    This has some issues with both my iPhone 15 Pro Max and S22 Ultra, while it works for the most part I sometimes find I have to unregister then re-register the device to get it to work again with the phones for check out. Also if you touch the button while a transaction is in progress it'll cancel it out and place a hold on that transaction with the customer's card. It will get back to them but it's just an annoying problem that I wish would have been guarded better to prevent accidental hits. I just had to upgrade because Square hasn't made a USB-C card reader

      Hello, River! It sounds like you've had some mixed experiences with the Square Reader for contactless and chip, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. It's frustrating when there are glitches like having to unregister and re-register the device, or accidentally canceling transactions with a touch. It's also understandable that you had to upgrade due to the lack of a USB-C card reader option. Your insights are valuable for both Square and other potential users. We are always looking for ways to improve! Please reach out to Square Support directly should you continue having any issues with your reader. SquareAU
