Hello Jenine, Please keep in mind that in order to use Apple Pay, via the NFC protocol, you must use the device's Touch ID sensor as you hold/wave/pass the device over/near the vendor's payment/transaction terminal.
One nice thing I've noticed while doing this is that it is not necessary to first have the Passbook app running in the background in order to successfully complete a transaction. Oh, it is also not necessary to first unlock the screen in order to complete a transaction. Simply put, Apple Pay facilitates the smoothest brick & mortar purchasing experience I've ever had the pleasure of conducting. Several of my friends, sighted and non-sighted alike, go out of their way to patronize vendors who accept Apple Pay via NFC.

I have no idea why in my brain I had that as NFS rather than NFC. It wouldn’t even matter then which side of your phone was pointing at the receiver or cash transaction device if it’s a radio signal. Not there yet but soon enough. Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com > On Feb 19, 2015, at 9:16 PM, Alex Hall <mehg...@icloud.com> wrote: > > I assume you mean NFC.
