Apple to announce new NFC capabilities of the iPhone with the launch of iOS 12 at WWDC: Report

With Apple **Worldwide Developers Conference** 2018 (WWDC) set to kick-off on 4 June, the company is likely to announce a change in near-field communication (NFC) policies when it releases its next-generation iOS 12 operating system (OS).

Notably, since Apple first launched NFC-capable devices iPhone 6 and 6s in 2014, its implementation of NFC has been primarily restricted to Apple Pay transactions. “Apple employees are already using their iPhones to unlock doors at Apple Park, likely via custom badge readers detailed in Federal Communications Commission filings last year,” the report added. With the new capabilities, iPhones would be able to unlock NFC-enabled doors and potentially transmit data to transit systems, personal authentication devices and more. The iPhone-maker has been slow to evolve its NFC policies since adopting the technology nearly four years ago but the company has made moves to expand its limited feature set over the past year, according to A_pple Insider_. Meanwhile, in 2014, when the tech giant was talking with HID about enabling iPhone to access buildings, it also discussed allowing the phone to emulate transit cards made by Cubic —whose transit fare systems are used by tens of millions of people.
