Looking for info on how to add the SUICA to your iphone? I’ve got you covered!
Due to the chip shortage and discontinuation of the Suica card, you can get the welcome suica card or even bettr and easier, add the suica card to your apple wallet on your Iphone. This is how you can add the suica Iphone apple wallet.
If you’re an iPhone user, instead of getting a physical IC card such as Suica and Pasmo (whose sales have been suspended indefinitely due to global semiconductor shortage), you can directly add Suica, Pasmo, and Icoca cards in your Wallet without going through the App Store. These cards can be conveniently loaded with Apple Pay. Just follow these steps.
