A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sweet! Isn’t number 4 already possible on iPhones? I assume that just means Apple built it their own way instead of using a standard (that I guess doesn’t exist yet?)
Can you use iPhones as Point of Sales devices?
I've seen plenty of those handheld devices that then attach to phones via Bluetooth for payments, but I haven't seen people use iPhones to scan bank cards for payment.
Or did you mean 5? Because with iOS17, Apple is introducing a way to share your personal data as a 'smart' business card type thing using your phone. And it might be that what was discussed at the NFC forum was a form of that.
It looks like it was added in ios16 https://developer.apple.com/tap-to-pay/
I knew it was recent but I didn't realize it was "current non-beta OS" recent haha
