The functionality that is most missing with the iPhone in stores will arrive in the coming months

An expected update will come to the iPhone soon and it will be possible to make contactless payments with the mobile without additional hardware.

It has always been known that the mobile telephony sector has a rhythm and in Apple they have a different one, for the good and the bad. iPhones are very powerful mobiles, one of the best, something that we check in every analysis we do, but sometimes some features are missing.

If yesterday we published news about how iPhones are going to be used to open hotel doors, today we echo that they will soon be used to accept payments without additional hardware, a service highly demanded by users.

This news has jumped through Bloomberg, medium in which it is reported that it was something that was expected since Apple bought Mobeewave in 2020. This company has always worked on contactless payments and the results are yet to come.

As we published in 2019, Mobeewave has already collaborated with Samsung to add the functionality of contactless card payments and NFC services with different applications such as Samsung Pay and Google Pay.

Now it seems that it is the turn of the iPhone. Although no specific date has been given, it is published that the software update will arrive”in the coming months“. It has not been clarified which series of iPhones it will affect, but it is expected that it will affect the majority.

It’s also unclear if the novelty will be limited to Apple Pay or if it will spread to more applications, even if a new alternative will be used with some partner, but it is likely that with the next beta version of iOS 15.4 this issue will be revealed.

This is a functionality that was taking a long time to reach the iPhone, but now it seems certain that it will be implemented in 2022. Good news for users who will receive it as an update.
