According to Fast Technology on August 15, Apple added the NFC function to the iPhone 6 in 2014, but to this day, Apple has not fully opened NFC, resulting in iPhone users being unable to use their phones as car keys, swipe community access control, open smart door locks, etc. like Android users.

Surprisingly, Apple just released an announcement on its official website.Announced that it will open the iPhone's NFC chip to developers, using the secure element to enable contactless data exchange in their own apps.

Apple said that using the new NFC and SE (Secure Element) APIs, developers will be able to provide contactless data exchange within apps.

It can be used for in-store payments, car keys, closed-loop public transportation, corporate ID cards, student ID cards, home keys, hotel keys, merchant points and rewards cards, and even event tickets.ID cards will also be supported in the future.

This means that iPhone users no longer have to envy the feature-rich NFC on Android phones.

It is understood thatNFC and SE APIs will be available to developers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States through the upcoming iOS 18.1 developer resources.More regions will be supported in the future.

Apple said that in order to include this new solution in iPhone apps, developers need to sign a business agreement with Apple, apply for NFC and SE authorization, and pay related fees.
