The CEO of Orange hints that other apps will be able to access the NFC of the iPhone

There are many smartphones that have NFC inside, this technology that allows wireless payments, the future of technology when it comes to paying. One thing these smartphones have in common is that they allow many third-party applications to access this chip, allowing it to give it countless utilities. Nevertheless, we find a device that has this technology totally restricted to its serviceWe are talking about the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6s, whose NFC chip works exclusively with Apple Pay, in short, it does not work outside the United States or the United Kingdom.

We are in countries like China or Canada where Apple Pay is arriving, however, for example, we Spaniards have been "enjoying" this technology for two years. It is absurd how Apple has limited the NFC of the iPhone completely as it did with Bluetooth in its day. 

It is the CEO of Orange who has decided to give the bell. Richard Stephanie, who has advised that Apple is ready to integrate Orange's mobile payment option called "Orange Cash". Currently that is via software impossible, since Apple does not allow it, but perhaps that is what was being talked about so much about Apple Pay in France, and not about the arrival of the official Apple system.

However, if Orange Cash is really ready to be released on iOS, it may be that Apple has changed its point of view on the matter and has decided to give access to third-party applications to use its NFC chip. This would mean that all over the world we could use many contactless payment alternatives on our iPhone, something "prohibited" until now, and that is because banks like "La Caixa" or companies like "Vodafone" have long offered NFC payment systems for mobiles. from Android.
