Analyst Brian White with Ticonderoga Securities issued a note to investors today saying that Apple's approach to NFC in the iPhone 5 will have a unique twist., according to AppleInsider.

White said that his sources have indicated to him that the next iPhone will include NFC technology. However, Apple's approach will reportedly have "a twist that will make it unique versus his peers." White did not give any indication as to what the "twist" could be.

In November it was reported that Apple's next iPhone may feature Near Field Communication technology for remote computing. The idea was that if you wave your NFC equipped iPhone at an NFC Mac, the computer will load all your applications, settings, and data. This will let you work at the computer as if it was your own. Then when you move out of range the machine will return to its previous state.

30% of your NFC transaction will be taken by Apple, resulting in a 30% increase in the cost of goods and services for any store willing to accept iPhones for payment.

...let me guess, mapples NFC will only work with Mapple approved devices, in a same way as the BT, it will be only to be used at the Mapple stores or any place where Mapple gets any sort of revenue...
