Even looking past the potential privacy issues and data breaches, at least if I drop a paper or plastic card, it won't just up and break.

Now a modern phone is basically an eggshell, with a monthly service plan no less. Drop the phone and CRACK!!!

Plus people lose their phones or they get stolen more regularly than wallets anymore..

    It's an accessibility thing as well. Homeless? Need ID? Buy a phone first with the money you don't have.

    My grandma can present a health card from her wallet just fine, anybody can do that. Have fun getting her to remember her passwords though.
