Apple iPhone4s has Bluetooth 4.0 Technology 50M range but no NFC support

5 October, 2011 Apple

Bluetooth 4.0

 

Yesterday event anounced the new iPhone4s but Disappointedly, it does not sypport NFC. The iPhone 4S does have Bluetooth 4.0 however, But it does open up the door for improvement in some categories of wireless gadgets popular with the iPhone crowd.


So, something like the Nike+ can really benefit from BT4.0 there is barely any data to transfer but improving battery life is a huge plus. BT4.0 is also intended to work as electronic leash, wireless lock, various heart-rate sensors and such. Things like wireless keyboards will probably get in on the action too.


But NFC tries to do something completely different its like a swipe card, only wireless. The higher range works against Bluetooth here (BT 4.0 has a 50M range).
