PayPal has introduced its contactless payment feature for iPhone users in Germany.
Previously, iPhone users could only make contactless payments through Apple Pay, as Apple restricted NFC technology access to third parties.
With the enforcement of the EU's Digital Markets Act, Apple was required to allow third-party access to its NFC chip, enabling companies like PayPal to offer contactless payment services on iPhones.
This move follows Norwegian company Vipps MobilePay's implementation of contactless payments on iPhone in December 2024.
