Would NFC really be special at this point? Most (at least high end) Android phones have had it for years at this point.

- Cthulhu_ 14y agoAnd yet, as far as I know, it never really broke through; I think that if Apple had come with NFC for the iPhone 5, it would've. A lot of app builders and companies aren't doing anything with NFC yet because the iPhone doesn't have it, disregarding the 70% market share Android has nowadays (although only a small percentage of those have NFC).
- spinchange 14y agoNot by itself necessarily, but Apple's adoption would be noteworthy and I'm certain would increase/uptick adoption. My broader point is that I can easily foresee a time in the near future when Apple devices are cynically noted for what they don't have/do that other devices do - beautiful interfaces, fit-and-finish notwithstanding.
