As there are two threads for this, I assume this one if for all the anti-apple fanboi's to bitch and moan and the one in technical is for serious questions?

Just last night my wife called me on her MOBILE because she wasn't sure she had enough petrol left in the car to get home and she had left her PURSE at home

I thought Apple would use NFC and consequently it would take off - they have a knack of taking things which already exist, 'inventing them' and seeing them gain mass acceptance where they previously couldn't.
But I agree NFC especially in your phone is a gimmick. Nobody is going to take their phone but not their credit card/wallet so it's not actually achieving anything.
I kind of feel the same about contactless charging, it's very cool but not really that useful (except the part where Starbucks can build chargers into the tables).

I like Apple products, I own quite a few of them, but come on. This is just taking the piss. It all goes into a USB socket at the other end anyway.
I love this video 36 seconds in for the comment on the adapter
