iPhone 12 having weaker NFC reading capabilities

Hi Apple Community,


I have an NFC business and I'm noticing that the readability of NFC on the iPhone 12 is considerably weaker than on the iPhone XS to iPhone 11. Any reason for this?


Can this be solved via software update?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers



iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

I've had iPhone X, 11 Pro Max and now iPhone 12 Pro Max and have noticed no difference in the NFC capabilities over my previous phones. So, I'm not sure what needs to be fixed. Are you asking about your phone, or just phones you've seen people use at your business?


To be honest, this is the first post I can recall about anyone suggesting they think NFC is weaker on iPhone 12.
