PCWorld

On Monday reports said that Apple changed its mind about incorporating Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in the iPhone due to lack of a universal standard, but now sources told Forbes otherwise. 

But iPhone 5 NFC rumors are in full swing again, this time courtesy of Forbes. According to the magazine, an entrepreneur who is working on a "top-secret NFC product" said he believes the iPhone 5 will have NFC and cited a friend who works at Apple as a reliable source for the information. The entrepreneur also said that manufacturers of NFC readers expect the iPhone 5 to have NFC, so they are gearing up for the additional NFC traffic the iPhone 5 will bring. However, we won't know whether the iPhone 5 will have NFC until Apple actually introduces the new device.
