My phone has it’s 10th birthday next year, only thing I think I’m missing is 5G, and probably vital security updates.
Huh, that makes me wonder, last time I upgraded was fairphone 4, and that's because my previous phone didn't have NFC, which is very useful nowadays, and it seems to have been a model released in 2017. Did I make a bad choice on my previous phone, or do you not have that either?
Well it’s the iPhone X, not sure if it has NFC, what do you use it for?
Recently I've just been using it to pay with (instead of a separate physical card), but when I get my ID updated I believe I can use it to scan the chip inside to verify my identity. I'll be honest, I think back then I was seeing NFC stuff pop up more often, but not sure if it was a passing trend or if I've just not been using stuff where it'd be useful.
Ah iPX had NFC so I use ApplePay all the time. But if something needs to verify my identity, it’s got to have a VERY good reason or it doesn’t get used.
What do you use NFC for? Because I literally never use it. Just curious.
As mentioned in another comment, paying with my card through my phone, and when I get a new ID using it to verify identity (on government sites).
Also pinging @HerbGrower@slrpnk.net, since you're also curious ;D
Also curious, never used it. Got FF4, not sure if I have NFC or not.
