  • Earlier this year, Apple opened up the iPhones NFC chip to third-party contactless payment services in the EU to comply with the DMA.
  • Following some extensive evaluation, the EU is reportedly happy with Apples NFC-related changes, and the probe will likely be settled soon.
  • Apple has reportedly committed to maintaining the NFC chips openness for a decade.

A few months ago, Apple rolled out iOS 17.4 with some major, EU-exclusive features to comply with the Digital Markets Acts (DMA). While that iOS updates highlight was support for third-party app stores, Apple implemented some other changes to dodge the EUs hefty fines. These include opening up the iPhones NFC chip to third-party contactless payment platforms. After investigating Apples NFC-related changes, the EU is reportedly happy with the companys execution.

According to a report by the Financial Times, the EU is satisfied with the iPhones NFC-related changes, and its expected to settle the relevant probe soon. By opening up the chip to EU-based third parties, Apple has dodged a significant fine that couldve amounted to 10% of its annual revenue — around $40 billion. The iPhone maker has also pledged to maintain these particular changes for a decade.
