Also, I’m not sure if people are aware of the number of radio systems that enable their smartphones.

NFC (eg. Apple Pay) is a radio, range a few cm. Bluetooth is a radio, a few meters. WiFi is several radio systems, range tens of meters. Cell phone is several radio systems, range up to kilometers. GPS (and rival systems) range up to thousands of kilometers.
