iPhone 7: Activate NFC - Here's how
The iPhone 7 also has an NFC chip installed. This practical tip will tell you whether you can also activate the function.
iPhone 7: NFC not yet usable
RFID tags that you can read and write with an NFC chip are very practical in everyday life. Apple device users still have to be patient:
- Both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 7 have an NFC chip built in, but this can only be used for Apple Pay.
- This service is not yet available in Germany, which means that the interface is currently unusable in this country.
- But there is hope: Apple has announced that iOS 11 will expand NFC functionality. After all, there will probably be the reading function for the iPhone 7 (types 1 to 5 in NDEF format).
- Unfortunately, you still cannot describe an NFC tag with your iPhone. It remains to be seen whether Apple will unlock this function in future updates.
