What percentage of iPhone users use or would use Apple Pay? I think not very many. The iPhone is a luxury brand. If the owner is 50 or above, they are only comfortable with credit cards, and won't risk new-fangled NFC. If older than 65, they still write checks.

I'm over 50 and I use Apple Pay almost every day. When shopping at Trader Joe's I see lots of people using it as well. I also try and avoid stores that don't support it. As for what percentage of iPhone users use it, I'd bet it's much higher than you think. With companies like McDonald's, Taco Bell, Instacart, etc. offering discounts and freebies for people using their phones for ordering (defaulting to Apple Pay) I think it's only going to become more and more popular over time.

BTW, according to Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=percentage+of+teens+who+own+iphone) it really doesn't seem like the iPhone is as "Luxury" as you think. If 83% of teens own one it's not likely that they're going to switch platforms when they go off to college or enter the workforce.

The simplest solution to this would be for Apple to cease payments to any developer caught lying until the privacy information is updated to reflect what the app is actually doing or the app is updated to do what the privacy label shows. I'm sure developers would be more truthful if their revenue stream was cut off. Perhaps a cut of the lost revenue could be paid as bounty from Apple to anyone discovering apps falsifying info. This would crowd-source the enforcement and Apple wouldn't have to hire anyone to verify this information.
