Apple Opens NFC Access to Developers
Apple's recent announcement to open up NFC functionalities on iPhones marks a significant shift in its approach to mobile payments. Starting with iOS 18.1, developers will be able to integrate secure NFC contactless transactions directly into their apps, independent of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet.

Although developers will face costs and contractual agreements to access this technology, the possibilities for applications include in-app payments, transit passes, and various identification functions.
