Does iPhone 14 have NFC function?

In the past, many mobile phone brands had NFC function, but Apple mobile phones had not supported this function before, so Apple users also hope that Apple mobile phones have this function. So does Apple 14 have NFC function now? The answer is yes.

So why didn’t Apple phones have NFC before?

According to Apple’s own statement, NFC permissions are not open to third-party payment manufacturers because of the consideration of protecting user privacy. From a reality point of view, Apple devices such as the iPhone are indeed slightly better than the more open Android in terms of the security of the NFC function. However, judging from Apple Pay’s rapidly growing share of the mobile payment market. In restricting the opening of NFC, Apple itself has become the biggest beneficiary. It is hard not to think that Apple’s rhetoric of protecting users is just a beautiful excuse. The real purpose is to maintain the dominant position in the mobile payment market and maintain the advantages of the entire ecosystem. Having said that, Apple is not standing still with NFC, but slowly pushing the feature forward with its own understanding. The NFC chip on the iPhone is different from the Android machine. The chip is composed of multiple components, part of which is an NFC control machine that can communicate with other NFC.

The other part is the secure element, which is responsible for the encryption of mobile payment. When a user pays with Apple Pay, the external device needs to access both the NFC controller and the secure element. But if you just read tags with NFC, you only need to access the NFC controller. In order to further play the role of NFC, Apple added the reading of NDEF tags to the NFC of the iPhone 7 series, and at the same time opened the Core NFC framework to third-party developers in the iOS 11 update. Third-party apps need to pass Apple’s review if they want to call NFC, so user data security can be guaranteed. The Apple Pay of the Japanese version of the iPhone 7 has added support for the (Suica) watermelon card, which means that the mobile phone can be used instead of the bus card.

Simply put, the bus cards and subway cards we use all belong to the payment technology of NFC technology, which is characterized by safety, efficiency and speed. If your mobile phone has NFC function, you can bind your bank card and use your mobile phone to take the bus, and some cities can take the subway; and you can complete the induction payment on the POS machine that supports Union Pay contactless induction. This kind of payment does not require you to scan the code. Just to light up the mobile phone screen, that is, the mobile phone has an NFC module to pay directly, so no traffic or power is required. You can also bind your access control card as an electronic access control card. This technology is very mature, it is a close-range magnetic field induction data interaction system! Security is higher than QR code! However, you may ask why QR codes are so popular? This is because the marketing cost of the QR code is low, while the cost of an NFC machine is high! Therefore, the cost of promotion is high, and the habits and consumption scenarios of everyone are also important.
