Is NFC in Apple’s upcoming iOS devices a forgone conclusion? If PhoneScoop’s German T-Mobile PowerPoint viewers are any indication, the next iPhone will indeed be rocking Near Field Communications payment subsystems:

Engadget confirmed with PhoneScoop that the slide in the handout did have a NFC iPhone. What? No pictures? Surely one will be forthcoming. Readers: that’s what the comments are for!
