IOS 18 Surprise? Apple Officially announces the opening of NFC chips for mobile phones to serve as keys and access controls. On Wednesday (14th) local time, Apple suddenly announced that it will open the NFC chip for iPhone to developers and allow the use of secure components in their own apps to launch contactless data exchange functions. Simply put, in the future, iPhone users will be able to use their phones to achieve functions such as car keys, community access control, and opening smart door locks, just like Android users. This also means that the "exclusive" advantages of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet will gradually disappear.
