MAJOR FAIL! I fault Amazon for issuing a sub-standard app; I fault Apple for releasing a sub-standard app on its platform. As it stands, home theater enthusiasts are the ones most affected.

This faux pas is similar to the Netflix app on Dish Network where only 2ch audio is available even if the video is 4K HDR. Dish has known about this for more than a year, yet does nothing to remedy the “bug.” Therefore, I use other Netflix apps on my Samsung Smart TV (ARC), Apple TV 4K, or Samsung Smart UHD Blu-Ray player. Since the new Amazon Prime Video app for Apple TV falls short of today’s audio standards, I will exercise the same options until someone gets their proverbial act together.

I use Apple products exclusively for personal and mobile computing, but I won't pay more for gas just so I can use ApplePay and benefit an oil company.

Part of the merchant/Apple Apple Pay contract stipulates that the customer doesn't pay for Apple Pay services. Do your homework before you complain.

You misunderstood LoneStar88. In general, Exxon charges more for the various grades of gas and diesel than other operators, especially in Texas. Since Exxon now has an in-app capability for Apple Pay, I'm not going to pay more to fill up my tank just so I can use Apple Pay to complete the transaction. Also, I won't use Apple Pay just so Exxon can benefit more than another operator who charges 3, 5, or 10 cents less per gallon.
