There's an Android cellphone (with replaceable battery!) for the blind market, which includes NFC and the WayAround app for reading their NFC tags, which are designed for attaching to food items in fridge/freezer/cupboard, clothes (laundry ready buttons) and more.

Generic NFC tags can be rewritten to work with WayAround, https://store.gototags.com/nfc-tags/nfc-tokens/?product_list_order=top_seller&product_list_dir=desc https://store.gototags.com/nfc-tags/nfc-tokens/?product_list... & https://old.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/txc1du/whats_the_advantage_of_wayaround_waytags_as/?rdt=63368 https://old.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/txc1du/whats_the_adv...
> You can copy a Wayaround tag onto a generic tag and it will operate on the Wayaround app same way. HOWEVER, you cannot just use generic tags freely. The tag does not really hold the information you "write" to it. It just has a serial number that it looks up on your account when you read it. I copied a blank Wayaround tag to a generic one, then had the app set that tag as Artwork, Statue of Cthulhu. Both tags now respond with that same result.
On iOS, NFC tags can be used to trigger user-scripted Shortcuts that speak audio or take other scripted actions when the iPhone is tapped on a tag. Requires Lockdown mode and Airplane mode to be disabled. No app necessary. For a quick demo, some public transit passes are NFC and readable by iPhone. Even if the pass is expired, the NFC identity function can be used indefinitely.
