Ngo-Agasti 14, i-Apple kungazelelwe yamemezela ukuthi izovulela abathuthukisi i-chip ye-NFC ye-iPhone futhi ibavumele ukuthi basebenzise izingxenye zokuphepha zangaphakathi zocingo ukuze baqalise imisebenzi yokushintshisana ngedatha ngaphandle kokuthinta ezinhlelweni zabo zokusebenza. Kalula nje, ngokuzayo, abasebenzisi be-iPhone bazokwazi ukusebenzisa amafoni abo ukuze bathole imisebenzi efana nokhiye bemoto, ukulawula ukufinyelela komphakathi, nezingidi zeminyango ehlakaniphile, njengabasebenzisi be-Android. Lokhu futhi kusho ukuthi izinzuzo "ezikhethekile" ze-Apple Pay ne-Apple Wallet zizoshabalala kancane kancane. Nakuba, i-Apple ekuqaleni kuka-2014 ochungechungeni lwe-iPhone 6, yengeza umsebenzi we-NFC. Kodwa kuphela i-Apple Pay ne-Apple Wallet, futhi ayivuli ngokugcwele i-NFC. Mayelana nalokhu, i-Apple empeleni ingemuva kwe-Android, ngemva kwakho konke, i-Android sekuyisikhathi eside inothile emisebenzini ye-NFC, njengokusebenzisa amafoni omakhalekhukhwini ukufeza okhiye bemoto, ukulawula ukufinyelela komphakathi, ukuvula izingidi zeminyango ehlakaniphile neminye imisebenzi. U-Apple umemezele ukuthi kusukela nge-iOS 18.1, abathuthukisi bazokwazi ukunikeza i-NFC ngokushintshana kwedatha okungaxhunywanga ezinhlelweni zabo ze-iPhone besebenzisa i-Security Element (SE) ngaphakathi kwe-iPhone, ehlukene ne-Apple Pay ne-Apple Wallet. Nge-NFC ne-SE apis entsha, onjiniyela bazokwazi ukuhlinzeka ngokushintshisana kwedatha ngaphandle kokuthinta ngaphakathi kohlelo lokusebenza, engasetshenziselwa izinto zokuhamba ezivaliwe, i-ID yenkampani, i-ID yesitshudeni, okhiye basekhaya, okhiye behhotela, amaphuzu omthengisi namakhadi emiklomelo, ngisho amathikithi omcimbi, futhi esikhathini esizayo, imibhalo kamazisi.
