Little by little we continue to reel off the news that the new Apple phones will bring that can begin to be reserved this Friday, September 14, and among those most outstanding news, one that can be overlooked and that is quite important is the one that he told us yesterday Apple on NFC and the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR.
The new Apple models they will not need applications to read the NFC tags, which means that we will no longer need applications for this function and simply with the active screen of our device (an essential requirement for it to work) the reader will work in the background to be able to read any label, it also complies with the strict security regulations already that will not work when we have specific applications open.
It will not work while we have the camera, airplane mode or Apple Pay (Wallet) active
And it is that in Apple they want to cure their health and protect the important data stored in the iPhone, so they obviously have thought that in certain applications the NFC will not work in the background. These limitations are: with Active wallet, when we do not have the iPhone unlocked after a restart, when the Core NFC is active, the camera or directly when we have the iPhone in airplane mode, which required the interaction of Face ID to work in all cases.
the new options for developers are that now they will be able to create custom links on labels. In this way, some functions of the iPhone are opened that may be interesting to make their operation easier in applications such as Mail or Safari. In any case we leave you the little video that Apple has for developers so you can see the details.
