Apple has received EU approval for its Near Field Communication (NFC) technology after agreeing to open it to third-party apps. This decision follows the EU's concerns about Apple's monopoly over the technology and its previous refusal to allow access to third-party wallet apps. Apple's commitments include granting third-party wallet providers free access to NFC on iOS devices, implementing a fair and transparent procedure for access, and setting up monitoring and dispute settlement mechanisms. The approval requires Apple to implement these changes by July 25, 2024, and maintain them for ten years【source】.
