Extremely frustrated with carrying around a heap of plastic, cash and a bulky wallet and just loving my iPhone; I quickly mocked up what an RFID enabled iPhone Payment app would look like. Obviously, one could do a lot better and integrate a nice “Receipts” tab inside the app, but I think this is a first step in the right direction.

All I want to do is take out my iPhone, swipe the thing, enter my PIN and complete the transaction. RFID is an awesome proven technology, that allows you to do just that and would be great on a next-gen iPhone. Please Apple help me kill my wallet!

Grab the individual pics here and here. Want RFID payments on your iPhone? Retweet this post.

This looks like an really awesome concept and would love to see this type of technology implemented into the iPhone at some point.
