As long as we're innovating, how about adding tap to pay to the physical apple cards?

If you have an Apple Card they already assume that you have an iPhone to tap to pay with. Why pay for hardware in the card that duplicates hardware your phone already does better?

(Better as in Phone tap to pay has an extra layer of security that card tap to pay does not. But also yes, cynically, better for Apple because Apple gets a small cut in Phone tap to pay to help pay for that extra layer of security.)

Using an Apple Watch for tap to pay is really nice, for what it is worth.

Handing your phone to the guy working the gate at the parking lot is awkward. Will he need to hand it back and forth for face ID? Handing a credit card like everyone else does is better, but why is this heavy titanium card one of the few that doesn’t work on his tap reader as expected?

I wear a garmin when I work out but otherwise want a mechanical watch with no tracking or distractions.
