According to a number of reports, “Apple has a patent for a touch screen RFID tag reader and is said to be testing an RFID-enabled iPhone currently”.

This would allow the RFID reader to be placed in the display panel and is enabled to read the RFID tags, which also allows the phone to be used beyond the consumer domain. If the iPhone becomes a RFID reader, this will allow the phone to interact with any object that is enabled.

Having the iPhone and using it as an RFID tag could delete some cards in your wallet. This could be used as a payment device, identity card, security device and more.

According to reports, this is already being implemented in Japan, “where the RFID Suica chip is installed in mobile phones”.

If this becomes a reality, the iPhone’s security will be enhanced. One report claims they could add fingerprints of the phone user meaning the phone will not be accessible for everyone.

Would you consider this a benefit in allowing the iPhone to withhold all your information, making it easily accessible?

Would you use it

In today’s society, construction companies and contractors are using RFID technology efficiently. When it is used correctly many companies are learning it “utilizes all your resources effectively.”

An example would be the RFID active tags. These tags can be interfaced to sense systems to add further capability to the tags data function.

Wireless networks within a place, allows real-time location of vital mobile assets. This then allows people to find equipment immediately and also improves the utilization of your assets and reducing theft.

These tags also provide measurements of “physical parameters such as, temperature, shock and GPS tracking.” These sensors can be used on buildings, dams, bridges and tunnels to warn engineers of failure.

This saves the expenses of sending out safety inspectors to monitor these places.
