Apple has made a major decision on its operating system. Because it has been announced that the American firm will allow more uses of the NFC on its iPhone with iOS 12 as the operating system. A step that somehow breaks part of the hermetism of the firm with its operating system, but puts it on the same level as Android, which has been doing this for a long time.

New APIs will arrive that will allow full access to the phones NFC sensor. It seems that from the iPhone 6 all the models are going to be included in this list. Although the final list of devices has not been confirmed yet.

Apple bets on more NFC

For years, the company has prevented third-party applications from accessing the NFC sensor. Although this change will finally come with iOS 12. Apple wants the iPhone to become the only necessary identification system, so CoreNFC's capabilities can be significantly extended for users. Thus, they can pay on public transport in cities or enter their hotel room using the corresponding application.

It is an important step and it could also have influence or some other changes in Apple Pay, the company's payment system. Because it could be combined with other functions or services that the company wants to offer its users.

The announcement of these developments, and many others that will come to iOS 12, is expected to be made during WWDC 2018 that will be held from June 4 to 8.
