Sweet! Isn’t number 4 already possible on iPhones? I assume that just means Apple built it their own way instead of using a standard (that I guess doesn’t exist yet?)

Can you use iPhones as Point of Sales devices?
I've seen plenty of those handheld devices that then attach to phones via Bluetooth for payments, but I haven't seen people use iPhones to scan bank cards for payment.
Or did you mean 5? Because with iOS17, Apple is introducing a way to share your personal data as a 'smart' business card type thing using your phone. And it might be that what was discussed at the NFC forum was a form of that.
not sure about apple because they're ultra locked, but on android it's possible from android 8.1
It looks like it was added in ios16 https://developer.apple.com/tap-to-pay/
I knew it was recent but I didn't realize it was "current non-beta OS" recent haha
it's already possible on android phones, i'm using an app called "mypos glass" to get payments using my phone as a POS
