Apple iPhone will become more and more user-friendly. With the release of iOS 18.1, Apple officially opened the NFC chip, and developers will soon be able to use the secure element in the iPhone, that is, to perform NFC contactless data exchange without going through Apple Pay and Apple Wallet.

Using the new NFC and SE (Secure Element) APIs, developers will be able to provide contactless data exchange within the app, and implement applications in in-store payment, smart car keys, corporate work badges, merchant points, and even event ticket authentication.

Of course, as Apple products, user security and privacy have always been regarded as top priority. NFC and SE API utilize secure elements, and all data information is stored in the local device through an industry-leading chip.

As a guarantee, developers who want to include this new solution in their iPhone apps need to sign a business agreement with Apple, apply for NFC and SE authorization, and pay related fees. Only authorized developers who meet specific industry and regulatory requirements and commit to complying with Apple's long-term security and privacy standards can use the relevant APIs.

Apple has always adhered to the principle of putting user privacy first, and this is one of the reasons why many people choose to buy an iPhone.
