- koffiezet 13y agoNFC has no real world use-cases, and the implementation in Android sucks (no access to NFC from the Native SDK, not all card/tag types supported, and Google not being very helpful when asking questions about it) and compatibility of the NFC readers highly depends from phone model to phone model. Simple stuff? Sure that works. The interesting stuff? Or it should work but doesn't, or it's not supported. Source: I work in a company that specializes in NFC/RFID stuff for public transport, and we tried getting it to work. Apple chose to take another path: they use BlueTooth, another standard. BT 4.0 can do everything NFC can (functionality-wise, tech is obviously not compatible), and then some. BT 4.0 is very low-power, devices only supporting subsets of BT4 can be made extremely cheap, and it doesn't require a huge antenna to be able to power nearby NFC tags or RFID chips.
