If you look through the iPhone section of Apple's website, you'll see there is no mention of NFC AT ALL, not even on the Pay page. It's consistent with Apple highlighting features rather than technological components that make the features (and as a closed hardware component, in this case). I think the only place you'll see the words "NFC" at on the Tech Specs page, and even then, it's just three letters nested in a list somewhere.
