iPhone 5, iPad 2 to Sport NFC Technology?
TFTS:
Apple patent application indicates its future mobile device may include NFC e-wallet systems.
"Near-field communication (NFC) works through very short range transfer of information. This can be useful when sharing contact information, activating Bluetooth over the air, and making on-site mobile payments. Some social networks are also implementing NFC as a method of checking in at a place or sharing information on a real-world tagged item."
"With a recent patent filing by Apple, an e-Wallet icon is seen as appearing on Springboard illustrations, alongside other internal iPhone (or iPad?) apps."
