Yes, Apple Pay works on older iPhones like the iPhone 6 and later, as long as they have Face ID or Touch ID (excluding the iPhone 5s) and the latest compatible iOS version (often iOS 12.5 or newer for older models), allowing in-store, in-app, and online purchases, though specific features and regional availability can vary. For very old models like the iPhone 5/5s/5c, you need an Apple Watch paired with the phone to use it for contactless payments.
You can use Apple Pay with an iPhone 5, 5s or 5c, but only if you have an Apple Watch paired with the phone as you can't carry out contactless transactions with an iPhone 5 alone. Older models of the iPhone won't work with Apple Pay.
Device compatibility
The service is compatible with iPhone 6 and newer, iPad Air 2 and newer, Macs with Touch ID, and Apple Watch Series 1 and later.
Yes, an iPhone 6 still physically works for basic tasks like calls, texts, and some apps, but it's stuck on iOS 12 and lacks crucial security updates, making many modern apps (banking, social media) incompatible or risky, and its performance will be slow; it's best as a backup device or for offline use, not a daily driver.
Apple Pay allows you to make payments at physical stores, online shops and within apps with your Apple iPhone 8.
The 7-Eleven app makes checking out contactless, earns you 3X points and rewards you along the way*. Get started when you load your Wallet with cash, credit, debit,7-Eleven gift cards, Apple Pay® or Google Pay®.

What devices can I use Apple Pay on?

No, Apple Pay and Apple Wallet aren't the same, but they work together: Apple Wallet is the app (your digital container) that stores your credit/debit cards, loyalty cards, tickets, and passes, while Apple Pay is the technology/service that uses those cards in the Wallet to make secure, contactless payments in stores, online, and in apps. Think of the Wallet as your physical purse and Pay as the tap-to-pay function.
Does it cost extra to use Apple Pay? No. Apple does not charge any fees when you pay with Apple Pay — in stores, online, or in apps.
