the last posts about it are from 2022 or 2021 and not much is said about

This post is very similar to yours.
Have a read

flexNT NFC Chip VS flexMN (Magic NTAG + T5577)

So the flexNT has a 13.56MHz ISO14443A & NFC Type 2 chip and the flexMN has a Magic NTAG and a T5577 chip. What’s the difference between the flexNT and the flexMN when it comes to their NFC capabilities? (I am specifically wanting to use it for sending people to my Linktree for my digital contact info.) Which one has a better read range? I am thinking of getting it implanted in my forearm and wondering if my location idea would work. (see photo) [image]

EDIT FlexNT to FlexMN
FlexMN -
The narrow flex is not made anymore, I asked to have one custom made, but Amal refused because the chip itself is not stable/reliable with such a small antenna.
So it’s only available in the FlexDisc, and it is the same size as the FlexMT.
I had one, and the performance of that mother fucker was the best of any implant I have owned. (i didn’t install it because it was going to take up too much hand real-estate)
HOWEVER
I do have installed a FlexNT, and although it’s not my favourite implant (for my purposes) it is 100% my best performing (read range) implant I own, and i reccomend that to anybody wanting an NTAG216 for thing like sharing links, business cards etc.
It is a great implant.
I had mine installed atop my radius bone of the forearm halfway up.
The install was attempted with a custom needle, but needed the edges opened with a scalpel, I would not reccomend this method.
Go scalpel straight away.

here’s a good FlexNT video

Performance difference between xNT and flexNT implantable NFC transponder

You have actually dragged it out of me.
I have been planning a review of my FlexNT for a while now (i think i have a draft) spoiler alert, I talk about it being an under rated implant but it’s actually a sleeping giant

ALL THAT SAID
I’m going to suggest you go down the Apex Flex path.
Heres why

@Geroo

If the FlexNT is the only other NFC flex chip right now then I will get it,

Well, The FlexM1 can operate like one BUT it doesnt play nice with iPhones

But
The APEX can function similar to other NTAG216s with regards to NDEF, i fack you can choose the size you want, and it can be far larger than the 888bytes of the NTAG216.

There are also other functions

@tac0s

The sort of security it offers is the thing your don’t realize you would benefit from until after something goes wrong

This

@Geroo

My problem with the Apex is that I don’t feel quite ready to get into all the applet things and fear to get it bricked or something like that

this should not be a concern, it would be more likely with a FlexSecure, but only if you were poking around without knowledge.
The ApexFlex is like the FlexSecure for dummies (thats why I have an Apex)
Fidesmo is like the App store and you simply download the App you wan’t.

We here on the forum will help you through the setup etc. so you dont need to do it alone.

I would never steer anybody wrong, and I would suggest that the FlexNT or Apex Flex are your best options for what you are wanting.

If you can afford it, get yourself an APEX flex.

@tac0s

I love my Apex. It is a part of my daily life.

Mine too

@tac0s

Hopefully that didn’t come across as a sales pitch, haha.

Haha, You are in a tricky spot now being staff.

Not at all, I didn’t read your post like that at all.
You just sound like anybody else on the forum giving their best advice.

Keep being awesome @tac0s
