Assuming, of course, Apple doesn't decide to "think different". |

Unlike the digital key running on Samsung phone that requiring you to hold your phone next to the door handle to unlock, Apple and BMW want to achieve keyless experience using the new standard. So your iPhone would work just like your BMW key fob. You won't need to hold it next to the door handle to unlock the car. So I would say there should be an update required for this new feature. Also, it wouldn't be surprise to me that if BMW choose to give this feature only to upcoming new models 😀 |

I assumed that if they add digital key to iPhone it will use NFC, just like Samsung phones and the key card (put near the handle to lock/unlock). I will be a big fan if they can achieve a key fob like experience with iPhones and not require taking the phone out of your pocket to work. Those with security concerns should be able to opt-out. I keep my vehicle garaged which eliminates most of those types of worries. |
