Chinese source claims iPhone 6 to support NFC and next-gen 802.11ac Wifi

Images of a pair of iPhone 6 logic board components were recently leaked to the web by French tech blog Nowhereelse.fr. The images reportedly come from a reliable Chinese source who also claims that Apple's upcoming iPhone 6 will feature support for NFC technology and next-generation 802.11ac Wifi.

In the image you can see what appears to be a pair of printed circuit boards which are alleged to be the bare pre-production logic boards for the 4.7-inch and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6. For comparison purposes the larger iPhone 6 logic boards are shown to the left and the right of a smaller board from Apple's iPhone 5s. You can see that the iPhone 6 boards have a longer arm at the top with a number of screw holes. MacRumors claims that the screw holes from one of the iPhone 6 boards line up with the arrangement of the holes on an iPhone 6 case from a past leak.

The iPhone 6 logic boards are claimed to support Near Field Communication technology and next-generation 802.11ac Wifi. Many other smartphones released in the past several years have included support for NFC technology, but Apple has yet to incorporate this feature on the iPhone. Apple has, however, included support for the next-gen 802.11ac Wifi standard on their Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, but this feature has also yet to make its way to the iPhone.
