Hi,

Thanks for the update. It might be me, but you don't have a $40 pledge, it goes from $30 to $47. Are you saying pledge $30 for one and increase to $40 to get the free one? I am sorry but I am confused.

Maybe it's just me, but I dislike losing the extra functions between the two offerings. Can you offer the tool with the NFC logo thingy as an add-on to the key ring?

All this NFC stuff is Greek to me. I'm never sure if it is any use to me as an iPhone user. :?

Tasha, what iPhone do you have? The new 6 and 6+ can use nfc. Currently i beleive for Apple pay only. Nfc works like qr codes without having to scan anything as it is near field communication. Also, nfc can do more than link to a website. Do you remember app called bump or those sprint commercials that gave you a song when you touched your phone to the addvertisement?

I'm on an old 4S. Apple for now is keeping NFS locked for Apple Pay only on the 6 and 6S.

I haven't watched commercials in over 10 years. You've heard of DVRs right? Why watch live when you can record and skip commercials? This might be the main reason I fell for my husband 16+ years ago. LOL

Got it. So currently NFC not useful to me. Hmm I think I'm backing at least one NFC project. ;)

Tasha,

I unplugged from cable a few years ago, so no dvr for me. This commercial was old......a long time ago.

I don't think any iPhone older than 6 has nfc built in.

I backed for the non-NFC version. :mrgreen:

Nope the older iPhones don't have NFC and Apple is resisting unlocking NFC on the 6/6S. Gosh I remember when Apple was a leader not a follower/behind the curve. Another reason not to rush to upgrade. Why give Apple my money when there are so many great Kickstarters. :lol:

Hi all...

I see I have opened an interesting discussion here :)

@Tasha
First, thanks for backing! :)
Secondly, as you said - NFC is curently build-in on iPhone 6, but restricted only for Apple pay (might be soon, that Apple open NFC for all functions in next models - http://www.cnet.com/pictures/iphone-7-m ... eatures/8/)

@IsraelNahsohn
We do not have option for 40$, but you can pledge 40$ (and choose one of early birds) and get below:
1tool + 1logo = 40$
2 tools = 40$

@mdtommyd - Tom
Unfortunately I can not offer an NFC logo thingy as an add-on (NFC and logo can be only build in on carabiner and not to be added to a key ring separately), but for 40$ you can get 2 carabiners (1tool + 1logo-NFC)
