The XR was a brilliant move. I just wish it was a bit less expensive.

It's simply a genius move. Apple drags everyone into the over 1000 price range, then they pull  the rug from under them

On a slightly related topic, has anyone heard anything more from that Vietnamese company that supposedly could create a mask to fool Face ID?

Don't worry about it it's all bullshit.

"Hey Siri, whose phone is this?" disables FaceID/TouchID.

Just tried this (in German). It showed me my own contact data and definitely did NOT disable Face ID.

It worked for me...you must not have done something right. Either way though...not something you want to do when being asked to unlock your phone. It's not very inconspicuous. 

Yeah worked for me too on my SE, it gave the contact details but when I went to open it it required my 15 letter diceware passcode. Which is moderately annoying. What you could do is simply say that it's not your phone and then just say 'look.. hey Siri whose phone is it', then you can say, oops sorry I guess it was my iPhone after all. The cops wouldn't even realise.

In Australia the infrastructure i.e. pay wave cards, was already ubiquitous all over Australia, Apple Pay was a no brainer. At least for the ANZ, the other banks did that thing that banks do. Meantime a Royal Commission into the deception and greed of the banks in Australia, makes their original attempt to collude to scupper this Apple Pay malarky, risible in hindsight. 

The best thing apart from not needing to pull my card out to wave it, is that the phone makes that cheerful 'ding' sound and I'm already on my way instead of waiting for the POS terminal to validate.
