Comment on Apple Pay will support NFC tagsparent

QR code requires at least one more step which is using the camera. Hopefully this will be just a single tap and confirm.

It’s not, you have to double tap the power button to invoke Apple Pay.

Apple Pay is invoked automatically whenever the phone is near a point of sale.

And since the nfc tags will have a predetermined, set payment amount associated with them, even biometrics shouldn’t be necessary.

That only works with active NFC readers though. Presumably these tags are passive and aren't emitting a signal that would wake up the iPhone
