Apple Pay updates could include support for earning loyalty points and receiving receipts
In the future, iPhones and Apple Watches may support simultaneous actions via NFC, as proposed by the NFC Forum.
The NFC Forum, a leading authority on Near Field Communication (NFC), has unveiled NFC Multi-Purpose Tap, allowing multiple actions with a single tap. This innovation enhances convenience across NFC applications like point-to-point receipt delivery, loyalty programs, identification, and comprehensive transit ticketing.
Apple initially integrated NFC into the iPhone 6 and original Apple Watch for Apple Pay transactions.
With NFC Multi-Purpose Tap, iPhone users could perform multiple tasks in one tap, such as making payments, earning loyalty points, and receiving receipts, and given Apple’s active role in the NFC Forum, it suggests NFC Multi-Purpose Tap could feature in future Apple Pay updates.
