Swiss regulators probe Apple’s NFC rules for possible antitrust violations.
Switzerland’s competition authority has launched a preliminary investigation into Apple’s NFC access policies for iPhones, examining whether its restrictions on third-party developers violate antitrust laws.
The probe focuses on whether Apple’s requirement for commercial agreements and fees to use the NFC chip in Switzerland creates unfair barriers in mobile payments, particularly compared to Android devices.
While Apple opened NFC access in late 2024 under EU pressure, Swiss regulators are assessing if Apple’s separate terms still limit competition and favor Apple Pay.
The investigation, ongoing and without conclusions, follows calls from local payment provider Twint and reflects broader global scrutiny of Apple’s app and hardware controls.
