Annie Liebowitz, who knows a thing or two about photography, said that when asked what camera she’d recommend to friends, she says the iPhone.…. Older people are more settled. I went to my grandson's first birthday party a week ago. I was the only one there taking pictures (ahem, digital) with a real camera. The rest used their cellphones including my daughter and son-in-law who bought a real DSLR camera when he became a father. But they weren't even using it.…
I could wrap my head around the reasoning behind enforced contactless transactions during the height of the pandemic. But it’s a little frustrating to not be able to use cash for the smallest, simplest purchases even now—and it’ll likely continue to get worse.

Liebowitz loves the Iphone because her vision matches the built in filters.
Which filters would that be? She's a pretty straightforward photographer who uses a lot of artificial light.
She's a commercial/editorial photographer. I don't consider most of her work as art. I'm sure there are collectors who do.Any of 'em. Her style always looks over the top to me.
Not my cup of tea but that doesn't mean I don't respect the work or the artist.

I think it may be the other way around - her vision inspired the built-in filters.
But I do think the "small sensor/lots of depth of field, advanced exposure control and tendency to get close to your subject" approach that seems natural with a cel phone isn't a bad place for many people to start. After that, some people take it a lot farther.

It does hurt retailers, who have to pay a fee for a credit card or PayPal transaction. Not sure about debit cards or Venmo.I have been essentially cashless for over two decades. If one does not carry cash, then they are not seen with cash and are less likely to be held up by robbers.

Banks up here charge commercial customers big fees for handling cash.
And of course, cash actually has to be handled, transported, secured, and that requires trusted employees or contractors (e.g. Brinks).
Cash also is a target for theft - including most importantly by employees. My former dentists lost big dollars and many of their patients experienced some unwarranted stress because the practice accepted cash, and because what they believed to be a long time trusted employee actually shouldn't have been trusted with cash.
Cash register systems that incorporate inventory control are more expensive than some of the POS systems for small businesses.
If 95% of your customers prefer to use plastic/their phones to pay for something, as a business owner you have to think long and hard about the additional administrative costs and burdens imposed because you accept cash.
God, no. I absolutely hate taking pictures with an iPhone (or other). A camera for me has to feel like an extension of my eye, the iPhone is this wobbly thing held a foot and a half away from my face. I only use it a last resort or for note-taking--like where all the wires connect before I take something apart.What we need is an iPHone that shoots film.
NMP Not My Problem If they do not want to take my credit cards, I will shop elsewhere.
A quarter century ago, one of my friends who operated a small retail business finally gave in and began accepting credit cards. He said that, one year later, his business doubled. Plastic is only a problem for those who use it and don't pay their statement balance in full each month.
Cash transactions are easy to keep off the books, something a few small business might be tempted to do.
