I've talked about this before but i've only talked about it briefly in the iOS 6 blog.
In iOS 6 we're getting an application imbedded into the world's most advanced mobile operating system and it's called passbook. Let's just say you are a starbucks account or partnership and you've recieved an offer to get a 50% off your next hot chocolate well if you're an iPhone user, you have to go into the app and pull up the starbucks application and then find the bar code or offer number so they can verify it. You hold the screen with the bar code on and it will scan like any other barcode. And you've got to do the same for other shops so apple have conviently created an app where it gets all your barcodes and offer codes gets pulled down from all the different servers so you don't have to find a specific app.
Well the reason i'm talking about passbook and the next generation of the iPhone will be coming out and it might get enabled with NFC (near field communications) This has been used in many phones and it could actually replace our wallets, there will be a small pin inside configured to your bank account and you can spend the funds without needs to carry round a wallet but the only downside, if anyone steals the phone, they can access everything without the need of a pin. This will be really good for the voucher sense and I think apple have really struck something with passbook but what can give it a step further is enabling NFC.
