Posted on 17. Aug, 2010 by admin in Technology
It is rumored that iPhone 5 will have the NFC capabilities exploited to the maximum, and if Apple succeeds that, there will be no need to carry credit cards or travel cards and keys of any sort in the future.
The iPhone apps are helping Apple promote iPhone very much, and these days there is an app for almost anything making the iPhone an all-in-one gadget that can address most things in day-to-day life.
Apple has been trying to add more technology into their iPhone and have employed a Product Manager with a NFC (Near Field Communication) expertise at Apple Mobile Commerce Product, it certainly looks that the iPhone maker is looking at making life even more simpler with its next variant, the iPhone 5.
NFC or BlueTooth capabilities in an iPhone actually could actually eliminate physical carrying of physical cards (credit, debit, even ID and toll cards)and keys to open doors of cars or house thus facilitating starting of car engines.
NFC technology is used basically in Barclay card , Oyster Card, and car keys wherein payments can made and car doors can be opened using an encrypted transmission over the compatible receiver. Apple is looking to exploit the use of NFC capabilities as an alternative to physical money and if it can succeed at that we will have iPhone 5 that can ever open house keys as well as any other security devices such as keycards.
For now, until the Apple iPhone 5 arrives you’ve got to carry the cards, car keys and house keys.
