The NewYorkTimes ran a piece Thursday saying that the next iPhone is “just weeks away,” citing “an Apple employee who asked not to be named because he was not allowed to speak publicly for the company.” while, TechCrunch says the CEO of France Telecom is saying the phone’s launch date is Oct. 15 in France at least.
Seth at 9to5Mac says that he’s heard there will be two phones, an iPhone 5 and an “aggressive priced” version of the iPhone 4, available by Oct. 7.
Features / Specifications of Apple iPhone 5:
Design: The new phone is expected to adopt a teardrop design that is supposed to be slimmer and lighter than past iPhone models. The iPhone 5 is expected to come with an aluminum plate casing rather than the current glass backing.
Display: The iPhone 5 is anticipated to have an edge-to-edge 4-inch retina display. A curved glass display screen is also rumored that may offer more privacy while viewing in public areas. The Quantum Dot LED technology could be a possible delivery system for the iPhone 5. The new technology needs less power consumption while delivering the same quality of an OLED screen.
Dual-Core Processor: Several of Apple’s rivals, from LG and Motorola to Samsung have already released dual-core processor phones. According to a recent media report from 9to5 Mac, Apple gave its developers a dual-core iPhone 4 to allow them to prep for the iPhone 5.
Upgraded Camera: A 5 megapixel camera seems pass. Like the dual core processor, several of iPhone’s competitors in the Android world have phones with 8 megapixel cameras. A rumor back in April, from Ming – Chi Kuo of Concord Securities, said the iPhone 5 would carry the 8 megapixel rear camera. Another rumor had Sony replacing Omni vsion and making the iPhone 5′s improved camera. Expect a better phone with the iPhone 5.
4G: There have been a lot of rumors regarding the possibility of the next-generation iPhone being available on 4G networks for AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. The consensus from analysts and tech experts seems to be that the iPhone 5 will not have 4G support. Our question is why not? Plenty of new phones have come out with 4G, and all three major U.S. carriers are pumping up support for their networks. Apple has always been ahead of the smartphone trends, why lag behind on this one?
iCloud: iPhone 5 is expected to feature the new iCloud service in operating iTunes for wireless remote access of music from all computers and mobile devices. The iCloud will also store photos, apps, calendars and documents without storing them onto the phone’s memory storage.
iOS 5: Apple’s iOS 5.0, which is the newest of the OS versions. The new iOS 5 is expected to come with 200 new features that will include Improved Notifications System, News Stand and iMessage. It will also feature new applications, such as the Reminders app and Newsstand, an application resembling Folders and iBooks.
