Problem with NFC reader in iPhone 14 Pro
My iPhone 14 Pro is running the latest iOS. Apple Pay and Express Mode for public transport work fine.
However, I need to provide identification for an e-signature app, where I have to scan my passports data page and the chip inside the passport.
When the camera starts to scan the passport, it's on a high zoom lens and I have to hold the passport more than an arms length away from the camera in order to scan the entire page in one go. Then I need to hold the iPhone to the cover page in order to read the data from the chip, but the iPhone seems to not be able to detect that chip.
I also downloaded the Biometric Passport Reader app from the app store. There the camera zoom is off, so that seems to be a specific problem of the other app, but reading the chip doesn't work here either.
Using the same apps on my old iPhone X Pro, both can recognize and read the chip quickly and without any problems.
As far as I know, there is no need to turn on NFC on the iPhone 14 Pro, as it should always be activated? And as I sayd, Apple Pay works fine, though maybe there are different components for receivingand sending NFC data? But then, I would think that the iPhone also needs to recognize when it is near a card reader in order to send the payment data.
