iPhone 5 Specs and Speculations!
86iPhone 5 Specs and Speculations!
When the iPhone first came onto the market, no-one could predict how hugely popular it was going to be and how it would revolutionize a generation. In fact, not only did it change the way people used their phones, it created a whole new industry – the Smartphone – in which it is the current and undisputed champion. While Android devices have made huge strides in eating into this lead, there still is no one single device that has the same depth of penetration into the marketplace as the iPhone.
As Apple continues to release enhancements and upgrades to its iconic product, people are eagerly waiting to hear information about the newest iteration of the iPhone – the iPhone 5 (or potentially the iPhone 4S depending upon whom you listen to) which succeeds the equally popular iPhone 4G. In fact, the iPhone 4 was so popular that Apple is planning to have 15 million units of the iPhone 5 ready for release day (current rumours are pointing to a September or October date for this) in expectation and based on their numbers they are expecting to sell 25 million units by the end of 2011!
While the iPhone 4 did have some issues – most notably problems with the Antenna which impacted people trying to make and receive calls (a somewhat important feature of a mobile phone!) – it is expected that their new device will provide a much better experience in this regard along with a whole host of enhanced specifications. Provided below are a list of the expected iPhone 5 specs.
iPhone 5 Specs rumor video
Processing Power
Current rumours are pointing to the iPhone 5 utilizing Apple’s A5 dual-core processor. This super speedy and powerful processor was first utilized by Apple in the iPad 2 and it is a significant enhancement and improvement to the A4 processor. In addition to the improved processor expectations are high for an improvement in the RAM and overall storage space available.
However other rumours have stated that the reason the iPhone 5 was not released in June (on a similar schedule to that of earlier models) is due to the A5 processor overheating when combined with the new iPhone. If the processor problems are in fact confirmed and Apple is unable to find a solution in a reasonable timeframe, its next model might not be as revolutionary as expected and will only be a small and incremental improvement to the iPhone 4.
Iphone Operating System
The brains of the iPhone 5 will be its newest operating system – iOS 5. Recently released by Apple this new operating system offers some significant differences to its predecessors, most notably cutting the tether to iTunes and the PC in general. Flash unfortunately is still not an option with Apple and while some Android based Smartphone’s have emphasized the availability of Flash on their systems as a key differentiator – the lack of Flash on iPhone’s has not significantly impacted their market share.
Another key enhancement to the new OS is the fact that all software updates are now sent wirelessly and these updates only include the changes – not the whole Operating System!
iPhone Nano
Surprisingly however there are also rumours of an iPhone Nano with a 3 inch screen. The officially (unannounced) Nano will do away with the Home button making them significantly smaller in size to the current generation of iPhones on the market and these smaller units primarily built with iPhone 4 components, will also be offered at a significantly lower price than other iPhones – thereby potentially opening up the budget conscious market to Apple.
While the iPhone Nano will entice non-Smartphone users to Apple it is also expected that they will chip away at the budget Android handset marketplace also. While there are definitely valid reasons for Apple to create a smaller unit, these rumours are definitely unconfirmed at this time, and in fact sources at Apple have stated that Apple will not be releasing a smaller iPhone.
iPhone 5 Camera
Specs for the new iPhone 5 are currently pointing to the new iPhone 5 integrating an 8 megapixel camera into its case. While Nokia’s N8 (with a 12 megapixel camera) is still superior this camera and lens – probably supplied by Sony – will be a vast improvement on the 5 megapixel camera included in the iPhone 4 and with an improved LED flash, this might make enough of a difference.
Overall Look and Feel
Depending upon who does the talking the iPhone 5 could be completely different in look and feel to the iPhone 4 or it could only have some small cosmetic changes. Some of the more radical suggestions include replacing the glass back with a new metal back – which will also act as the new iPhone antenna. In addition there are details that the bezel itself will be changed and will incorporate touch-sensitive buttons around the newer larger 4 inch screen.
Apple is nothing if not innovative and its design styles and ideas have long been at the forefront of the Computer and Electronics industry. Just like the Ipad 3, The iPhone has led the world and with its huge app store, Apple has a very hefty lead on its competition. As long as Apple does not experience another “Antenna Gate” similar to the problems with its iPhone 4, it should not only be able to maintain this lead but grow it even further and if in fact they do launch an iPhone Nano at a lower price point, they will truly be unassailable!

Nice hup, thanks for the information.
By all means apple is a great company but puts too many constraints on its users! They're really behind on the faster 4g network! They all are behind really. Especially in these days of technology!
To date the Samsung Galaxy S2 running on android " Gingerbread" is still the most powerful phone thats why iphone 5 will be release hope your price will be reasonable.....
when it will be in ireland(dublin) the iphone 5?? and what will be the price for it??
Looking forward to a new Iphone 5. I am currently using an Iphone 3GS. I will not get an Iphone with a two year contract if it is not 4G ready. I would then have to look to the competition.
Nothing beats 4G!
Who cares about 4G?
Just make it easier to use and I will buy it.
Wow ! I really want to buy it nah. nyahaha
When it will be SouthEast Asia(Philippines)?>
and also what will be the price of it.thnx
who cares about 4g? I guess if you don't mind having slower outdated technology... might as well have a 5mp camera too right? dumbest comment I ever heard!
4g is a meaningless designator for all the n00bs out there. It is simply the 4th generation hence 4g of their mobile broadband network. The LTE after verizons designator is important. LTE is a much faster network than AT&T currently uses and their LTE network is growing painfully slow for those of us with no verizon coverage that is reliable.
IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE.
Open source vs Closed source...lol one phone, if you have ten of them there all the same, but ten androids well now enjoy the buffet of possibilities "over clocking, roms, kernals, modems"...not the same!!!!
hehe, I bet you still can't expand the memory on it. I bet it won't have HDMI either. They'll probably increase pixel density on it too, which is just stupid and will make the phone cost more. First iPhone was cool, each additional iPhone is dumb. Apple is dumb. They should start removing ports on their Mac line so they can be just like the iPhone/iPad/Touch. Then just get rid of OS X and use iOS and charge for every keystroke too while they're at it.
Phones can't even process 4g speeds. Its all money making hype. An iPhone will run on att(as much as I hate them) 3g faster than droid runs on 4g. Droid is garbage. Anyone who has ever had an iPhone knows that.
If phones can't process 4g speeds, why do I get consistent 500k/sec downloads (bursts of 700k/sec) on my 4g phone as opposed to the 100k/sec max I would get on my 3G phone? You must not have 4g in your area. iPhone is garbage, anyone who has Droid knows that. Enjoy your iPrison.
The IPhone5 Apple has unlimted Data plan. The Andriod Bionic does not !
Download Jailbroken Quick tools
I'm pretty sure people living in Ireland and philipinese can't afford an iPhone
if you think it's too expensive - you're way to poor (mentally) to appreciate or even own.
The price of iphone is high because lame people, specially the beginner of smart phone with primary level knowledge about smart phone buy these iBRICKS.. Have you really touched a samsung Galaxy s2. You will feel the smoothness and lightness of it..even for you, it will not take more than a few seconds to realize the speed and quickness of apps response of galaxy s2...we are even not talking about the widgets, the wifi tethering, the ease of file transfer and more importantly, the openness of android OS...for me iBRICKS or iPRISONS ( whatever) are just useless ( Because of my preferences), ok they are good but they are not the best at all.they are really really behind in the technology...Have you ever been successful by using your iBRICK bluetooth with any other device than iBRICK..??? what do u do when u want to transfer a file to your friends computer and vice versa if he hasn,t itunes???????
Right on Niaz
wow apple an 8 megapixel camera on a phone. A dual core processor on a 3G device, what an improvement. I wonder if this phone is actually going to be able to make calls with out a bumper. Iphones are so behind its ridiculous. All you die hard iphone users need to get out of the past an buy an android device. Or you could keep believing what the dousches at apple tell you.
I saw some of this on appfaction. I really just cant wait until the release date
iPhone 6(66) is coming in 2012! Going to big! Rumor has it a 20 megapixel camera!
Android is easily 100x better. HTC sensation and other new dual core handsets easily outperform Apple's iBrick. With faster and more responsive interfaces and a wider variety of utilities, Android is by far a better choice.
I like to call it the iPrison. It's a nerfed multimedia prison that people willingly pay for. iPhone is for n00bs and old people....
Scratch that, it's just for n00bs. Old people don't know how to use cell phones
Speaking of smoothness and multimedia: I've had an Android for a year. It was garbage. Went to iPhone, gravy. I think Android users here are long time ignorants of apple so don't really know the smoothness of multimedia and the overall platform.
wow 3% people don't know what an iphone is?
Android are obviously not the better phone. They are simply sought after more because they are cheaper so please dont kid yourself.
The saying stands, "You Get What You Pay For"
Apple dont charge the earth for *Absolutely* nothing.
Apples machines in general are manufactured at a premium standard. So why souldnt they charge premium?
As for software integrity... Apple floors - I repeat - Floors, the competition. Smoothness, User Friendly, Fast, Responsive.
I Currently have an iPhone4 and personally - 10/10
Good thing my contract ends on Oct 16th ^^
Cant wait for the iPhone 4S(G)/5!
I am just waiting fr the damn thing to b released so i can buy it!!!
I am just waiting fr the damn thing to b released so i can buy it!!!
I have been waiting for the iPhone announcement today with great anticipation because I am currently out of contract with Verizon and am the horribly unfortunate owner of a blackberry. I purposely did not upgrade this year due to the supposed iPhone 5 launch. Learning that the 4S was announced opposed to the 5 was disappointing enough, but learning that the 4s utilizes only the 3G network on Verizon was the last straw. On principle alone, I will not buy the 4s and am going to purchase a Droid Bionic tomorrow. I am done waiting.
I have used Galaxy tab,i phone 4 & galaxy S2,now I m eagerly waiting for Iphone 5,I want to know is it really different or not?????
here is your choice be on the bleeding edge with android or wait for crapple to doggedly follow the crowd. the arm a5 in the new line is made by who? samsung the same guys running an arm a9 in the Samsung Galaxy S II. the idea of Premium hardware Made in china? that just sounds like an oxymoron.
Damn you JOKER, how much you in your pocket, do you have what I have got every end of the month....whats you mouth pug.
LOL wow anyone who has really used a 4g phones knows its better than any ibrick ever made. I work with alot of ibrick users and they use my HTC EVO 4G one time and love it wished they had got the HTC . but they are stuck with att with no 4g and an inferior phone !!
I've owned android galaxy s2, iPhone 4 and 4 s and gotta say out of box iPhone is better of the bunch. Much Easier to use with a better interface. Yes the s2 is faster but at what cost? Battery life is shit, phone feels like it is made out of cheap materials and will be replaced in 3 months with something better ruining resale value. Htc sensation quickly changed to amaze and im sure samsung prime will replace s2. I feel good knowing apple products retain value after years of use and will continue to work
This is not the new iphone 5. This is just a cover for the back you can buy here in China for 3 USD! They replace the glass iphone 4 cover with this aluminum looking cover!
What i will say. Your iphone is good. Vedio is also interesting. I enjoyed.. But I want the features can you post more...

Is it just me, or are they planning on making this thing look like the Galaxy Nexus especially with that curved display?
Clearly an apple fanboy. The ONLY reason why an iphone is better than any android phone is because there's only 3 different versions of the phone. With android phones not every application is bound to work because developers can't get their hands on the 40+ different android phones to specify the app too. Otherwise in specs the iphone gets shit on hardcore. The iphone also wasn't made for multi-tasking where as android was. Basically if you want a very dull and bland phone that works then go with an iphone but if you want a lot of customization, freedom, and power then go with an android. In my opinion apple may have started the whole smartphone business but they need to step down now. One year after releasing the iphone 4 and all they can do is upgrade there phone by adding a little better resolution, camera, and siri?
LOL
kthnxbia
Nokia 3310! What a phone!
I bet well be seeing a new maps app developed by apple rather than using the google maps.
isnt the term 4g just mean 4th generation and dosnt have anything to do with the speed of the signal that is being sent?can anyone clarify this for me?
iphone 5 should be lower the price ^__^
I have an iphone, ipad and a samsung galaxy s 2 and i must say sgs2 is WAY better than iphone. you have to be a retard to buy an iphone when you have a monster like galaxy s 2 on the market. If you're a girl and dont know much about phones abilities then I think its okay to go with an iphone but if you do know how to use an Android and buy an iphone I think you are sevearly retarded.
kindly tell me when it will be launched
Samsung galaxy S2... smh I'm on the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE talk about technology lol Iphone you got knock ta f@#k out
