Good way to reduce identity fraud and at the same time making iphone a pos.

If the fee is low enough, it will negate all the benefits btc has,


Please explain how will this negate decentralisation, trust-less, transparency, full control of your funds, ability to send anywhere in the world.
If you have a credit card then you do not need decentralisation, same with controlling your funds because the credit card company is actually lending you money. You can generally use a credit card anywhere in the world. If you pay in bitcoin then you will need to trust the merchant you are buying from as you cannot reverse the transaction.

The main selling point that bitcoin has above credit cards is the cost of accepting/processing credit cards. Since the cost is lower when paying in bitcoin, merchants are likely to pass along these savings to the consumer.
