Michal Marek Server editors 9to5Mac.com they reportedly came into contact with two prototypes of the future iPhone labeled "N41AP (iPhone 5,1)" and "N42AP (iPhone 5,2)". After this "big reveal", the server reported, for example, that the iPhone, which is to be presented at the end of September, will have a larger display with a diagonal of 3,95" and a resolution of 640×1136 pixels. However, enough has already been written about this... Another and no less interesting innovation in the new iPhone should be the use of Near Field Communication technology, or NFC for short.
NFC is a revolutionary, although not entirely new, technology used for short-range wireless communication between electronic devices. It can be used, for example, for convenient contactless payments, as a public transport ticket or as a ticket to a cultural event. The potential of this technology is huge, and it could certainly also be used for fast and convenient data transfer between individual iOS devices. NFC can be used to transfer, for example, a business card, multimedia data, or configuration parameters.
Microsoft and Google already have their contactless payment systems, but Apple will enter the fight with a strong weapon. In connection with the newly introduced Passbook application, which will be part of iOS 6, NFC technology takes on a completely new dimension. It is very likely that NFC will be implemented directly in this application. Apple is obviously trying their best to make our lives easier, but unfortunately, progress in our parts is moving too slowly for my taste. Although the third-generation iPad supports the LTE network, it does not help the Czech user in any way. On the one hand, this tablet is not compatible with European LTE, and even if it were, Czech operators do not yet have the need to build newer types of networks. Unfortunately, it will probably be the same in our conditions in the near future with the use of NFC and the Passbook application.
Of course, no official information has been released about the iPhone 5 and its specifications, and the use of NFC technology is just one of many speculations. However, this step is indicated by a number of factors, including a patent from March 2011. It refers to the location of the NFC chip and describes a payment system called iWallet. The payment system should then work in cooperation with the iTunes account.
Apple will certainly want to defend its role as an innovator, and even if NFC is nothing new, who else should spread such a promising technology among the masses than the company from Cupertino. However, the application of this technology in iPhones has already been discussed has been speculating for almost two years.
If I'm not mistaken, the iPhone 4S does not have LTE. Only the iPad (3rd G) came with it. The iPhone 4S was the first to unify the versions for GSM and CDMA (the current generation networks used in the US), for which there was always a separate version of the device in the iPhone 4. The only innovation is the acceleration in the 3G network of the technology
HSDPA
You're messing up…;)
Thanks for the warning, fixed.
iPhone 4S and LTE? I thought this feature was first introduced in the 2rd generation iPad. And with that skepticism, I wouldn't see it so badly either, given that O19 has already been operating the LTE network since June 2012, XNUMX.
I would correct you a bit... O2 is testing LTE operation and only in one village... but I agree that this is at least the first drop ;o)
I will also correct... O2 does not test, but commercially offers LTE and not only in Jesenice, but also in Prague Chodov - even then, of course, it is only for a few hundred lucky people. And I will also add that even if O2 covered the entire Czech Republic beautifully, it would be of no use to us because Apple has an LTE chip for a different band, which will not be available in Europe.

I am sorry. Of course you are right and it is already fixed in the article.
I guess the "heel" of the iPhone generation, which according to the rumor will have NFC. I assume that the rumormongers already have templates ready and just mention the iPhone in their messages :-) (I don't run into the server here) all these bastards would exchange the BFU for a 2x battery life so that the iPhone would last at least through the weekend
those iPhones last even a week, the point is that I "expose" the iOS functions, GPS is permanently on for positioning services, 3G/Wi-fi for iCloud backup, notifications, mail... turning on these HW devices only during their use significantly extends battery life . You also don't keep the light on at home if you happen to go to the toilet at night...
well, I have no idea where you got to that week, localization, push, wifi, bluetooth, backlighting to a minimum... I don't know where else to put it...
I turn the flashlight on when I go somewhere on a whim, I turn the iPhone off and on so that it doesn't search for a signal, which I can't get in many places on the mountains, but still 2-3 third day KO
so it will probably be individual with regard to the version of the phone and the iOS used...
I had a 3gecko, then a 3gs, now I have a 4 and my wife has a 4s. None of them ever survived 2 days…
I use my smartphone, internet, email, music and I DO NOT play games. Oh, and I'm at 50% and I've probably never used bluetooth.
I don't think it's that individual.
Jasnacka in American Big brother needs even more accurate data to move and behave people
I have a 4S and I was in NYC in April and there was no 3G on the menu, but I was quite surprised by 4G, I didn't think about it... I didn't have SIM data turned on.
Hopefully, I'm impatiently waiting for this technology ;)
NFC is nice, but if it has a 16:9 display and a mini USB, I'd rather buy an Android. Old applications will look stupid on it, all the accessories I have won't fit, so if I have to buy everything again, at least it will be cheaper.
