Q: Will apple unlock its NFC technology for iPhone6 and iPhone6 Plus?

I'm an iPhone 6 owner, and I'm building an application that requires Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for a Peer-to-Peer mode.

NFC is a short-range, wireless connectivity technology designed to be intuitive. For info on NFC check http://www.nxp.com/documents/brochure/75017587.pdf

 

Near Field Communication (NFC) is found only on two of apples devices, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and it enables simplified transactions, data exchange, pairing, wireless connections, and convenience between two objects when in close proximity to one another (up to 10 cm apart). However this technology is locked on both devices, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and therefore my application is useless for these devices and a huge drawback for apple and for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus owners.

 

Does anyone know if apple plans to unlock its NFC technology on these devices? If yes, when? and if not, why?

 

Thanks

Nicholas
