Did they just completely destroy Square's POS device business?



No support for Swipe or Dip but this is pretty awesome. I still need swipe/dip so I'm stuck with my BTLE device for that stuff but this is pretty awesome for contactless.


Yeah, but this seems like a pretty e2e solution to me now. Most people get an iPhone before their first credit card. They can not get an Apple Card directly on their iPhone with a few touches that instantly gets added to their wallet (the physical card takes days to ship), the card in the iPhone Wallet can now directly be used.
