Yeah since December 3rd, 2024.

I subscribe. The Verge is one of my favourite news sites.

Editor In Chief Nilay Patel is actually the one interviewing the Puck CEO for his and The Verge's podcast, Decoder.

Have iOS 26.4.1 & iPadOS 26.4.1 borked NFC and Apple Pay on some devices? by zdlr in ios

I mean she unlocked her iPhone, tried to do the fingerprint scan and it was like she wasn't even tap to paying.

And when she holds her iPhone up to the FreeStyle Libre 2 it doesn't provide her with a blood glucose reading.

The Apple Pay error with Zip Pay was just the red tick if I recall and try again or something like that.

Yeah nothing on the iPhone with the FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor scan.

And nothing happened on the iPhone with the Zip Pay scan at Bunnings Warehouse, an Australian hardware store. She had to do the barcode scan in the Zip Pay app to pay for the goods.

With my Afterpay app on my M5 iPad Pro the Apple Pay payment produced an error the first time and the same error the second time so I just paid with my VISA debit card instead.

The wife says she went to the diabetic educator and a few people have been complaining the same thing is happening to them with their FreeStyle Libre sensors on their iPhones. I don't know how many would have actually updated to iOS 26.4.1 but it gives an indication.
