The Apple Store app has long allowed shoppers to pay for purchases with the credit card associated with their Apple ID, but users needed to type their password for authentication. Now, users can simply use Touch ID.
To pay with a credit card associated with an Apple ID at checkout, tap on the white "buy with other payment options" button.
Apple said the new Apple Store app also makes its easier to see if an iPhone you want is available at an Apple Store near you.
The Apple Store app is free on the App Store [Direct Link] for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

I think this is a fair argument. I always appreciate the extra steps for security, but I also like the convenience of Apple Pay. Extra measures seems inconvenient for some, but I like knowing it makes more of a challenge for someone trying to fraudulently authenticate my information.
Fewer steps are better. No one born after 2025 is going to understand what a password is.o_O:p
