Does iPhone 4 have unused NFC chip?

NFC (Near-field-communication) World reported that the iPhone 4 may already have an unused NFC chip inside, which isn't yet activated pending a future software upgrade.
Anyone heard anything about it?.

True, they do.
NFC sounds cool, but it won't work unless you have NFC-enabled sensors which is currently not adopted in the mainstream world (except in parts of Asia), and in some tech (including in North America). Reports mention, that by 2014, NFC could be adopted more world-wide. We will have to wait and see. Another question is the safety associated with such a tech, with regards to all your info being stored on one single device.
Anyways, Android has come out with an NFC-chip on their new Nexus phone, but I don't think its a necessity that the iPhone have it (even if the iPhone 4 does or does not). It's not something that we "need", and even if it's there, chances are the majority won't be using it until it is adopted in the mainstream. Just like Facetime, only those who have an iPhone 4 can use the feature, and so forth, and so on.

  • Does iPhone 6's AC wifi chip support 4x4 quad stream?

    I'm thinking of upgrading my home network from N to the new AC standard. For my needs, I have it narrowed down to Asus, either the famous RT-AC68U or the latest RT-AC87U. The latest model is the first to support 4x4 quad-stream wireless technology. The advantages this brings would only be realized with clients that also support this technology. The only advanced device I plan to buy for the next few years would be the iPhone 6 and if this phone's AC wifi chip won't utilize the 4x4 quad stream, then it would make sense to save $100 and go with the previous Asus RT-AC68U.
    Can't seem to find the specs on the phone to confirm. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    1. turn off the phone
    2. take SIM card out
    3. turn on the phone
    4. go into settings> General>network and make sure 3g and cellular data are on
    5. insert SIM card into the phone
    6. let the phone register to the network
    7. wait 3 to 4 minutes and then turn 3g and cellular data off
    8. after you do this, the phone should clear.  you can turn your 3g data and cellular back on now.
    if this does not work, it may be an app you recently istalled.

  • Does iPhone voicemail have this standard feature??

    Remember when (with previous standard cell phones) while you were listening to voicemails, you had the option to reply to the voicemail without actually calling the person back?
    Like, the feature would bypass the actual calling on the person and go straight to their voicemail inbox.
    So if you didn't want to speak to them but you had to tell that person a quick message, you could do it.
    In fact, I have a business and to save me time people sometimes do that to me.
    The phone doesn't ring it will just alert me when I have a new VM.
    Can I do this on my iPhone in any way???
    Thanks!

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iPhone itself does not have this. This is typically part of the voicemail service features provided by your cellular provider. More info on AT&T Wireless voicemail below.

    You may also wish to contact at&t wireless and inquire if they support such a feature through their standard voicemail access which is accessed holding down 1 on keypad on iPhone. You can also submit feedback below.

  • Does iPhone 4S have Corning Gorilla Glass?

    Hi, I just want to know if iPhone 4S has Corning Gorilla Glass with Oleophobic coating?
    I am sure about the oleophobic coating that it has but if it does have the corning gorilla glass as some website mention.
    I am using 4S and I like to know if my phone needs a case or it can handle slight bumps and falls?
    Thank You.

    As Stedman mentioned it's not been publicly stated by Apple but it does confirm the oleophobic coating on front and back. However just doing a search on Google brings up a couple of sites that states it does have Corning Gorilla Glass.  I personally work on the basis that if Apple haven't stated as such on their website then err on the side of caution and use a case.
    Please visit the most popular website thats says about iPhone 4S:http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_4s-4212.php
    I have visited this site, but like I said Apple have not confirmed it so err on the side of caution.

  • Does iPhone 6 have greater antenna gain than iPhone 5s?

    We live where the cellular signal is weak. Does the iPhone 6's antenna have more gain than the iPhone 5S has?

    Yes.
    See http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/
    It's in the "External Buttons and Connectors" section just a little above the halfway point on the page.

  • Does iPhone 4 have scratch Proof screen?

    I want to know if the iPhone has a scratch proof screen, As I dont want a screen Protector on mine. Will the screen get scratched? I've been using my iPod touch 4g for a year, and it never gets scratched!

    If our iTouch didn't get scratched then you are lucky and have good habits for it's care, it's likely your iPhone will never get scratched.
    The iPhone has aluminosilicate glass while the iTouch doesn't seem to AFAIK.  My iPad which is presumably the same glass as the iPhone is visibly scratch free.
    We bought my Daughter an iTouch 4th gen for Xmas and within a week it had a quarter inch scratch on the screen and she had a hard shell back cover on it but no screen protector...

  • Does iPhone 5s have an international warranty?

    I have recently purchased an iPhone 5s and I plan to travel to India for a few months. Can I get my iPhone repaired under warranty if somthing happens to it there?

    No. The iPhone warranty is only honored in the country of purchase, except for phones purchased in the EU, which may be serviced in any other EU country. Some Apple stores will honor out of country warranties, but this is purely voluntary on the part of the store manager and is not required under the terms of the warranty. India in particular has a very poor record in providing service for phones purchased in other countries; there are a lot of complaints about this in the Apple Support Community forums.

  • HT3939 Does iPhone 5s hav unlocked CDMA phone with no sim tray for india???

    I want to buy an iPhone 5s without sim tray CDMA phone on reliance network. Is it available??? Where can i get it?

    No such thing as an unlocked CDMA phone. All iPhone 5S contain a SIM, for LTE support. CDMA phones have to be locked to their carrier because of the way they are activated on the CDMA side.

  • How come the Ipad mini has Siri and the ipad 2 does not, they have the same chip

    I was comparing the ipad modles and the ipad mini and ipad 2 are the same just smaller but the ipad 2 does not have Siri...

    The iPad 2, from reports I consider reliable, lacks the special noise-cancelling circuitry necessary for Siri and included in the newer iPad models.
