Apple’s iPhone 5: Your New Keys?

Electronic digital keys are a very interesting solution to a lot of problems about having bulky key chains and a too many key to sort around with when one is trying to open a door while carrying some hefty luggage. It is a lot easier to use too, simply pressing the touch screen with a few commands will be enough to open the door.

However, the convenience is not the only factor that one has to consider –electronically locking doors and relying on wireless technology to open the lock also has its own set of security drawbacks.

Anyway, it seems that there are plenty of rumors pointing to the use of NFC technology on the upcoming iPhone 5. With the iPhone 4 just having recently, been launched, it seems odd that the next device in the series would be brought up so early. But with the issues with the Apple antenna brings up the possibility that Apple is planning to move on to the next model as soon as possible.

So what is the deal with NFC?

NFC, or near field communication, is an old technology that has yet to be fully utilized by mobile phones. There are pros and cons to the issue, but the biggest con lies in the fact that the phone is a security hazard. Having the device getting lost is already a big problem. Unlike credit cards and keys that are often kept in the bag, pockets, purse or what not, most people walk around using their mobile phones.

It is likely that during the course of a dinner outside, a person would pull out a mobile phone and use it rather to fish out the car keys and play around with it mindlessly. In any case, it will be interesting to see how Apple is able to twist the technology around to get more people to support it.
