Good fit if

  • Fleets still on Lightning iPhones that need a physical connection rather than a tap.

Look elsewhere if

  • Anyone on a USB-C iPhone.
  • A 5C NFC costs less and taps instead of plugging in.

Fleets still on Lightning iPhones that need a physical connection rather than a tap.

Where it is the wrong choice: anyone on a USB-C iPhone. A 5C NFC costs less and taps instead of plugging in.
