Does iPhone 5s Supports NFC technology?

No. However, if the speaker is BlueTooth, there should be another way to connect it. Consult the manufacturer's website.

No, it does not.

I have seen cases that will allow you to use ISIS, a mobile payment service that uses NFC. However, the phone must be in the case to work and it requires a specifc app and, to the best of my knowledge, only works with ISIS.

Apple's Senior V.P. of Product Marketing. Phil Schiller:

"It’s not clear that NFC is the solution to any current problem."

I've had two phones recently with NFC, a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Nokia. I also have an ISIS account. Do you know how many times I've used NFC? Zero. From what I can tell, it really has very few practical applications at this time.

I posted a separate thread on this after discovering that the NFC technology was NOT offered on my $600 iphone Plus....This is likely my bad but with the APP store, I ALWAYS associate it with Apple and Apple products....if it's in the APP store then surely it must work on my iphone. At least that's waht I believed up to yesterday so the up side is that I learned something new this week!! So, LG has an App for it's new washer that takes advantage of the NFC technology but I find out after delivery that the new features cannot be accessed by my iphone. Big disappointment for sure. I'm no technology expert but this seems like a missed opportunity for iphone and iphone users alike....I'll get over it but right now I'm just wondering what else my very expensive iphone won't do......

Did you bother reading the requirements for the app before you decided to resurrect a discussion that's been dead for a year and a half?

Hey there, does my iPhone 5s support NFC, I want to connect to my Jabra speaker, thanks 🙂

Thanks for that, I'll look at the manual.
