In the period when we had to live with the pandemic, the importance of contactless payment solutions was understood. Investments in contactless payment systems, which help us not only in terms of hygiene but also in terms of convenience, are increasing rapidly. The new feature announced by Apple is one of these investments. Thanks to the new feature announced, it has become possible for iPhone users to make contactless payments quickly. Moreover, there are exciting developments regarding this feature.
Pay by touch feature announced for iPhone users
Thanks to the NFC chip in iPhones, it is possible to perform secure transactions between two devices that are close to each other. This time Apple is using this chip for payment. Thanks to the new feature announced, it is possible for two nearby devices to transfer money by confirming with just a touch gesture. The most exciting part about this practical payment is that it doesn’t depend on one app.
Thanks to this feature, which all developers can integrate into their own applications, you will be able to use payment by touch in your payment transactions from banking application to cinema application.
Thus, contactless and fast payment takes place. You must have an iPhone XS or later to use the feature. Because the hardware requirement for this process, which takes place with NFC, is only XS and above.
According to Apple’s announcement, the feature will be available with the upcoming iOS beta. So at the moment it is not possible to try a payment by touch feature. We will see whether this contactless payment feature can be used in our country and how practical it will be. However, what is known now is that we will be able to match our credit and debit cards with this payment system. Other than that, not many striking details are known.
