And I'm not kidding, either.
Look, Android 4.3 and later and Windows Phone 7 and later support NFC, and many Android and Windows Phone-based cellphones built since 2011 have NFC built in.
The lone--but significant--holdout is Apple. Apple thinks it has a better solution using Bluetooth 4.0 (LE), but there are two problems: 1) nobody has built a point-of-sale terminal that uses Bluetooth 4.0 for mobile payment systems, and 2) the range of Bluetooth 4.0 makes it a potential security risk compared to the circa 30 to 40 mm range of NFC.
I believe at the prodding of NTT DoCoMo and South Korean cellphone carriers, there is a chance we may see the iPhone 6 models finally offer NFC, since NFC point-of-sale terminals are common in Japan and South Korea. If Apple were to include NFC for the first time on the iPhone 6, it would clean up the Japanese and South Korean markets literally in a blink of an eye.
