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.

You'd have to have been living in a cave earlier this year to miss the whole Flappy Bird saga.
