According to the market experts, Apple is going to revolutionize mobile commerce by including NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology in upcoming iPhone 5. This technology incorporates information of financial accounts and ties that data to specific devices. That means iPhone 5 will allow you to use it for making payments as a virtual credit card.
NFC technology considered as more secure technology than RFID and other touchless technologies because it works at a range of four to five inches via point of sale scanners. It is also in discussion that apple could put this system in all version of its iPhones in future. Normally owners of iPhones are typically heavy users of data and upscale demographics of these users make them desired target for businesses.
It's a revolutionary step of Apple that will customize the shopping practices of iPhone users and will allow them the opportunity to utilize their iPhone in more effective way. It's also a great opportunities for companies who can increase their profits. Retailers who still do not have NFS scanners would need to switch to new terminals so that they could also get the advantage of this technology.
Though iPhone users have already been using various types of applications for ecommerce and payments, but after the inclusion of NFC in iPhone 5, the mobile commerce will become more easy and effective for the users. But it will not decrease the importance of iPhone applications because these applications have turned the world in to the pocket size Hub.
So the iPhone users and shopping lovers should be ready to experience another revolutionary move of Apple.
