Swordmaker do you think that iPhone 5s will support Apple Pay in the future? I really like the size and weight of the iPhone 5s and hope I don’t have to upgrade to 6 any time soon.

I think Apple pay requires NFC, a hardware feature, not present in pre iPhone 6 models.

I think the 5s when paired with an apple watch will support Apple Pay. I may just wait and try that.

I've been considering that question since last night. . . and I've come to the conclusion that it cannot for two reasons.
- No encrypted Secure Element storage chip.
- No NFC radio.
Without these, the system cannot work.
