This $10,000 payment went through on a locked iPhone. No Face ID. No passcode.
Marques Brownlee(MKBHD) still looked doubtful after seeing his locked phone get charged $5 through Apple Pay.
So the team at Veritasium asked a wild question:
“Can we try $10,000?”
They placed his iPhone on a device while it was still locked.
Then, using a separate device, they tapped a payment terminal.
Instantly, $10,000 was charged.
No unlock.
No Face ID.
No passcode.
Just tap, and the money was gone.
