​UK Government Leak Reveals an Improved Feature on iPhone 11 – NFC Support

The new feature iPhone is going to have will be available at the end of the year, Home Secretary Sajid Javid said, speaking about the mobile application developed for the Home Office of the UK Government. The application will help register foreign nationals in the United Kingdom as the departure of the UK from the European Union issue is on the table and more in dispute as ever.

Developers had no sight of the iPhone hardware parts as Apple has been prohibitive without exception​ but now, this one area looks like it is ready to be released.

The ID Document Check app checks a resident’s identity from far away by authenticating the chip in their passport or identity card, scanning their information and adding it to the application. To check if the document belongs to the candidate, face recognition is used to verify their identity, Sajid Javid​ said.

​UK Government Leak Reveals an Improved Feature on iPhone – NFC Support

Apple will make available the identity document check the app on their devices by the end of this year. The third-party developers weren’t able to use the iPhone’s NFC chip to carry out the same job because of Apple’s fully implemented restrictions – even if the feature was already available on Android.

Apple must have changed its policy about NFC access if Javid made such a declaration. We don’t think that this feature will only be available for the United Kingdom Government, so developers can get ready to put the NFC functionality to use to the iOS-powered iPhone​ from Android apps.

What this means is that every iPhone devices can be used in numerous real-world contexts as for example opening hotel rooms, getting tickets for mass transit structures, and by utilizing NFC for identification, a faster Bluetooth pairing, and even more.
