We know that an iPhone with NFC is an old rumor, but it seems that it has managed to be revived again with a new report by Digitimes. The report is claiming that according to smartphone manufacturers, Apple has plans to add support to iOS come 2012 and possibly in conjunction with the next iPhone. NFC for phones has yet to take off in a big way save for countries like Japan where NFC is being used on a daily basis.
Ubergizmo, Apple to update iOS to support NFC in 2012?
