5 Things You’ll Hate About the iPhone 5

No Apple Pay without Apple Watch

No Apple Pay without Apple Watch

We're huge fans of Apple Pay, the mobile payment platform that Apple debuted with its iOS 8.1 update last year. You can use Apple Pay with the iPhone 5 but you must own an Apple Watch to take advantage of the feature. The iPhone 5 lacks the proper hardware. 

The lack of Apple Pay might not seem like a big deal right now but just wait. Apple's service is only going to get better as more banks and more retail outlets support the relatively new platform. It's also nice to be able to leave the plastic at home and use a phone to pay for goods and services. 

If you want to use Apple Pay without an Apple Watch, you must buy the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will probably feature Apple Watch support as well. If you aren't sold on an iPhone, know that most budget Android phones support mobile payments without the need for a wearble.
