Hi there!
That’s a pretty common goal for the implants, and there are definitely some good options for it!
- xHT
The xHT is a low frequency tag, it won’t work with phones - NExT
The NExT is a good option, but it’s a dual frequency implant, and you may not need the LF side. Though it could be nice to have in case you need it in the future - xSIID
The best choice if you also want blinkies, but does perform just a touch worse than some other chips since it takes some power to run the LED
For info on how to scan a chip with your iPhone, check out this video:
To see some more chip options and compare, check out Chip Stuff. Personally I’d recommend a Flex implant for your particular use case, they have a much better read range, so people wouldn’t have to fiddle about with your hand as much to get your info
It depends a little on the implant, but between the two you should be pretty well covered no matter what you get. It’s pretty much as easy as using an app to send the link to the implant from your phone
Nothing specifically implant related, though some people may opt to password lock their implants to prevent unintentional or malicious rewriting
It depends on the chip and the phone, here’s a good resource for it:
Usually they’ll outlive the user
Basically none
Not hard in terms of a thing that’s inside your body, here’s some examples:
Is there anything else you might want to do with your implant in the future? If it’s only ever going to hold a link, and you want the best possible performance, something like the FlexNT would be most excellent I believe
