Nintendo NFC amiibo Reader and Writer for iPhone

The Nintendo NFC amiibo Reader and Writer for iPhone is a peripheral developed by Nintendo for use with various Apple hardware through a Lightning connector. It enables read/write NFC communication between amiibo figurines and cards and the target device. It is similar in appearance to the Nintendo 3DS equivalent.
==Hardware compatibility==
As with other Lightning accessories, the NFC amiibo Reader and Writer can be used with the iPhone 5–7, fourth-generation iPad, iPad Air line, iPad Mini line, iPad Pro, fifth- and sixth-generation iPod Touch, and iPod Nano.
==Functionality==
The NFC amiibo Reader and Writer opens the abilities of amiibo to iOS apps, expanding their usage to a non-Nintendo platform, and thus beyond the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch.
The functionality of amiibo varies from app to app at the discretion of the developers. amiibo use through the peripheral is not restricted to App Store apps; some of Apple's proprietary apps support the NFC amiibo Reader and Writer as well. For instance, tapping an amiibo in the Messages app unlocks access to a sticker of the character on the base.
