Hi there,


It depends what you mean by enabling NFC.

iPhone 12 Pro max does have NFC And is compatible with Apple Pay if this is what you mean because apple pay is the only way you can use the NFC Chip in the iPhone to make payments con-tactlessly.

If this is the case just open the wallet app and add a card.

Set up Apple Pay – Apple Support


But if you are referring to just being able to read NFC Tags as far as I am aware (haven't tried it myself) you can just hold the iPhone to a NFC Chip on the Home-screen. I know theres a control centre button somewhere but I cant remember where I have seen it.


Hope this helps!
