How to use the function of iPhone bus card
4hw.com.cn: in the early morning of this morning, apple officially pushed the official version of IOS 11.3 to iPhone users. The reason why IOS 11.3 attracted so much attention was that it had previously restricted the performance and function of old devices, allowing users to choose performance mode or health mode independently. In addition, IOS 11.3 also had a surprise. In IOS 11.3, mobile phones can be used as bus cards. How to use iPhone bus cards? Let's take a look.
1. Which iPhones can upgrade and swipe traffic cards
A: in a word, iPhone 6 and above.
Based on the mobile device and apple pay, the function update of the express traffic card is theoretically within the scope of this function for iPhones with NFC, apple pay support and IOS 11.3 upgrade.
Specifically including: iPhone se, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 plus, iPhone X.
Overseas iPhone users can also use the new function, including the US version, Hong Kong version and Japanese Version (the area where the iPhone needs to be set is in China).
2. Can other apple devices be used
A: all Apple watches except the first generation can be used independently, and all iPads are not available.
The watch series 1 and later models after the update of watch OS 4.3 can use the fast traffic card independently without networking. Detailed models include: Apple watch series 1, series 2, series 3 and the same generation of sports, Hermes edition, edition ceramic plate, etc.
Unfortunately, the first generation of Apple watch didn't support fast traffic cards; without NFC, the iPad series couldn't either.
In addition, because the fast traffic card is in the apple transit framework of the mobile phone, the iPhone 5 cannot be updated. So for iPhone 5 users, with an apple watch, the watch can't use the traffic card function.
3. Which occasions can I use express transportation card?
Answer: Beijing's bus and subway; Shanghai's bus, subway, maglev and ferry.
At present, the first batch of express transport cards are available in Beijing and Shanghai, where Beijing supports public transport and subway, and Shanghai supports public transport, subway, ferry and maglev.
Apple's fast traffic card is limited to the public transportation scene, and convenience store payment and taxi payment cannot be used temporarily.
Apple officials didn't give any further information on whether it would move into more cities after the express card.
At present, the traffic card payment between cities, countries and countries is relatively independent, and it can not be concluded that the domestic card scheme can be used in the international bus card.
4. How to open the card?
A: you can only open the card by mobile phone, and the card opening fee is 20 yuan
The functions of the express traffic card are integrated in the wallet application - add the card, pay 20 yuan for opening the card, and recharge (the minimum charge for recharging in Beijing is 1 yuan, and that in Shanghai is 10 yuan), you can open it directly.
Click the sign sign in the traffic card interface to recharge.
Fast traffic card can also transfer the balance of existing physical traffic card to virtual traffic card, and can enjoy the discount of physical card. For example, Beijing traffic card will have a discount after a certain amount of consumption.
However, although the balance of the physical card can be transferred into the virtual card, the accumulation of the discount is recalculated according to the time of opening the virtual card.
In addition, apple express traffic card can't support transferring student traffic card into virtual card for the time being, so it can't enjoy corresponding preferential policies.
5. Can I return the card or money when I change the machine?
A: Yes, the card is tied to Apple's account and can be changed to a new machine; and the balance can be withdrawn
Apple express traffic card is bound with apple ID. when the user changes the machine, the virtual traffic card and amount will be transferred to the new device with the account.
In addition, through the Beijing bus one card and Shanghai bus app, you can return the card opening balance and card balance to the corresponding account, that is, withdrawal.
6. Can I recharge the physical card through iPhone?
A: No, NFC can only read, not write.
We have previously confirmed that Apple's NFC can only be used for reading, but not for writing. Therefore, even if Apple has implemented a virtual traffic card in the system, the iPhone still cannot recharge the physical card, whether it is an official or a third-party application.
In short, Apple has a built-in virtual traffic card scheme that supports its identification and response on major gateways, as well as the balance transfer from physical cards to virtual cards. However, it is not 100% complete information transfer, so similar places such as student card, rental payment, 24-hour convenience store, etc. are not available, nor is it possible to recharge the physical card in reverse.
7. Whether to unlock the mobile phone when swiping the subway card
A: no touch ID or face ID authentication is required.
The fast traffic card does not need to wake up in use. When the mobile phone is close to the bus and Metro gate, the mobile phone will wake up the fast traffic card automatically and charge for swiping the card.
The whole process does not need any verification of biometric identification (fingerprint or face recognition is not required). At the same time, when the mobile phone is connected to the network, it will be recorded in the subway card swiping location and cost.
By the way, let's talk about privacy. On the iPhone, it records the last 50 swipes, but you can manually delete each record.
At the same time, the data will only be stored in your phone, not in Apple's cloud account.
8. Can it be used after power failure?
A: no
The implementation principle of Apple express traffic card is similar to that of Apple pay, which uses the signal coil to be activated; therefore, the function of the traffic card cannot be used when the mobile phone is not powered on or powered off.
9. Can I open multiple cards on the device?
A: Yes, both iPhone and apple watch can open multiple cards.
Both iPhone and watch support binding multiple cards. For example, you can open up to 12 Beijing traffic cards on iPhone 8 or newer models. In addition, you can switch which card is the main card in the program; you can also choose the cards that come to Beijing and Shanghai at the same time according to different locations. For people who often travel to Beijing and Shanghai, this function can better help people manage their own traffic cards.
10. Can Apple watch be used when it is not connected to the Internet?
A: Yes, you can go out without 4G, WiFi or mobile phone.
Apple watch can use the express traffic card independently without connecting to the mobile phone and disconnecting from the network.
And the experience is better: for example, when you are watching video, answering wechat or making a phone call with your mobile phone, the mobile phone experience when you cross the gate is relatively awkward. And a watch only needs the wrist to cross naturally.
We simulated the winter watch in the sleeve. It can be recognized through the brake mending machine.
