Tap to Pay on iPhone - Apple Developer

developer.apple.com

Payment apps can now accept contactless payments from contactless credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, Apple Watch, and smartphones with other digital wallets — right on iPhone and without any extra terminals or hardware.

I believe that Apple bought out the company behind this technology, but I wonder if something like this will ever come to Android phones.

It’s something that I’d use for when I do craft fairs and car boot sales without investing in a dedicated reader.

Skimmed through the article quickly and yeah that’s what I interpret as well, this is just NFC Payment, and has been a thing on Android devices for years already.

  Pretty sure it actually predates Apple’s version too…
