The iPhone SE 3 apparently has an on-device authentication feature to help speed up the buying process.
has now revealed the existence of a new"on-device authentication" feature that will cut out the middlemen and speed up the buying process.
Right now, when you buy an iPhone in the US at an Apple retail store or through the company's website, you are asked to provide your wireless phone number as well as the last four digits of the Social Security number. This helps carriers conduct a credit check and greenlight the transaction. The downside is that this adds time to the buying process and also results in a poor customer experience in scenarios when activation servers are overloaded.
That will change starting with the iPhone SE 3. Consumers who choose AT&T or T-Mobile as their carriers will not be asked to provide the aforementioned details or choose a network plan at the time of purchase. Instead, they will be allowed to take their new phone home and enter the data and connect to the carrier after they switch on the device.
Apple's website has already adopted the new process and stores will begin following it from March 29. The feature will also be extended to Verizon users at a later unspecified date. Apple will also allow consumers to purchase the iPhone SE 3 in stores with Apple Card monthly installment plans without connecting the device to a carrier.iPhone 14 seriesThis is a part of a push by Apple to reduce reliance on carriers.
