Forgive my ignorance (I come from the time of travelers checks!), on a few threads I have read about using mobile phone payment.  Are they talking about Apple Pay?  I thought that Apple Pay was not common in Europe?

I'd say it's a lot more widespread and common than in the US. And I mean A LOT.

In St. Petersburg, for instance, they typically accept ApplePay, GooglePay, and SamsungPay. Also, most POS terminals accept "tap to pay" credit and debit cards (visa wavepay, I forgot what MasterCard's alternative is called).

It’s not especially common in Norway, but it’s started to increase a lot in the last year.

 

Tap payments are also becoming more common for small purchases, but you usually need to use your PIN for purchases over 200 NOK, and the chip still has to be used every so often for security.
