DOJ Lawsuit Aims to Open iPhone NFC Tech to Rival Digital Wallets

• The DOJ antitrust lawsuit against Apple aims to give users more digital wallet and payment options beyond Apple's own apps.

• Authorities want to allow more developers to create their own wallet apps that could work across platforms.

• The suit challenges Apple's NFC restrictions that limit tap-to-pay services on iPhones to Apple Pay only.

• EU regulators have already pushed Apple to provide third-party access to the iPhone's NFC tech.

• Watchdogs worry Apple aims to dominate financial services just as it has the smartphone market.
