NFC: Apple deliberately drags feet

Apple has set foot in an area where it is long overdue: the contact less payment. The presentation of this application may suggest that Apple will go further with the successor of 4S who could manage the NFC. At least that's what you might think on the surface. In mid-June, Phil Schiller had somehow given dot the i. 

Apple does not try at least for the moment to make a payment directly. Schiller also noted that the different mobile payment services were fighting like cats and dogs for their share of the pie. And to say that Apple was not involved in this fight.
