Ive occasionally had issues, but it’s almost always been either an issue with the merchants transaction terminal or their network. When I started using Apple Pay, I’d always tell the cashier and many times they’d tell me where to hold my iPhone and one thing I’ve learned is it’s lots of different places on the terminal. However, you’re usually safe holding it where the Tap-To-Pay symbol is. I’ve also learned to hold my iPhone so the top is near the symbol and an inch or less from touching. Some systems respond almost instantly and some may take 5 or 6 seconds, which of course seems like an eternity.
