I applied for an e-Visa, via iPhone app, last night for next year travels. I figured I should do this as there'll likely be a flood of Chinese tourists next year and requirements may change so better to get something approved now (and maybe get grandfathered).
The app asked me to move my iPhone against my passport info page until it read a "chip". When applying web on-line, they ask for you to send a picture of the page but the app, using my iPhone, was somehow able to read a chip.
I never knew there was a chip. Pretty cool
FYI

With the ReadID NFC app you can read the NFC chip that is in your passport or identity card, using the NFC capability of your iPhone (iPhone 7 or later). This app is based on ReadID, a mobile identity document verification technology.
