Apple’s Patent Unveils the Future of In-Store Shopping with NFC Product Scanning


Apple's latest 'Product Experience Service' patent hints at a new in-store service providing essential product data instantly.

According to the patent, in the future, you’ll be able to scan a product you’re interested in and instantly receive all the necessary information, such as variants, compatibility with your existing devices, and more. But that’s not all—beyond enhancing the pre-purchase experience, Apple’s new service will also offer post-purchase support, such as easy-to-understand product manuals, relevant apps, and more. So, while it’s a long road ahead, once implemented, this new “Product Experience Service” could change the way we shop in-store.
