"The image [in the patent application] also points to the location of the NFC sensor in the iPhone 5 which appears like it's in the front of the device on the left side of the ear piece. The location is interesting because some may want the sensor to be somewhere else on the handset such as on its bottom or side part."

If it's in a diagram describing an invention it must be for the iPhone 5.
