Next Generation IPhone to take on NFC cashless technology.

    Not alone can NFC phones track you as you travel through cell site analysis, they will also track, log and time ALL your future cashless purchasing habits.

    Because of the cult popularity of the IPhone it will rapidly introduce and push foreword this relatively new form of cashless technology into the Western world. Nokia will no doubt follow up immediatly in their competing N and other series.

    I mentioned this in a previous thread some months back that it will only take a "state of the art" phone full of all the "bells & whistles" push this technology through. It will be heavily subsidised by service providers and financial institutes. Every one will want one.

    NFC has been used in the far east for a number of years but has been rather slow to take off and is currently marketed in the 6131 NFC handset. http://europe.nokia.com/A4307094

    I believe RTDH was imlplying more than the notion of 'new toys'. Do you not see the negative effects this could have on our civil liberties?

    I assume he was implying some grand scheme by them against us or something to that effect.

    A bit of a jump there, are you saying you can predic the future?

    A prediction isn't the same as a projection or estimation. Whatever of these RTDH was inferring I will leave to him.

    Whats that got to do with me asking the OP if he/she can predict the future.

    THe language of Prediction and the language of projection are different, There was no "May" or "mights" used, it was the language of prediction.

    why is this a conspiracy... a piece of technology that you choose to buy or not, has the same tracking capabiliites as a normal credit, laser card???
    there is no conspiracy here,

    Its just ONE step closer towards the track n' trace cashless society as the net closes in eventually you will have no other option. London now has already got an 80% registered Ostercard population. The public were conned into this system by cheaper travell as opposed to cash. It is only a matter of time and you will not be able to purchase these tickets over the counter.

    I can foresee these phones thrive with some "deal" promoted between Apple and TFL. The Sheeple would love to be seen touching in with their brand new next generation IPhones. Gordon Brown one of the chief orchestrater's of this forthcoming borderless electronic system would be Laughing as people voluntary queue up to purchase these state of the art tracking devices. :rolleyes:

    still no conspiracy.... as cash is still an option... you can still pay by cash...

    and considering that when asked before for any sort of evidence that cash was to be removed from society, you couldn't produce any... therefore there is no conspiracy

    anyway whats the point to a cashless society... anoniminity?? but surely that argument goes to the wayside when you consider all these government run public services have CCTV and with facial recon. software even if you pay in cash they could still track you... probably raise alarm bells when cash is handed over and the cctv camera and software then does its job...

    Not always, many services and retailers are starting to accept EFT only options, you can no longer cross the Westlink by paying cash at a toll booth. You no longer have the anomnity without your registration details being logged into a database.

    Komplett do not accept cash over the counter at their pick up depot. Online credit card bookings heavily are premoted by Iarnrod Eireann and other transport companies, it won't be long before ticket booths will dissapear.

    I had a dream about Steve Jobs last night. I can't remember what happened, it just dawned on me when I saw this thread.

    Probably the NWO infiltrating my thoughts.

    You still seem to be ignoring the fact that the next gen iPhone doesn't have any of the things you claim.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    This has been gone over agian and again and again. You CAN pay byt cash for the Westlink. And if you're that paranoid about it, you don't even have to use it.

    Cash is not going anywhere. Not for a long long time.

    It wont be the "IPhone 3" as this is already developed and will be released possibly by summer. I cannot see an major development in this phone other than improvements in what they already have.

    Again look at the video:
    "New iPhone prototype. Soon you will be able to pay with your iPhone. The apple iMoney is linked to your iTunes account"

    Very few details of the iPhone 3.0 hardware have been made public, so its impossible for your reporter friend have gotten his hands on the next version after that. Apple are notorious for keeping secrets.

    Where did you come up with iMoney? Not even an Apple product.

    iPhone 6.0 could have a smoothie maker attachment, but until I see it on an Apple website or spec sheet I call bull.

    You can pay before hand and after IN CASH. The removal of the toll booth has nothing to do with ridding the world of money, so stop making out like it is.

    Your vehicle is on record irrespective if you pay cash before or after which is my point. You can no longer pass unanimously through the Westlink without our registration plate photographed.

    It one step closer to the track n' trace society associated with RFID & Smartcards which is synonymous with the removal of cash. :)

    It's one step closer in the same way that getting an internet connection is one step closer to becoming a pedophile.

    Exactly, this is why the authorities in Brussels want to pass legislation to track and store all your personal internet traffic to make sure that you are not a pedophile. :p

    Still has nothing to do with iPhone.

    That's not the point he was making.

    Yes it has, like all forms of digital communication, EU legislation requests the retention of data. In other words when these phones are introduced all purchase records will be retained, just like any other credit /debit card transaction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,537 ✭✭✭thecommander


    So your admitting the video and claim isn't true?

    Why, when caught out, do you change your arguement? Happens alot.

    No, they won't.

    if I carry an NFC phone, it absolutely, categorically will not track me using my credit card to purchase something. It will not track me using my debit card to purchase something.

    If, what you are saying is that "the people behind cashless systems" will track my cashless purchasing habits....well they already do so. They need to. They record the place, time, and purchase value. The latter is required for account-management. The former two are required for dealing with cases of fraud.

    Move that payment system from a piece of plastic onto my phone...and gosh...nothing has changed. They still need to record where and when it was used, and for how much.

    I believe it is well true and only a matter of time. NFC has been used in Asia for the last few years with the Nokia 6212 and the more recent 6131. I am very surprised that this technology has been so slow to take off. Apple are not going to ignore something that could possibly boost their sales particularly if it becomes a trend.

    Mobile Phone manufacturers are constantly pushing for the latest gadget to boost sales. We started with just a basic handset, then SMS, colour screen, basic games, Cam Phones, MP3. MP4, java compatibility, touch screen, music, etc.

    They cannot introduce any major leap too promptly as destributers would end up stuck with current stock. We have seen the PC industry play at this game for years.

    Ah ok, just your thread title said "Next Generation IPhone to take on NFC cashless technology". I took that as a statement, rather than a roundabout way of saying it might happen. I felt misled.

    But it is cheaper - London Underground don't have to manage loads of cash. That means it's more efficient. That's one of the key reasons that the wealth of the West has exploded since the 60s - greater efficiency due to IT. It's not surprising that the public sector is gradually catching up.

    But with all this all the authorities need to do is to contact your service provider for transactions and transit movements if they suspect you are out of line. Everything is becoming more transparent.

    They have the information, but it's no use to them. They may have the data, but they can't make any use of it - what will they do with it, and where will the manpower come from? On the other hand, it would be pretty handing for solving crimes - if they have legal permission to use the data.

    I really don't think the British government cares where Joe Bloggs is going day to day. And if they really want to track you, they could and would use other means anyway.

    NFC / RFID phones will leave digital prints on every item purchased or transit turnstile that is tagged with.

    All this information must be stored under the 2006 EU data retention for two years and can be accessed as evidence or used by the authorities should they need it. If they a a tip off about someone they can flag their account and track them live on the system.

    Fine with me if they do. They aren't going to watch everybody - the resources aren't there. They can't even track the actual criminals and terrorists.

    They don't need to watch anyone at all, its just the vast amount of personal information that can be built up and held at their disposal.
