    Just curious, do many people here use their phone to buy off the internet (E.g. Amazon, Asos, booking.com) ??

    Ive never used mine to buy anything online. Im a bit paranoid with using my credit/debit card on my phone for some reason.

    Do you use your phone to buy stuff on the internet (E.g. Amazon, Asos) ? 33 votes

    Use it all the time. Also use the "keychain" to store my card details (still asks for code on back of card). Don't think ther's any difference between paying online on your Mac or iPhone/iPad... Not to sure if I'd feel the same way about android/windows, but then you're asking in the apple devices forum.

    An iPhone is more secure than a PC or even a Mac. Provided it's not jailbroken and the network isn't compromised, it's probably one of the safest devices to do online shopping on.

    Storing passwords/credit card details and syncing them with the cloud is another matter but no more or less secure than it is on a desktop.

    Have bought everything from flights, clothes, books, food, etc etc. And through the ulster bank app I pay all my bills, mortgage and put pocket money in my kids accounts. You've a lot to look forward to.

    Never have. If I will be buying something online, I will go onto the laptop and make the purchase.
