Can you use your iPhone to enter an amusement park (without a stupid last decade barcode screen shots) with contactless ticket, without even opening the phone, or can you buy a train / airline ticket and use then NFC to access the train /airline? No, because Apple is stiffling a competition and preventents companies to be innovative.
Can you charge a 30 -day metrocard to your iPhone? You can for Android, but not for iPhone.
For instance, a French operator SNCF has this mentioned on their web site: ”if you are a customer with an NFC-compatible Android smartphone, you must install the “Ticket sans contact” (contactless ticket) extension offered by our partner Wizway Solutions.”
This is not available for an iPhone because Apple is protecting their Apple Pay revenues.
Other example:

”You can now load ScotRail Smart tickets onto ScotRail and SPT Subway Smartcards using an NFC-enabled Android phone and the latest version of the
ScotRail app.”
APPLE IS STIFFLING COMPETITION! Hence, they are
under investigation.
