The UK government has admitted its flagship app to allow EU citizens to apply for residency after Brexit will not work on Apple phones.
One of the flustered officials suggested that iPhone users should borrow an Android phone from a friend or family member to make the application.
The issue arises due to Apple's lockdown of its NFC chip, which is not accessible to third party apps. Thus the iPhone version of the app is unable to read data from the chip in biometric passports.
