Transport for London (TfL) has warned tube, train and bus passengers paying with Apple Pay on iPhones and Apple Watches not to let their batteries run flat or they could get stuck at gates and face penalty fares.
TfL advises users that, as with other smartphone payment systems including EE's Cash on Tap, Apple Pay only works if a device has power. It warns that, if the battery runs out in the middle of a journey, a user will not be able to tap out, which means they could be charged a maximum fare.
"If an inspector asks you to touch your iPhone or Apple Watch on their reader, it will not be able to be read and you could be liable for a penalty fare," TfL says.

Will scenes of addicts tethered to outlets with electricity IVs spread?
Maybe if you find an exceptionally clever way to phrase it.
