Hi all,
The documentation indicates that CoreNFC is only supported on iPhone 7 and 7+.
Is that only for this stage of beta? Is support for an expanded range of "Apple Pay"-enabled devices planned (e.g. iPad Air 2, iPad Pro, etc.)?
Sincerely,
Rosco
iPhone 6 is missing the necessary hardware to read passive tags, so it will not come in a later release. Read https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25753473/reading-nfc-tags-with-iphone-6-ios-8 for the gory details.
It's unclear whether Apple plans to expand support for CoreNFC to devices older than iPhone 7 and 7 Plus — I don't believe any hardware limitation prevents such support. But to my knoweldge, no iPad has NFC hardware, making CoreNFC incompatable with iPads.
