Try downloading the free app, NFC Checker and see if your NFC is activated. If it’s not active the NFC module is likely defective.


You can also request remote diagnostics by contacting Apple Support. If you’re in the US please call 1-800-MY-APPLE or outside the US, consult the support articles below.

If more convenient, please make an appointment at a nearby Apple Retail Store, using the link below.
