According to a recent Bloomberg report, Apple will build NFC (Near Field Communication) chips into the next generation iPhone and iPad. NFC is a short range wireless technology that enables devices to communicate with each other to perform simple transactions. This technology has been in use in countries like Japan and South Korea – but is yet to take off in the West. Just last month, Japanese mobile carrier Softbank introduced limited NFC functionality using an add-on accessory that sticks to the back of the iPhone for mobile payment. Bloomberg is quoting Richard Doherty, director of consulting firm Envisioneering Group who has said that Apple would be embedding NFC chips in iPhone 5 and the iPad 2. Doherty in turn is citing engineers who are involved in this project for Apple. It remains to be seen how Apple implements this functionality in iOS. The current speculation is that this could potentially evolve into a payment system that would be tied to iTunes.“Apple’s service may be able to tap into user information already on file, including credit-card numbers, iTunes gift-card balance and bank data”, says Richard Crone, financial industry adviser Crone Consulting LLC. Crone also adds that Apple would is looking at tapping in to the large online payments market in the US.According to Doherty, Apple has already created a prototype of a payment terminal that small businesses could use to scan the NFC-enabled iPhones and iPads for payments.Are you looking forward to turn your iPhone and iPad in to an easy payment system – whilst on the move?[Via Bloomberg]TweetShareRelated PostsSoftbank Brings NFC Technology To iPhone 4 For Mobile PaymentsStarbucks Mobile Card App Lets You Pay For Coffee With Your iPhone, iPad, iPod TouchiPhone 5 Will Be Completely Redesigned, Come With Multi-Core Processor; iPad 2 To Come With High Resolution Screen, SD Card Slot & CamerasiOS 4.3 To Bring Mobile Hotspot Feature To GSM iPhonesTurn Your iPhone Into A Credit Card With Visa’s In2Pay CasePosted by Whizkid on January 27, 2011 in New iPad, Next generation iPad, New iPhone, Next Generation iPhone, iPad 2, 2nd Generation iPad, iPhone 5, iPhone News, iPhone Rumors | Permalink|Comments (9) Comments

Reuters reports that Apple and Chinese mobile carrier China Mobile are holding talks to bring a TD-LTE version of the iPhone to China in the future.China Mobile, the country's biggest mobile carrier, was earlier in talks with Apple to bring a TD-SCDMA version of the iPhone to China. TD-SCDMA is the Chinese 3G standard that is used by China Mobile. However, the TD-SCDMA version of the iPhone never arrived. Instead, Apple launched the iPhone in China with China Unicom as the official carrier partner. China Mobile's Chairman Wang Jianzhou has revealed that Apple will fully support long-term evolution (LTE) 4G networks in the future. Reuters reports:"We hope that when they develop the next-generation models, since Apple can create CDMA, they can also consider developing TD-SCDMA. These two years we have been discussing the issue. Right now the situation is moving forward. Apple has made it clear they will support TD-LTE," he said.Even though we hear that there is crazy demand for iPhone 4 in China, Apple’s growth in China has been somewhat limited by its presence on only one of the carriers – that too, the smaller one. For Apple to expand its reach in China, it has to tap in to the vast subscriber base that China Mobile. With 584 million subscribers, China Mobile is by far, the biggest carrier not just in China, but the entire globe. China Unicom on the other hand had “just” 167.4 million subscribers.Apple's Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook had revealed that one of the reasons for launching Verizon iPhone that supported CDMA network instead of the new LTE 4G network was because first-generation LTE chipsets would force design changes, which Apple was not prepared to make.Based on Cook's comment, it remains to be seen if iPhone 5 will support 4G LTE or TD-LTE networks. Do you think lack of 4G support will be a deal-break for users planning to buy a smartphone in summer?[via Reuters]TweetShareRelated PostsChina Unicom Strikes Deal with Apple to Finally Bring the iPhone to ChinaChina Unicom to Start Selling iPhones from October; Will Cost a Lot Cheaper?China Unicom To Offer Jailbreak Service & Free Cases To iPhone 4, iPad Customers?China Unicom Reports Opening Weekend Sale of 5000 iPhone HandsetsCrazy Demand For iPhone 4 In ChinaPosted by iPhoneHacks on January 26, 2011 in Apple News, New iPhone, Next Generation iPhone, iPhone 5, iPhone News, iPhone Rumors | Permalink|Comments (7) Comments
