iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have really good battery life. If you're streaming Netflix between shopping stops, and you're out all day shopping, then I might follow you.
Every purchase you make takes a toll on battery life. Currently, people have to charge their phones every time they enter a building.
Umm no. The purpose of Apple Pay is more security and convenience. I don't think it is to entirely replace the physical card. Obviously not all merchants will have NFC and work with Apple Pay and some places only take cash.
And if someone takes your cards, you cancel them. Simple. You are not liable for fraud charges NOW, nor with Apple Pay.

I'm fine. Just trying to help you out since you seem worried about Apple Pay. You still didn't answer the questions I posted in response to you. Why are you avoiding?

What? You could probably make a thousand purchases a day and not run down your battery. It takes like 5 seconds. How many purchases are you planning on making?
Wild hyperbole.
Do you have a defective battery, or do you just never charge your phone?
Which proves my point.
And by the way, my phone did die several times during the discussion.
Just the other day I had my iPhone and I was trying to scan it at Starbucks while it was at 2%
Sometimes especially in a low service area, the phone can, and has died at like 4 to 5 percent.
I'm not trying to make a scene, but I'm just stating the problems I've reported to Apple and potential issues for me.
In 7 years of owning every single iPhone yet made, my phone has dropped below 10% maybe 10 times. Why? Because I CHERGE TEH PHERN.
You seem determined to deflect and diffuse every single rationale that shows how Apple Pay is a good thing no matter how you slice it. I for one am done wasting kilobytes on you, and I will be sure to steer clear of any other logic black holes you attempt to create.

Why is it an issue. If your phone dies, use your cash or actual card. Problem solved!
I am blaming the credit card companies. I understand we have the largest user and terminal base, but the smart card requirement should have been forced a long long time ago.
I am not worried in the least as I have no plans to use it and time soon. All the worry seems to be coming from you. I have no need to answer your questions or convince you of anything. You really need to push your Apple Pay elsewhere as I make my own choices and you could never make my mind up one way or another.
Unless you've used Apple Pay extensivly, you cannot make that claim. I keep BT and Wifi on all day, even when I'm not connected to a network, and my phone lasts all day.
The OP has lost me, either he/she lives in some crazy world, or trying to stir up drama. I'm bowing out of this thread.
It is all about money and the US banks have avoided chipped cards for years and years when they knew it would make thing much safer. With all the hacking, it must be getting to the point where it is now cost effective for them to issue chipped cards !
We will be seeing alot of new credit secure products in 2015, Apple Pay is just one of them.

So why did you post here about your concerns? Then when I refuted them you run away and hide? You raised concerns, I tried to show you why your concerns were not valid.
Again, why do you not plan on using it anytime soon? What are your fears. (Again, you won't answer for some bizarre reason) -- right?
I'll try to use it, but I expect to hear, "We don't have Apple pay."
To be honest I've seen a lot of cash registers that look like it would support Apple pay but they don't.
Not to mention the fact that in iOS 8 your phone can restart randomly.

Yes, as well as all the political attention focused on this since the Target incident.
Good. Let us know what happens when you try to use it. We are waiting for your report (holding my breath).
So then you either:
1. Wait the few seconds it takes to reboot
2. Get out your actual credit card or cash and pay
Edit:
Can someone put together a timeline of OPs reasons why he doesn't like apple pay or why it will fail? It's fun to watch it shift and mutate as the thread goes on.
I don't see how it's possible that your phone dies that often unless maybe you're using it as your only computer.
Most people I know don't have to charge it until they go to bed. With the 6 plus, they can stretch that even longer
It would be great if the iPhone could last as long as a laptop could. Currently it only lasts as long as a MacBook with a battery that needs to be serviced.
You've seen the Android commercials. Wall huggers?
But you don't have to put me down or anything I will use Apple Pay when it's convenient and quick and somewhere where I know it will be.
I'm used to pulling up my phone to scan rewards cards, but never had my phone connected directly to my bank account and using it to pay. Thats new.

Your phone is not directly connected to your bank account with Apple Pay. Your phone will simply contain a randomly generated token that is sent via NFC (along with a one-time use dynamically created cryptogram) that can be mapped back to your credit or debit card account (at the card issuer) via the payment processing system used for payment cards. Your phone is simply a token carrier. That's all.
