To be fair, NFC has seen little adoption because Apple didn't put it in a few years back...
New POS terminals are gonna have it since most chip & pin terminals will come standard with it, though I feel adoption would of been higher had Apple taken the lead on it.
Many countries NFC is how people pay for almost everything, I am sure iPhone owners there have been wishing they have had it the last few years.
I think that is part of it. I also think many may be afraid Apple will do something other than NFC so they are reluctant to jump on that bandwagon. The number of Android phones supporting NFC is likely smaller than the number of iPhone 6s that will be sold in the next 6 months.
As others have pointed out, the shadow cast by the leaf is reminiscent of the shadows cast by sundials, potentially hinting at the rumored iWatch.
The 'Wish We Could Say More' tagline might be better parsed by focusing on the words 'Say' and 'More'. Perhaps there will be more of the devices on which we say a lot. So, to beat a dead nail over the head with a horse, it could hint at larger iPhones.

iPhone 5S was announced in Apple's campus in Cupertino.
Flint Center is a theatrical space, so I guess the event will be more spectacular this time
Voice integration.
Apple ad: "The first watch that can actually TELL time. And other stuff."
Even in other countries most of the NFC payments are coming from chipped cards and not other devices. I agree with your assessment that Apple has been a significant factor in NFC not gaining traction. It seems like a good idea to me. I hope it is in the iPhone 6 and it takes off.
The first thing I thought of was the voice messaging feature. I expect that to be a big part of the device, because typing out messages is probably not practical.
They have for most recent events. I imagine they will again. The Apple TV app usuually shows up and updates the day of the event.
Let's see... Flint Center > The Flintstones > prehistoric > sundial > prehistoric clock = iWatch!
