Rumours : iPhone 5 Will Support NFC Ring

Visa confirms it is in discussion with Apple to include NFC technology in the next version of the iPhone, but it may still be months away.

Near-field communications (NFC) technology is being introduced to mobile devices at breakneck speed this year, with Visa having chosen the recent CES show as its platform to announce Android-powered phones will support PayWave systems. While this is great news for Android users, Apple enthusiasts have been left in the dark as to when the iPhone might receive a similar update.

There is still no official release date though.
