Political decisions, controversial or not, are exempt in this place where we usually only talk about tech culture, more specifically Apple. However, everything changes when a political decision as drastic as Brexit, the procedure by which the United Kingdom wants to abandon its political participation in the European Union, directly affects the way we use our iPhones. Apparently, Brexit could push the opening of the iPhone's NFC to provide it with more functionalities, since the UK government has requested it.Will the day finally come when we can use the NFC of our devices how and when we want?
At least that's what he has reported NFC World y The Guardian, that apparently have been able to access information from the political powers of the United Kingdom, which have appealed to the Cupertino company to facilitate the more than foreseeable painful exit procedure from the European Union, for this, what they want is that the iPhone can be used as a verifier and carrier of identity documents, something that Apple has previously proposed. Nothing that does not include for example the DNIe 3.0, the Spanish identity card that has NFC technology, as well as the current passports, so the innovation would not be too demanding.
Apparently, the Cupertino company has shown interest in this "deal" that would facilitate the entry and exit of the United Kingdom, something quite uncomfortable if you have traveled from abroad, I do not even want to imagine in the case of not being a citizen of the Union European. These procedures would be streamlined if we could give our iPhone the ability to identify ourselves through NFC, but To my honesty, what interests me the most is that it can be used as a carrier of public transport cards such as those of the EMT that already have NFC, the next step?
