      Recently I’ve just been using it to pay with (instead of a separate physical card), but when I get my ID updated I believe I can use it to scan the chip inside to verify my identity. I’ll be honest, I think back then I was seeing NFC stuff pop up more often, but not sure if it was a passing trend or if I’ve just not been using stuff where it’d be useful.

        Ah iPX had NFC so I use ApplePay all the time. But if something needs to verify my identity, it’s got to have a VERY good reason or it doesn’t get used.
