In Apple's vision of the future, you and I would leave our homes without physical wallets.

I'm already doing this.

I keep a photo of my drivers license on my iPhone and I use Apple Pay, Kroger Pay, Walmart Pay, etc. for all my purchases.

Sometimes I'll give my 12-year old son my iPhone and send him on errands to the grocery store. He knows how to use all of that as well. I'll probabIy buy him his own iPhone soon and install all of that on it because I trust him. I rarely ever handle cash and these days I rarely handle even my debit card.

Same here. I also keep a copy of my auto registrations & insurance cards. I hate carrying anything that I don’t need to.

A couple of years ago I was stopped for speeding & the CHP took my info off the phone pics. Since it worked, I rarely ever carry more than my phone & keys. I wish I could open & start my car with my phone so I could ditch the keys.

Embracing a cashless society…what could possibly go wrong?
