There has been a lot of speculation to whether the new iPhone 5 will come with the NFC (Near field communication) technology but of course there are the pros and cons that come with it. NFC technology has been around for quite a while now and is used every single day in Japan to pay for almost anything with just a mobile phone!
iPhone 5 NFC technology?
The NFC is a short-range technology and requires 4CM or less distance between you and a card reader and your items are payed for leaving your hands completely FREE, but it doesn't stop here the technology can also be used for other things such as automatic airline tickets, travel cards, identity documents and a whole lot more... Now imagine your on your way to work, pickup a newspaper open it and start reading while your iPhone 5 does all of the paying continue on your journey and wait for the bus and just hop on as you pass the drivers window your ID card has been scanned all for you no more messing around in pockets or wallets! All it takes is just one swipe of your phone. Does this mean we can throw our wallets away? We will have to wait and see!

Now I know what your all thinking... this is going to be a major headache what if someone steals your phone? Can someone swipe it without me knowing? Well the answer is NO! The technology works as follows:
1. You are at the checkout
2. iPhone 5 must be waved over the till scanner
3. Till recognizes if your iPhone 5 can make payment
4. Price appears on the till and a request for the pin is asked on the phones handset
5. Handset will keep a record of the last 30 days of transactions
6. Spending limit will be just £15 put expected to rise!
7. All transactions will appear as normal on your bank/credit card statements.
8. If your iPhone 5 is stolen and used you can claim it back as its fraud just like lost/stolen credit cards.
So the efforts have been made to protect us of theft or loosing our phones but this is all complete and utter speculation nobody knows 100% this technology will exist in the new iPhone 5 we will all just have to wait and see.
