Carrying a credit card in your wallet can soon be a history. Apple is coming up with a technology that will enable the use of iPhone as credit card.

Mophie, a popular retailer of Apple iPhone and iPod accessories, is set to debut their iPhone credit card reader — said to be named "Credit Card (credit card) reader" — and complimentary processing application, reports Mashable.com.

This will allow merchants to accept credit card payments by swiping the card through a special iPhone case. While details around the device add-on are slim, interest is already high.
