It’s June again which means another Apple WWDC event, where they announce changes to their software products with iOS 13. Over the last several years Apple has been increasing NFC functionality in the iPhone.
Several additional features should be added to the iPhone in iOS 12 to fix the NFC issues in Core NFC
NFC is starting to see significant growth with smart product labeling and smart packaging for Connected Things projects. With NFC tags now being put into product labels and packaging, connecting those products to a personalized digital experience, the environmental impact of NFC tags also needs to be considered.
With Apple’s event on Sept. 12th, 2017 Apple has finally announced the new iPhone 8 and the iPhone X along with releasing iOS 11 to the general public for download on Sept. 19th 2017. iOS 11 includes an NFC SDK for iOS, Core NFC which allows for iPhone apps to read NDEF records from NFC tags.
Apple has just announced at WWDC 2017 that iOS 11 will have support for reading NFC tags and NDEF messages. This means that all iPhone 7 and newer will be able to read NFC tags just like Android.
This is the third post in our series on Apple iPhone support for NFC tags. It’s spring again, which means the rumor mill for the upcoming new iPhone 8 and iOS 9 is in full swing. This year is different though as it’s the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, so consumers are expecting something amazing.
Apple just had their annual September big event, this time announcing the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch Series 2. So how are they? Depends on where you’re coming from.
It’s spring again and the Apple NFC rumor mill is heating up. In the fall of 2014 Apple added an NFC controller to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to support the Apple Pay mobile payment system.
Over the last couple of months I have been using the new Android Pay as well as started to experience increasingly frequent use of credit card EMV payment process during retail purchases. This experience has brought up a thought…….Will the smartcard EMV adoption in the US actually help accelerate phone-based NFC payment use?
