Apple has joined the NFC Forum as a top-tier sponsor and taken a seat on the group’s board of directors, NFC World reports. Apple introduced an NFC chip last year in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to enable Apple Pay and is now in a prime position to help steer new developments in the technology. The NFC Forum’s website now lists Apple among its sponsor members – the highest level of membership – alongside companies like Samsung, Visa and Sony. Aon Mujtaba, a director of wireless systems engineering at Apple, has been appointed the company’s representative on the NFC Forum board of directors. In June Apple made a similar move, gaining voting rights and a board seat in Bluetooth’s Special Interest Group by becoming a Promoter Member. [via 9to5Mac]
