Wallet Coming to iPhone 5, as Predicted
January 25th, 2011
It seems pretty well established that the next iPhone will include an NFC-enabled wallet capability (eg, see today’s Bloomberg article). In an unabashed moment of tooting my own horn, let me just say I called this before the iPhone 4 was even released, in “Mobile Payments for Next New iPhone?”
There have been a number of other NFC announcements, and lots of conjecture on the potential uptake of these services. When it comes to assessing the key components of potential widespread adoption, I stand by the analysis in the above post.
