Compared with the iPhone 7 series models that were previously only sold in Japan, they support the use of Suica cards, allowing users to conveniently use the iPhone 7 series models to take subways, MRTs, and even To complete small payments at convenience stores, the iPhone 8 series sold in Taiwan this time has been confirmed to also support the use of Suica cards.
Previously, only the iPhone 7 series models and Apple Watch series sold in Japan supported the use of Suica cards. The reason was whether they were compatible with the FeliCa technology proposed by Sony. Therefore, the iPhone 8 series sold in Taiwan this time also supports Suica cards. It can support the use of Suica cards. It is expected that Apple has integrated FeliCa technology into all versions of the iPhone 8 series (not sure if it is related to the opening of Core NFC technology at WWDC 2017 this year).
The confirmation of support for FeliCa technology means that users will be able to add a digital Suica card to the iPhone 8 series through the Suica official app launched by East Japan Railway Company, or transfer a physical Suica card Card information and deposit amount, and iPhone 8 series models can be used directly as Suica cards.
However, in addition to directly adding a new digital Suica card to the iPhone 8 series, if the user wants to transfer the amount from the existing Suica card, they must change the time zone of the phone to In Japan, you must also note that the Suica card after the data and amount are transferred will not be usable, so it is recommended that it is more convenient to add a new digital version of the Suica card.
When adding a Suica card through the App, you can also choose the unnamed Suica card or the named My Suica card version. You can also choose to create a time ticket version, and the amount will be transferred to Apple Pay recharge, so when users use the digital version of Suica card through iPhone 8 series models in the future, they will no longer have to spend time waiting in line to recharge. They can directly complete the recharge needs on their mobile phones through Apple Pay bound to the credit card. , even in many convenience stores in Japan that support Suica card consumption, you can directly use iPhone 8 series models for contactless payment, eliminating the trouble of changing or insufficient cash.
The iPhone 7 Plus on the right has been updated to iOS 11 and still does not support the use of the Suica card function. Currently, it seems that it is only available for the iPhone 8 series.
