WWDC: Apple’s iOS 13 NFC improvements are good for business
Apple will make NFC much more useful in iPhones running iOS 13, and these enhancements will impact the retail, medical, government and security industries.
What is Apple changing?
Apple already uses NFC to support Apple Pay and the Apple Pay Express Transit system which is rolling out at this time.
While it has incrementally extended the tasks NFC supports over the years, the company has limited its NFC support to the NDEF standard until now, but extends this with support for new standards in its Core NFC Framework in iOS 13.
