Iphone 15 pro max Apple pay not working

I have Iphone 15 pro max, IOS 17.0.3

Every time i use my card attached to apple wallet to pay, after double clicking the phone says hold nearby and suddenly apple wallet freezes.

Did anyone face similar?

This is the exact same problem I’m having. I have to CC’s on my Apple Pay, neither of them work on my phone. I try to use it, nothing happens then it freezes. I have the same two cc, on my Apple Watch, both work perfectly. I’ve never had Apple pay issues until I got this 15 pro max,&5/ terrible. I have called Apple 5 times now and they said the phone is fine, it’s clearly not.

I had the same issue with my 15 Pro Max. Try hard reset, removing/adding cards, reset setting etc. Went to Apple Store, they replaced it with a new phone. Two weeks later after updating to 17.1.1 I have the same issue again. F*** this (sorry for that, but it's really annoying when paying so much for a new phone).


IOS 17 is a system that should have never been released - there's a big bug regarding Apple Pay Wallet. Here just a few threads with the same issue:

I already had my card set up on Apple Pay, but had to delete it. Recently I tried to add it once again but it keeps telling me to contact my card issuer. After trying a couple of more times, it said Apple Pay unavailable. I signed out of my Apple ID, updated my phone, I reseted my phone, and changed region, but nothing seems to work. I have the iPhone 15 pro max, but I don’t understand why I have to contact my card issuer if I already had the card in my Apple wallet. Please help!
