For example, Apply Pay and Android Pay by Google, both systems allow users to add their credit or debit card details by entering it manually or taking a picture of it. Both these systems utilize Near Field Communication (NFC) technology while transacting on the NFC-enabled terminals. NFC converts such mobile payment applications into tap and pay apps for convenient transactions for the end users. The market of iOS smartphones that assimilate NFC is rapidly growing compared to other mobile payment systems. This article covers the transformation of the iOS market through NFC.

Essentials of NFC

NFC is a short-range wireless connectivity technology which simplifies transactions with just a touch on the screen or by holding the device to the terminal. It connects two wireless devices to exchange digital content by consuming minimal energy and using RFID, no matter how far they are from each other. The iOS users having iOS 11 and higher OS version have the full advantage of using NFC technology.

This provision changed the way of the smartphone uses and its digital counterparts. The vertical markets of gaming, security, and closed event systems are already leveraging the NFC benefits, and now the NFC reader is assisting iOS owners in interacting with NFC tags conveniently.

Near Field Communication has redefined the way people pay for things and provide a high authentication facility. Therefore, people can experience highly satisfying UX/UI performance on their iOS devices. By installing relative apps on their iPhones and other iOS devices, users can make a contactless payment, which results in a rapid expansion of the mobile payment field.

Apart from the contactless payments, the NFC tags can;

  • Set alarms and timers
  • Activate security features like lock screen
  • Adjust WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS settings
  • Manage social media, and much more

Six key benefits of integrating NFC into iOS applications

  1. Near Field Communication technology provides an augmented shopping experience to end-user. A relative app connects the consumer to the web page where the product or service information is available.
  2. NFC takes mobile payments one step further from the use of digital wallets. Buyers need to tap on their iOS device to solve a problem in a fraction of a second.
