In Episode 94 of Consumer Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how your smartphone is transforming into a payment terminal without any extra hardware. They dive into the technology behind Apple's Tap to Pay on iPhone and similar Android solutions, discussing the near-field communication and secure enclave updates that make it possible. Lucas references Apple's 2025 earnings call where services revenue hit $85 billion, and ties the trend to the broader move toward prosumer devices. They also examine how Square and other point-of-sale providers are adapting, and what this means for small businesses. The hosts keep it grounded with real-world examples like a food truck owner who ditched a dedicated card reader.
