7 NFC Restrictions
Apple maintains tight control over its devices’ NFC systems, often not allowing third-party developers to use it at all. That’s a shame, especially when considering how many exciting features NFC could enable — it already has on the more open-source Android OS. iOS 11, however, introduces Core NFC with slightly loosened restrictions. While it’s a bit limited now, it’s a step in the right direction and could open a lot of doors in future iOS versions.
