What is This ? Is this NFC coil ?

[VulchR]

Uh...NFC has stood for No Fat Chicks since the mid 1970s with bumper stickers on cars and motorcycles.

We've think we've come so far and then one hears this....

I presume NFB means 'no fat bastards'....

Il throw this into the conversation. Apple patent shows a spiral conductor layout.

Pretty sure all NFC antennas are spiral conductors (coils).

 

[ChrisWard1994]

Unless its a cutout location for one. I personally dont think nfc will be present but there is some reason for the grooves. I cant think why theyd waste resources on it for no reason

 

[OMGbrandon]

That's where the coil will go!

Apple's patent is for an NFC antennae inside a metal case. No RF Window needed.

The guys at AnandTech apparently didn't know this when they published their comments.

A full metal backed iPhone could easily have NFC using Apple's patented design.

Nope. All that most use is a simple loop design.

Ah, well I'm no expert on the subject. I honestly hope it has it, but I tend to listen when Jim Dalrymple speaks up.
