For the past several years people expected NFC to be added to the iPhone. Once again people were wrong. Apple has recently been granted a patent for what seems like an NFC alternative! The new signal would be able to tell if the signal was with another phone, or a payment device, then bringing up the correct apps. If it detected another mobile device it would bring up a sharing app. If it detected a mobile device it would bring up a Passbook type app. Apple has also been granted several patents on actual NFC technology. Apple also purchased a company known to work with NFC. Down the road Apple devices will most likely have NFC or an NFC alternative. What are your thoughts?
