below the signature line (covered for privacy purposes), the one on the right made using apple pay only shows the signature line with no name below it. Clearly the merchants aren’t getting the exact same info using apple pay vs the physical card. View attachment 2343231
That being said, I agree with you that I7guy cannot be objective on Apple. However, I don’t believe he has ever admitted himself to be a fan of the brand, nor do I think he’ll ever do so.
And that’s exactly the same for credit card or debit card. At any payment terminal in EU. Hmm I do wonder what security measures you actually have in place in the states.
