We hear all kinds of rumors about the new iPhone, but this one with NFC is the first to "turn" 180 degrees in just one day. Yesterday it was said that the iPhone 5 will not have NFC technology implemented because Apple does not consider it the time to use this payment system. Today those from BGR they received information indicating that Apple could actually implement the technology in its own stores as early as May 19. Everything would take place under the "umbrella" of a decade since the launch of the first Apple store, when the company takes a step towards the future using NFC technology for payments.
First off, Apple's POS devices – its iPod touch-based wireless payment terminals – recently all went offline for "maintenance" for an entire day, leaving customers unable to purchase some items or return merchandise. Additionally, we have been told that there were recently multiple "overnights" in Apple retail locations, which required store employees to "assist in installing TBD devices" throughout the stores "as the retail segment of Apple grows." Finally, sources tell us that there have been new tables installed in stores that have different wiring compared to Apple's standard tables.
It seems that some new equipment has already been installed in Apple stores and the EasyPay payment service used by Apple for mobile payments was closed for a whole day a few days ago. What Apple will do in just a few days is unclear, but all the attention is focused on the event, as Apple likes it.
