How do I cut the corner off a card in my Apple wallet?

I joke, but who still uses physical cards!?

Physical cards are still widely and sensibly carried by young and old! What are you going to do if you lose your mobile or it’s stolen and may have your train ticket home as well as all your cards. I’m surprised that some people keep their cards in a case with the mobile.

I find that sometimes card machines don’t like Apple Pay and a physical card works fine. It helps you remember your PIN if you use it from time to time. In some countries contactless/Apple Pay isn’t that commonplace. In China, if you use a physical card or even Apple Pay, they consider that seriously primitive.
