Next-generation iPhone will include NFC (near-field-communication) technology with a “wave-to-pay” system.
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology makes life easier and more convenient for consumers around the world by making it simpler to make transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices with a touch.
A standards-based connectivity technology, NFC harmonizes today's diverse contactless technologies, enabling current and future solutions in areas such as:
Access control
Consumer electronics
Healthcare
Information collection and exchange
Loyalty and coupons
Payments
Transport
Developers can learn more about NFC in the section on interoperability.
