> I don't see any reason why Apple Pay would use IP geolocation like that when it's running on a device that has GPS.

One reason is that GPS doesn't work well (or at all) indoors, through cell-tower geolocation should work well enough for that case.



A compromised device can send a false location or the user may have disabled location. Geolocation has relatively predictable failures.
