Apple Pay Global NFC Lineup Updated with iPhone 11/Apple Watch 5

The Apple Pay Japan page has a special place in Apple’s web site galaxy. It is the only page that lists global NFC specs for Apple devices. This was the page where we learned about global FeliCa iPhone 8/iPhone X/Apple Watch 3 because Apple didn’t announce anything. So the Apple Pay Japan page check is a ritual and final word of global NFC support for every new Apple device.

There were no surprises after the latest new iPhone announcement. We all knew the Apple Pay Japan device spec list would be updated with iPhone 11/iPhone 11 Pro/Apple Watch Series 5 at some point, which it finally was this week. The ritual and peace of mind is always a good thing.

Just one last little question for Apple: when does the Hong Kong Apple Pay page finally join the Apple Pay Japan page for global NFC device specs now that iOS 13 Hong Kong Wallet mentions travel cards and Apple Pay Octopus is coming soon?
