Last Monday, June 10, Apple held its annual World Developers Conference or WWDC 2024, in which it presented a series of new features in the different operating systems of its most notable products such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or computers Mac.

All the expectation was focused on what iOS 18 is going to offer on iPhones in the coming months. And although it will not be until the iPhone 16 is presented, possibly in mid-September, that users will be able to try these new features first-hand.

Some functions will be Apple Intelligence, a function that, thanks to AI capabilities, the result of collaboration with OpenAI, will take Siri to a level never seen before.

This is because Apple's virtual assistant has received a huge update that makes it much more capable and skillful, allowing the user to speak to Siri naturally and for it to understand them perfectly, in addition to being able to perform actions. like auto-filling out documents, finding a specific photo, or summarizing an email.

But not all the news is AI, and among those that are not, there is one that stands out above many others due to the fact that it could spell the end of Bizum for Apple users. This is the Tap to Cash function, which would translate as tap to money in Spanish.

And the name itself basically indicates how this tool works, and as Apple explained, now you can send money to others just by bringing the iPhone closer to you. There is no need to share phone numbers or email addresses, you don't even have to share your bank account, you just have to bring one iPhone closer to another.

This function is very similar to AirDrop, but instead of transferring images or files, what is sent is money using NFC technology to make the payment securely and privately. Tap to Cash is integrated into the Apple wallet and will be one of the great novelties that will arrive with iOS 18, and although it will not exactly spell the end of Bizum, because it only works between iPhone devices, it will surely be among Apple users. see the drop in the use of this payment system or transfers.
