“It's likely that the device would feature 48MP images for brightly lit subjects”

I'm using a MacBook in clamshell mode pluggged in 24/7 with the free AlDente app to limit charging to 60%. Works great.

FWIW the article mentions Sky, Virgin and Tesco but these are all MVNOs anyway. The big 4 are O2 (which used to be owned by BT but is now owned by Telefonica of Spain), Vodafone, EE (now owned by BT but formerly the merged entities of C&W’s one2one and HW’s Orange) and lastly HW’s Three.

You have a narrow view of the world. In the US it's slow, but around the world tap & pay is very common. Over 95% of my transactions are done via my Apple Watch. The only time I can't use Apple Pay are the rare occasions a retailer doesn't accept it or when I purchase something more expensive (over the limit).

It’s true that in the U.K. (and Europe) contactless cards are now the norm, so the infrastructure is there. I rarely even carry my wallet now since almost 100% of my offline purchases are via ApplePay. Last month I paid the £200 for my car service by ApplePay and the manager couldn’t believe his eyes! I just wish more stores updated their systems to prevent the £30 contactless cap kicking in. Tesco has this and it drives me nuts.
