Phone 5 - Key Features To Expect in the Next Generation iPhone

iPhone 5 - Key Features To Expect in
the Next Generation iPhone

First off, we would like to tell you that you
will pretty much find details about all the
iPhone 5 rumors and news if you visited the
blog link above. But, if you want a quick
snapshot of the latest information on the
iPhone 5, read our little snippet below. We
have tried to summarize the most important
features that we think will show up in the
next iPhone.
1. Larger screen size on the iPhone 5?
There has been a public outcry for a larger
screen size. Millions were actually
disappointed that the iPhone 4S did not
have a larger screen size. But, will Apple at
least give us a 4 Inch screen size in the next
iPhone. We think yes. But, we also think that
there is a 40% chance that even the iPhone 5
will have a 3.5 inch screen size. Why???
Well, there are a few reasons behind that
theory. For one, Steve Jobs was a fierce
advocate of the 3.5 inch screen size as it
was the best screen size to optimize battery
life. There were also other issues such as
retina display compatibility, iOS
fragmentation etc. You can read about the
possibilities related to the iPhone 5 screen
size, by checking out this iPhone 5 screen
blog post.
2. LTE Support on the iPhone 5?
Some people might automatically assume
that the iPhone 5 will have 4G LTE support.
But again, there is a question mark here.
There is about a 30%-50 % chance that the
next generation iPhone will not have LTE
support. This again has to do with Apple
policies about rolling out technology that is
already standardized. Since LTE networks
might be fully functional (at least in the U.S.
and other western countries) only by the end
of 2013, there is a chance that the iPhone 5
will only have HSPA+ network support that
has much better domestic and international
coverage. There is also a possibility that
Apple might introduce a LTE iPhone 5 and
iPhone 5 that only work on HSPA+ networks.

iPhone LTE is a possibility, at the link just
given to you.
3. NFC Support in the iPhone 5
This is a more likely possibility as Android
have already released NFC enabled
products in the form of Android Beam
enabled devices. There were several rumors
that Apple made several hurried
acquisitions in the NFC field, suggesting that
work is on at full steam to equip the iPhone
5 with NFC support. NFC support will allow
iPhone 5 users to share information with
other iPhone 5's, with just a touch. NFC will
also allow the iPhone 5 to interact with other
NFC enabled Apple devices like future
Mac's, iPad's and iPod's. iPhone NFC
technology will also allow the iPhone 5 to be
used like an e-wallet, where consumers just
wave their phones to pay for gas, groceries
and other such items. Think of your cell
phone becoming like a credit card. Read
more about iPhone 5 NFC technology here.
4. iPhone 5 release date
Apple has always been mum about the
release date of their products, announcing a
product release with just 24 - 48 hours of
notice. So, people are just speculating about
the iPhone 5 release date. Could it be in the
Summer of 2012 or the Fall of 2012? It could
depend on a lot of things. It could depend
on the pace at which the LTE network is
rolled out and it could even depend on the
sales of the iPhone 4S.
Since the 2 year iPhone 4 contracts will run
out around June of 2012, we are guessing
that the big release of the iPhone 5 will be
timed to coincide with that date, allowing
iPhone 4 users to upgrade to the iPhone 5 in
a timely and convenient fashion. But, we
could be wrong. Read more about the
iPhone 5 release date at the link just given
to you.
5. 3D Camera in the iPhone 5?
This is another rumor that became quite
popular after a Chinese blogger revealed
photographs of an iPhone 5 case that
showed a hardware setting that would
accommodate a dual camera lens setting. A
dual camera lens setting can only mean one
thing and we are talking about a 3d camera
on the iPhone here. Honestly, we could care
less about a 3D camera in the iPhone as 3D
capabilities will bore people out quite
quickly. 3D images and video also have a
tendency to cause mild to severe headaches,
after prolonged use. We think that this
rumor is a rather weak one. But, we could
be wrong again. Read more about the
iPhone 5 camera rumors.
6. iPhone 5 to be slimmer, without a
home button, made in different colors,
to feature its own i Maps and more!
The rumor mill on the iPhone 5 has been
pretty busy. We tried to put together the 20
most plausible rumors in a single blog post.
Read through the list of 20 most probable
iPhone 5 features here.
