Apple brings Tap to Pay to more European countries


Apple is bringing its Tap to Pay functionality to more countries throughout Europe. This is happening after the company opened up access to its NFC tech in order to appease the EU.

Apple just brought its Tap to Pay technology for iPhones to a host of new European countries, including Poland, Switzerland, Finland, Hungary, Portugal and several others. The company only allowed third-party developers access to its NFC technology, which powers Tap to Pay, after EU regulators threatened it with a massive antitrust fine. This feature works in today’s announced European countries so long as the customer has an iPhone Xs or newer and that they are running a recent iOS version.
