Apple Inc8 month 14 An important announcement was released on the day, Announced that it will be released soon iOS 18. 1 Open to developers in the beta version iPhone of NFC (Near field communication) chip. This measure will allow developers to utilize iPhone The security element in (SE) , Implement contactless data exchange functionality in their applications, Bring users a wider range of usage scenarios.
NFC (Near Field Communication) It is a short-range wireless communication technology, Allow two devices to exchange data when they are close to each other. In short, NFC Just like between devices "Digital handshake" , It allows your phone to be compatible with other supports NFC The equipment is used quickly, Secure interaction, Without the need for physical contact.
