Can you imagine tapping your iPhone and being able to pay for anything without using Apple pay? This situation is very real for German iPhone users, with reports that PayPal’s tap-to-pay features are now available in the country (through) iPhone tick,
Actually, this is not a huge surprise. The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) already forced Apple to open the iPhone NFC Chips to third party payment providers. Payal also announced that it will introduce this facility in Germany Press release At the beginning of the month.
This feature is only for iPhone. Sorry, Android users, but it should work with payment terminals that support the master card. Depending on my limited experience of traveling in Germany, this is unlikely to be difficult.
Ruckus The note is that it is not the first third-party tap-to-pay system to enter iPhones. While Norway is not actually a member of the European Union, the local payment app VIPPS was the first company to take advantage of the newly opened NFC system in December.
Obviously, PayPal is a great deal, and it is unlikely that it will limit tap-to-pay in the German market for a long time-assuming that everything goes well.
Can this America also come?
While most DMA-iOS changes are limited to the European Union, Apple has confirmed that it must have been opening tap-to-pay in other areas also – Kicked that process including America with everyone iOS 18.1Which came in October.
According to Apple, developers will be able to offer “in-app contactless transactions” for various things, including payment, car keys, transit passes, IDs, hotel rooms key and even prize cards. Government ID support is also expected to come at some point in future.
Changes also allow iPhone users to accept contactless payments through NFC. This means that you can send money to your friends by tapping your phone together, instead of going through the motions of finding your account on Venom or any other payment provider.
APIs were provided for developers in America, Britain, Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Brazil. It is dependent on PayPal (or whoever is interested) to do so.
