You can now make cards and top up from inside Apple Wallet (even with a non Japanese phone or account)

Yes, it's great! My point is that Apple's implementation solves all these challenges, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Not sure if it's still the case, but last year I could only top up with my AmericanExpress in Apple Wallet. Neither Visa nor MasterCard worked. This was a widespread issue at the time.

FWIW I reloaded the Suica on my iPhone a few times in the past 2-3 weeks using my Apple Card (Mastercard) as the funding source and it worked fine.

I had no issues with either Visa or Mastercard last year, but I believe I went just after that issue was resolved.
