There's just no other purpose than that.
Why will Apple have those big lines for if it doesn't have a use for it?

The thick lines behind the iPhone 6 are for wireless charging ?

Who's going to see them anyway. Most of the lamestream slap some tacky plastic case on it.

Lame tacky plastic case over the lame tacky plastic "antenna breaks"?
I'm still trying to figure out who the "lamesteam" are.

Perhams lamest(r)eam? As in mainstream?
The upcoming iPhone boycott due to "linegate" will surely cause Apple to do an emergency redesign! You heard it here first!
Be nice if they served some other purpose. I could overlook their appearance if that was the case.
Keep in mind its very difficult to get dissimilar materials to color match perfectly especially with age and wear. A lot of the time its better to design it to look different because in the end intentionally doing that is better then it accidentally happening over time. Sometimes it just looks bad from the start if you try to match it.
Like on a car that a body panel was damaged. If the car is older the body shop will need to blend the paint so it looks seamless and then make it look slightly older so it matches. Even then its very noticeable to the trained eye.

The camera lens is most likely sapphire like on the 5/5S so I wouldn't be too concerned about that either.
Haha...I guess? Not really funny, if that's what you were going for.
But no, if you took an extra .5 seconds to look at my location, or just glance at it, you'd know that I am in Florida.
Never seen NFC..never.
Hmm, now that I think about it, I think I have seen some keypads that have it on top of them, like at McDonald's, but have never seen someone use it.
Old fashion 'swipe card' feature.
The thing is, the current NFC environment is insecure and lacks standards. Apple will change that with Touch ID and IOS 8.
I fully expect NFC with the new iPhone to be the start of a mobile payment revolution that will end with physical credit and debit cards becoming obsolete.

Why is it really widespread in most places? Have barely seen it in Silicon Valley, and you'd think that would be a place where things of that nature would be even more common.
