Ah so it's not like the chips built into smart cards and passport chips where a stimulating transmitter just has to have it's power boosted to increase the range?
I thought NFC was more passive, if it can be turned off until "unlocked" that would solve security.
ETA: Ah, I see it's an extension of that earlier RFID passive system.
It's an evolution of RFID but it's vastly different. Two devices create a secure, wireless local loop with a range of only a few inches. This magnetic field and short loop offer many security benefits over an omni-directional wireless signal.
Thanks, but where is the "not a solution to any current problem" quote and why is it some how hypocritical after two full years to now have the technology be where they need it to be. Remember that NFC is absolutely pointless as only HW or only HW and SW on your device if there are no partners in place to make it convenient feature to use… and that's before you even consider security, which may require the 2nd generation of their secure enclave on the A-series chip.

It can always receive a transmission, but the user controls any outgoing transmissions, usually via an app.

Who said this? Apple? Can you cite a source?

Oh, hello, September 2012; how are you?

Oh, the same interview. AI’s article just doesn’t show it.
