A lot has been rumored recently about whether the next iPhone will have the NFC feature, which means Near Field Communication Or near-range communication, a technology that is very similar to its wireless technology counterparts such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but it is the shortest in terms of coverage, fastest and security.

The NFC is an electronic unit connected to the mobile phone system that stores limited information on it, such as account numbers and user information, and allows information to be exchanged between devices through short-range waves that do not exceed a maximum of four centimeters, in order to prevent accidental contact with other devices such as cash payment machines, as a security precaution. . This technology is used in many tasks, including:
- Cash payment (as an alternative to bank credit cards).
- E-card pass to open the gates to unauthorized.
- As a tool to run interactive ads.
- As a tool to log on to some of the services on the Internet.
- As an electronic ticket on public transport, and its advantages are the possibility of calculating according to the distance that you have traveled.
- For reservations e-tickets for airlines and trains.

This technology has been used for several years in Japan and it has proven its worth. You can even say that there is no citizen there who does not depend entirely on it for the various tasks of his life.
And now it is rumored that Apple will support this technology in its upcoming devices, but we have doubts whether it is Will be available on iPhone 5 Or in what follows from later devices. Many leaks have spread by close to Apple that there are projects to adopt this technology by the company, but the question here is whether this feature is available on the iPhone, will we be able to benefit from it? Will it be subsidized in our Arab countries and used in stores and public transportation?
