There's a lot of misinformation here...iPhones DO have NFC...that's how Apple Pay works. Newer Samsung phones that are running the latest Android OS are the only ones that will work with this iteration of the digital key (at least as of now).
This digital key is reliant on a secure element (a computer chip within the phone) dedicated to making sure this handshake can happen without customer information being used between devices. While both Samsung and Apple have one in the phones, Apple has opted to wait until the next iteration of NFC around 2020 before considering to allow it on iPhones. I'm not 100% sure of the exact reasoning behind it. |
then i was right thinking of nfc on iphones haha
