NYC omny cards with no smart phone or credit card, what to do?

They say metro cards won't be phased out for 3 years.

I know someone that has an iPhone for work, but refuses to use it. Just has all calls forwarded to his personal phone. He will not use it for any apps, or even Uber when taking business trips (its set up with his business credit card).

he also refuses to use credit cards except in extreme circumstances.

will he have to join the 21st century, or will there be another way to use something like a metrocard?

Should I get an iPad Pro if I have an iMac and a iPhone?

Currently, I have an iPhone X, MacBook Pro, and the new iMac that just came out. I'm considering selling my MacBook and getting an iPad Pro, as I would like something that's kind of in between my iMac and my iPhone, and I don't really see the need for having two computers. What are your thoughts? I've had iPads in the past and always ended up returning/selling them, but that was before I had an iMac. Now that I have an iMac, I kind of see the use of the iPad, but then again, my macbook does more than an iPad, just is less portable.

How do you use an unlocked iPhone 7 Plus with virgin mobile phone service?

I've tried a few times and it just keeps saying no service after searching, I've kept trying and once it actually showed virgin mobile with bars and Lte for less than a min but than it went to no service. This is originally a gsm phone but has been unlocked and many other people who unlocked their AT&T or t mobile iPhones were able to use it on a cdma network but why am I struggling. Any help would be much appreciated
