EU considers forcing Apple to open iPhone’s NFC chip to third parties

The European Union is considering new rules that would likely require Apple to give third parties access to the NFC chip inside iPhones. The new laws would prevent mobile device manufacturers from limiting access to near-field communication technology embedded in smartphones and other devices such as smartwatches, according to documents obtained by Bloomberg News. Since launching NFC in the iPhone in 2014, Apple has limited the chip to its own Apple Pay service
