I'm sure they did tons of testing on the experience, but I'm not a huge fan of the Apple Pay button being up top and appearing so prominent. My guess is that the vast majority of people won't end up using Apple Pay, so from a UX standpoint, I don't understand why it's above the credit card content as opposed to below. My guess is that they worked out some kind of lucrative partnership with Apple.

That's a commonly used design though. Putting integrations above the standard form itself. Many forms do this with Paypal integration instead of Apple Pay.

Have they figured out how to support Apple Pay and subscriptions?

Yes.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Depends on whether your customers are buying on desktop or mobile. It is a big advantage for mobile conversions to support payment solutions like Apple and Google pay. https://www.commerce7.com/blog/how-digital-wallets-increase-...

I also highly doubt that the Apple Pay button shows up on places where it isn't supported.

The Apple Pay button is a browser feature and unless you mimic it using CSS, it will only show up if you're in a supported region with a supported device that has apple pay enabled and cards added.

This is a beautiful user interface, but in my business, ~40% of our payments are through PayPal. To integrate Stripe Checkout, we would have to ask the customer whether they're paying with a card or using PayPal prior to displaying the Stripe UI. While that is not the worst option, our current UX is similar to Shopify, where there is an accordion component with multiple options: PayPal, Credit Card, Apple Pay, etc..…

I expect this is not Stripe's decision. PayPal own Braintree, a Stripe competitor, whos unique selling point is that they also support PayPal through one API. I suspect PayPal want to keep this distinction.

Without support from PayPal, I'd expect the most that Stripe could do is implement a way for you to provide extra non-Stripe payment option buttons, which would just redirect to some URL provided up front. Not a great developer experience, and not much of a UX improvement.

The Apple Pay button will only show up to customers who have Apple Pay onboarded and enabled. Customers who don't care about Apple Pay won't ever see the button.

My anecdata is from this past weekend when I had a choice of ordering from two different pizza apps. I went with the one that offers Apple Pay because the checkout process is so frictionless.

When it comes to buying things online, for me I prefer Apple Pay > Stored credit card number (Amazon) > Punching in a credit card number > PayPal. For me, this is 90% about trust.

Again, just one data point, but it's the only one I have.

Not sure I agree with that. I assume Apple Pay button will only show for customers who have Apple Pay setup/available to use, and for those customers using Apple Pay (1 click secure payment vs manually entering in card info would seem a no brainer).

Before PayPal bought Braintree, they were a separate company that provided the same service (cards & paypal as an option). Presumably they did this using PayPal's APIs - I'm familiar enough with them to think it should be possible for anyone. However, those APIs are horrible and PayPal's technology platform is a trainwreck, so I can understand why they might not be rushing it out.
