With Apple expected to announce the iPhone 6 within a matter of weeks it's obvious that the final hardware is locked in and that the phone is currently in the same configuration as the handsets we'll be picking up at stores towards the end of September. We've seen plenty of leaks surrounding both the front and rear panels of the iPhone 6, as well as various different parts of its innards, so there's little to truly come as a surprise this time around.

If you've even had a passing interest in the build up to any iPhone release over the last few years, then you'll already be well aware that the will they, won't they discussion about Apple bringing NFC to the platform is old news. In fact, at this point, it's safe to say that many people have just decided that NFC will come when it comes and that debating its inclusion is just pointless.
