Hello Brent, To answer your question:
There is absolutely nothing with which one needs to line up the phone in order to complete an Apple Pay transaction. Simply stated, once the cashier rings up your order, all you need do is to hold the phone over the transaction terminal, with your finger touching the phone's Touch-ID sensor. The phone needs to be about 1 to 2 inches above the terminal. The process is so easy that I no longer engage my Bluetooth headset or attach any earphones to the phone in order to hear VoiceOver--not that there is anything in particular to hear. >From a visual perspective, once the cashier rings up the order, the terminal >display engages. It looks like a small television or airport monitor. When you see this display engage, you simply hold the iPhone about an inch or so away. When you do this, the iPhone's display engages also, shoing the passbook app. Then, you will feel the phone vibrate and the transaction is complete. For those with no vision, and I have used this method, just to see what it is like: when the order has been rung up, simply place your secondary hand on the terminal in order to locate it, then place your primary hand, with your finger on the Touch-ID sensor of the phone, about 1 or 2 inches away from your secondary hand and the process will work just fine. Writing about it will always sound more involved than actually doing it. I have become so comfortable with the process, that I no longer even hold the phone 2 inches away from the terminal but, rather, simply place the backside of my hand, holding the phone in the required manner of course, against the terminal and wait until I feel the phone vibration. In line, today, a patron standing beside me at an adjacent terminal, apparently after witnessing my technique said, "That's the coolest way I've ever seen that done. I'm going to do that next time." We all laughed and I thanked him.

How do you figure out where on the machine to tap your phone to make it work? From what I understood, you need to line up the little hole next to the back camera with something on the payment terminal, unless people are describing it badly that it doesn't really require you to tap in the correct place. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liz And Sammie" <elizabethulr...@sbcglobal.net> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, April 19, 2015 9:42 PM Subject: My experience with Apple Pay. I just want to share my experience with Using Apple Pay. I set Apple Pay up when the last software update happened. Last Friday, I decided to go to Subway to grab lunch, and I used Apple Pay. It went flawlessly, and it was so accessible. I was dubious about Apple Pay, but after using it I sure will use it again.
