So, they crippled the NFC. They couldn't just implement it like everyone else (Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, etc). They locked it down so it could ONLY be used for NFC payments, specifically for Apple Pay?
iPhone 6 NFC can only be used for Apple Pay, at least for now | News | TechRadar
I'm sure a lot of the Apple faithful aren't accustomed to using NFC, but I use all platforms and I use it all the time. I have Bluetooth Speakers with NFC, headphones, and other devices. It's really handy for pairing or transferring and if you have NFC stickers, it gets really interesting.
I have had every iPhone since the first and it just seems like Apple has some kind of aversion to implementing technology the way everyone else does. The first iPhone was 2G when there were 3G phones everywhere, one of the more recent iPhones didn't let you surf the web over LTE while you were on a call (restricted to 3G) despite the fact that everyone else was using superior technology. The list goes on.
They waited THIS long to give us some version of NFC and it's limited. Really?
