Starting from iPhone 6, every generation of iPhone has NFC function. However, Apple has not fully opened the NFC module on the iPhone to third-party development, so the use scope of the iPhone NFC function has been limited. Unlike most Android phones, the phone can no longer be used as a access card, car key, company ID card and other tools.

Today, Apple suddenly announced that it will open the iPhone's NFC chip to developers. Developers can start using this component in iOS 18.1 and use Apple's official security element to perform contactless data exchange functions in the developer's own app.

Of course, as an Apple device, it has always attached great importance to user privacy. Developers use NFC and SE API security elements, and all data and information will be stored in the local device through an industry-leading chip.

In addition, developers who want to incorporate this new solution into 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 ensure compliance with specific industry and regulatory requirements and commit to complying with Apple's long-term security and privacy standards can use the relevant APIs.

Unfortunately, according to the official announcement released by Apple, the first batch of regions that can use NFC and SE API are only Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, and there is no mention of mainland China. Apple said that more regions will be launched later.
