Now that most of the major stuff such as screen, processor etc. has been leaked a million times, the rumour mill is now shifting its focus to radio. According to the latest iPhone 6 leak, the device could have something we’ve never seen on an iPhone before.
Before you get your expectations high, let us tell you that it is NFC that we’re talking about. Android powered NFC phones have been around like since forever, but 2014 could be the first time that we see an iPhone that rocks an NFC chip. Apple are known to implement tech in their own manner (take for example their usage of Bluetooth) which has often been restrictive, so it will be interesting to see how they go about implementing NFC.
NFC hasn’t particularly had a great run with smartphone enthusiasts, with not a lot of exclusive functionality. Google tried implementing the ‘Tap & Pay’ feature, which to say the least, has found users few and far between. Nonetheless, we look forward to seeing Apple use the NFC technology (if it has to happen indeed) in the coming months!
