It is unlikely Apple will be introducing any more Lightning devices. As such, for +supportsSmartCardOverUSBC, we can use the list of all released Lightning devices, assuming that any device that doesn't use Lightning uses USB-C. This will prevent having to release app updates every time Apple releases a new device.
All iPhones since iPhone 7 have supported NFC. Switch to checking that the current device is an iPhone and is not earlier than the iPhone 7 for +deviceIsNFCEnabled. This way, we won't have to issue updates when new iPhones are released by Apple.

Hello,
Apple introduced new iPad models a couple days ago, all of which use USB-C. However, because Yuibikit uses a list of known models to check support for USB-C, apps using Yubikit will need to update to work on these devices.
Becuase the EU is requiring that all smartphones use USB-C by the fall of this year, and since that is when Apple releases new iPhones, it is unlikely that Apple will ever release another Lightning iDevice again.
This pull request contains a change to switch
+supportsSmartCardOverUSBCto use a list of devices which don't support USB-C. If you accept this pull request, going forward, apps will not have to update when new devices come out in order to support USB-C on these devices.It also contains a similar change to
+ deviceIsNFCEnabledfor the same reason. It assumes that all future iPhones will have NFC capability, and that other iDevices will not.Thank you for your consideration.
