Great, now I need an RFID-blocking wallet because any yeehaw can place their iPhone to my pocket to charge my credit card.

  That's been possible ever since mobile POS services have started supporting contactless payments, without any catastrophic fallout.

    It's obviously different when everyone already has an iPhone. Most crime is opportunistic.

      The difficulty in pulling this off is not in owning the reading device (you can already buy a contactless payment terminal and cheap Android phone for much less than an entry level iPhone in every electronics store), but in opening a merchant account (this usually requires verification) and not getting it flagged for very obvious fraud before you can withdraw your "revenue".
