Visa Dropping Signature Requirement for Chip Cards and Apple Pay Starting in April →

Joe Rossignol, writing for MacRumors,

Currently, even when using Apple Pay, a signature can be required on occasion for purchases over $25 made with a Visa card in the United States. But with EMV technology and other modern safeguards, Visa is now moving to fully eliminate this requirement, in line with Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to tell a cashier, “you don’t really need my signature.” This has happened to me even with purchases under $25, so I doubt we’ll see this go away entirely.

What you may not know, however, is that you can also send calls in the other direction — transfer an in-progress call from your iPhone over to your Apple Watch.

Click through the link to see how to do this. My initial reaction was, “ooooohhh,” followed by trying to think of a time I might ever do this. Cool nonetheless.
