Just auth before you get to the turnstile.

It's having to look away from the primary activity of getting through the barrier that is the problem. Not sure how this will go down at 8am at Waterloo.

[sbuk]

No different from now. Plenty of people have eyes down watching videos or reading while walking towards the barriers on both sides. Annoys the bejeezus out of me every single day.

[empath75]

you have to auth again when you use apple pay.

[jon889]

No you can pre auth. If you authing at the gate, then youre extremely annoying..

[andrewingram]

It's part of why I think it should be considered a breach of social etiquette to use your phone to pay on public transport.

Like the people who wait till they're at the gate before delving into their bottomless-bag-of-carrying for their oyster

[LeoPanthera]

This is incorrect. You can preauth even with the current touch id models.

[yardstick]

Apologies but what do you need to do to preauth? Is this just the quick-double-pressing to open the Applet Pay wallet in advance? Do you still have to put your finger on it when making the actual payment?

[snowwolf]

Double press to bring up the wallet, then leave your finger on until the fingerprint changes to a phone with the message "Hold Near Reader to Pay". Then you don't need to leave your finger on when making the payment. Handy when you have to reach over a counter to "Tap" or need the payment to go through quickly (going through a payment barrier such as on the London underground). I assume FaceID will work the same.

Thanks!
