Bloomberg has an interesting report tonight, but they have the headline all wrong. Apple Plans Service That Lets IPhone Users Pay With Handsets — is technically correct (assuming the report is true, of course), but it completely downplays the potential ramifications of what Apple is apparently attempting to do.

If Apple can nail Near-Field Communication (NFC) and tie it directly into their already-established iTunes payment system. It could change everything. It could transform Apple from the biggest technology company in the world, to the biggest company in the world, period. Granted, that’s a very big “if” in the above statement. First of all, Bloomberg’s Olga Kharif reports that Apple will build NFC chips into the next iteration of the iPhone.

What is somewhat surprising is first of all that the report only mentions the new iPhone “for AT&T” and not Verizon. It’s hard to know what to make about the former. The iPad 2 talk is conceivably more straightforward. Enter Apple.
