Yes, it comes as part of a kit which also includes one or two 14 day Sensors. Not sure of the exact price, I believe somewhere around $200. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of terri elliott Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2018 12:30 PM To:

It most likely means to tell you that your iPhone 6S which I assume you mean when you say iPhone S-6 is not compatible with the Libre sensor. It says clearly in the app description that you need at least an iPhone 7 or higher because it uses NFC (nearfield communication) technology to scan the

Yes, the app needs access to NFC which requires an iPhone 7 or newer. It is only from the iPhone 7 that apple let some third-party apps to use NFC. On earlier iPhones can only use NFC for Apple pay. Cheers, Brett. On 6 November 2018 4:08:23 pm Terri Stimmel wrote: Hello everyone,

I understand that here in Canada the app is available and the reader is accessible using Iphone 7 and greater. The app uses NRC technology to read the sensor data using voice over to verbalize it for us. I will be trying the sensor as soon as I upgrade my phone, probably this fall.
