Huh, that makes me wonder, last time I upgraded was fairphone 4, and that’s because my previous phone didn’t have NFC, which is very useful nowadays, and it seems to have been a model released in 2017. Did I make a bad choice on my previous phone, or do you not have that either?
Recently I’ve just been using it to pay with (instead of a separate physical card), but when I get my ID updated I believe I can use it to scan the chip inside to verify my identity. I’ll be honest, I think back then I was seeing NFC stuff pop up more often, but not sure if it was a passing trend or if I’ve just not been using stuff where it’d be useful.
Ah iPX had NFC so I use ApplePay all the time. But if something needs to verify my identity, it’s got to have a VERY good reason or it doesn’t get used.
My phone has it’s 10th birthday next year, only thing I think I’m missing is 5G, and probably vital security updates.

What do you use NFC for? Because I literally never use it. Just curious.
As mentioned in another comment, paying with my card through my phone, and when I get a new ID using it to verify identity (on government sites).
Also pinging @HerbGrower@slrpnk.net, since you’re also curious ;D
Well it’s the iPhone X, not sure if it has NFC, what do you use it for?
