NFC Expert Which iPhones support Apple Pay?
Smartphones that support the mobile money transfer facility have a special NFC chip built in, which allows you to exchange data over a short distance. Such a chip was not installed in earlier flagships, so there is a problem in using the mobile transaction system on some Apple devices. Consider which iPhones currently support contactless payments:
- iPhone 6/6 Plus;
- iPhone 6s/6s Plus;
- iPhone 7/7 Plus;
- iPhone SE.
To the dismay of many users, the revolutionary iPhone 5, 5c and 5s do not support Apple Pay. The only possible solution for owners of the flagships of the fifth model is to use the development of the Cupertino company using the Apple Watch smart watch. All you have to do is sync your iPhone 5 with your smartwatch.

So, we figured out the Apple Pay application: which models have a payment service and the ability to make a payment. But why is the work carried out only on new models of devices? This is due to the fact that older models are not equipped with special NFC technology (near contactless communication), which helps to connect the smartphone to the terminal.
