    NFC might soon take the ‘tap’ out of tap-to-pay.

    I can’t think of anything worse. I don’t want to walk past a payment kiosk and accidentally pay for who knows what.

    Is it really a big problem right now?
    Like we have Bluetooth for medium range, wifi for long range, and NFC for short range.
    I would argue it’s a feature.

      Respectfully, did you read the article? They’re talking about NFC increasing the range from ~5mm to 30mm. It’s not about competing with Bluetooth use cases, it’s about an improvement in the user experience with contactless payments and door access, etc.
