The Apple Store App already offers a great experience and allows you to pay for accessories without a member of staff.
Now Apple is looking at integration of iBeacons within Apple’s stores which will be used in cohesion with a future update to the Apple Store app, which can give detailed information on a product when a user walks near an item.
Apple is also testing its iBeacon system to better provide services in its stores, such as notifying consumers about upcoming workshops.
This technology has loads of potential and could replace NFC.
