Apple iPhone 5 prototype allegedly had NFC, last minute speculation says final device might too
Share:
Apple developer Will Strafach however doesn’t agree and says it’s too early to write the NFC chip off the list.
all of you annoying doubters of a certain technology being present in the new iPhone, all I will say is: gpio12. I have no way of knowing what will be in the production models, but there would be no reason to remove a major technology that was in an EVT
clarification: N42AP had NFC. I am assuming that if that's CDMA and N41AP is GSM, they both will have it. no reason for just CDMA to. People don't understand other uses, which is quite annoying. much more than just payments.
N42AP here stands for one of the earlier iPhone 5 prototypes. We don’t know whether that’s good enough of an evidence, but it certainly adds some more drama to what seems to be an announcement that everyone thinks Apple won’t surprise. Let’s see - it all start in just around two hours.

Yeah there is word that Apple is going to patent NFC also.

And Samsung will be sued over it. Clearly, Samsung has blatantly and deliberately copied something that Apple would eventually get around to inventing.

glad all the haters are in a good mood.. I am super exited... see Apple fan boys do let the fandroids take shots at Apple because bottom line we are happy and nothing changes that. fandroids on the other hand get all sensitive and personal when Android is verbally attack... 45% satisfaction I can see why..

Even NFC will be limited on Sharing files.. Only Iphone to Iphone transfer will be available as they did with Bluetooth I guess...

I sorry phonearena I am getting tired of your site. everytime I get on here all I am seeing is the same repetitive apple bashers and their pathetic sarcastic jokes.
I swear there has not been a single apple article where these los*rs aren't comparing androids to apple.
