The microSIM standard has, as a design feature, the ability to support NFC coupling. The next iPhone will has microSIM support. That doesn’t mean NFC will be there though.

If no NFC Then expect to see iOS 6 use Bluetooth LE for Passport. If that proves successful then it could sound the death of mass adoption NFC.

Fear the market is waiting for Apple’s lead…

I’ve long held that while others have been first with putting NFC into their devices and doing NFC payments through the phones, it won’t be until Apple says you can do it with the iPhone that merchants will go out of their way to get on board with allowing NFC payments.

Apple’s user share (not to mention mindshare) is so large that when they start doing something everyone takes notice. Even if someone else already did it before them.
