Apple as usual is tight-lipped about whether its forthcoming smartphone, the iPhone 5, will include Near Field Communication (NFC) or not, but Forbes magazine on Friday said Apple will indeed incorporate the innovative wireless technology in the potential handset.

The NFC technology will allow owners of the iPhone 5 to pay for goods with their smartphones.

Elizabeth Woyke wrote in Forbes magazine, “An entrepreneur who is working on a top-secret NFC product told me today that he believes the iPhone 5 will have NFC and cited a friend who works at Apple as a reliable source for the information.”

The Forbes magazine report counters an earlier report published by Britain’s “The Independent”, which claimed Apple would not include NFC technology due to the lack of a clear standard in the industry.
