NFC is getting a range boost

theverge.com Jess Weatherbed 2025-09-27 02:12:11

The next version of the Near Field Communication (NFC) standard aims to make it easier to make payments, pair devices, and unlock doors using your phone or smartwatch. The most notable improvement is a boost to the distance of contactless connections from 0.5cm to 2cm, extending the range by x4. The NFC Release 15 standard update means NFC chips shouldn’t need to be as precisely aligned with terminals to register a connection, which is especially beneficial for users who have to fumble with sma

I will refrain from giving even more air to this nonsense by linking to the stories.

Framework Laptop 12 review: I’m excited to see what the 2nd generation looks like

Some Animal Crossing Lego sets are cheaper than ever

I don’t know about you, but I’ve gotten back into Animal Crossing: New Horizons in a pretty big way since the Switch 2 arrived. I’ve started a new island (the game loads faster and runs better on that console), and I’ve been doing house chores to the relaxing music.
