    Hi Sam, I had noticed that the iPhone 5 wasn't using NFC. I didn't research it further though, as I honestly don't care for Apple products (way overpriced imho). There are numerous reasons Apple may not want to use NFC, which could be anything from them having a competing technology and not wanting it to prosper to them simply not seeing the value the technology in its current implementation (it is still in its infancy in some respects). I found a site which was able to list numerous reasons NFC is lagging behind: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57441842-94/is-nfc-killing-google-wallet/ ~Mike
