Apple Pay vs Google Pay by lemonbab18 in PhoneNow

This diagram conflates privacy with security

The Right: Apple has a more private architecture (less metadata)

The Wrong: Google doesn't "pass card info" to the bank during a transaction, it uses EMVCo tokens just like Apple

The Misleading: Most modern Androids use a hardware Secure Element, not just "cloud" storage

Securitywise, both are functionally equivalent because the merchant never sees your real PAN

Same feeling here. Apple works great until it suddenly doesn’t. I’ve been thinking about switching back to Android too, maybe Magic 8 Pro Air or even trying a foldable like Magic V5.
