iPhone 5 features?

Posted 19th August 2011 by Andrew McCracken

The iPhone 5 will no doubt make an appearance later this year, there are so many rumors floating around speculating what will actually appear in the latest iPhone product, this blog however is dedicated to showing everything that the Apple experts say.

Release date

The iPhone 5 or 4S as some say it will be called has caused a huge stir in the industry and much speculation has taken place especially when it comes to the release date. The specialists however are convinced that it will be released in September.

Lets see what Tech Radar would like to see feature in the iPhone 5

iPhone 5 iCloud based

Apple say they are cutting the cable with iOS 5, meaning OS updates can be delivered over the air, everything will be given automatically to the user rather than the annoying 650MB downloads that used to cause frustration. This also possibly means the iPhone 5 could use iTunes (on a desktop) without needing to be connected with a lead, Software updates are now over the air also mean that the OS doesn’t need to be downloaded, but rather only the parts that have been changed will be downloaded as needed. The experts say this will feature in iPhone 5.

It could be curved

The experts say that the iPhone 5 could well be curved saying: the fifth-generation iPhone would be a different form factor than those that are currently available. Engadget state ‘extremely accurate sources’ in saying that not only will the new device land in the summer (in line with every iPhone launch for the past few years) but Apple will be looking to keep the iPhone 5 at the sharp end of mobile technology. To that end, we can expect to see Apple’s new A5 CPU, an ARM Cortex A9 chipset, which will be multi-core, enabling much better battery life and even more power available.

Another sound rumor is that Apple are thinking of moving away from using Infineon chipsets for the GSM radio (the part of the phone that connects to your mobile network) and shifting to Qualcomm – making it much easier to use due to the connectivity problems which plagued the last iPhone launch. This is great however it will most likely result as before with many people getting a 2 year deal and be highly regretting it by June.

Larger Screen

It has been leaked from component suppliers that claim the iPhone will feature a larger 4inch display. Rumors say Apple have purchased between 200 and 300 special glass cutting machines because they are too costly for the manufacturers to invest in. The iPhone will get a tremendous boost in graphics when it moves to a duel-core CPU, which means 1080p could be a cert for the new device.
