O papinho agora é que a Apple estaria negociando com a China UnionPay para suportar o sistema de pagamento NFC deles.
Fato, NFC pegou na Ásia. Mas só lá, pelo menos como sistema de pagamento.
E sabemos que a Apple é para americanos.
Hora dos rumores descabidos…
Apple is likely to incorporate a Near Field Communication (NFC) payment function in the next generation iPhone and has reached an agreement with China UnionPay on a mobile payment service, according to a source close to the matter.
…In addition to NFC payment, the two companies will also work together on another mobile payment solution that can be used for purchases in Apple Stores, added the source. (traduzir)
