The iPhone 5 is a magnum opus without a doubt.
It is set to change the way the smartphones play
their game. Apple has not released one iota of
information about iPhone 5 specs as yet, but
with the help of rumors that have surfaced
through some very possible claims, we have
summarized the entire iPhone 5 phenomena for
you. Here’s it:
Rumors are running high all around. Just like it
happened when the world awaited the iPhone 4
release, rumors are running about in every
website that you could think of. iPhone 5 is
already a phenomena that is sure to take the
smartphone market by storm. As usual, it’s an
Apple product and Apple’s devices have always
caused such a huge flutter of activity in the
market even before they get released officially.
iPhone 5 features are much touted to change the
way smartphones would function. Improved
interface, greater Near Field Communications,
much better gesture-based controls and such
startlingly new technologies are rumored to be
figure in the iPhone 5 features. Even if half the
news that we hear about iPhone 5 turns out to
be true, then we sure have a rocker smartphone
in our hands.
iPhone 4 to iPhone 5
So how does the iPhone 5 compare with the
iPhone 4? Experts say that software-wise,
iPhone 5 is a minor update over iPhone 4. Most
notable areas of change are the hardware parts,
the processor and the way iPhone 5 lets you
sync your work. The iOS is different on both the
devices and that is probably as far as it can get.
The signal issues that iPhone 4 has would
probably be removed totally in the iPhone 5
design – that was one huge problem Apple was
facing.
Popular websites that keep us in-tune with
iPhone 5 feature rumors and news seem to
unanimously agree that the iPhone 5 would
boast a slimmer design than the iPhone 4. Being
wary of the glass display and the glass back of
the iPhone 4 – because of its brittle nature –
features of iPhone 5 could very well have an all-
metal look with a stronger and stolid display.
This might also reduce the chances of the signal
problem we found in iPhone 4.
But the details are not in these minor
information. The original crux which would
attract people is in the details of the processors,
the camera, and many other relatively new things
that is expected in the iPhone 5 specs. Let’s
take a look at each of these clearly and also find
out the possibility of their occurrence in the
iPhone 5 when it is released.
iPhone 5 Specifications – Part One – the
Hardware
Every product that Apple has come out with, has
had a very strong sense of elegance. Even the
latest iPhone 4 had this very cool look and
professionalism. iPhone 5 is said to be thinner,
slimmer, stronger and most appealing in terms of
size.
All-Metal Body? Perhaps, with the problems
faced in the iPhone 4′s display, the glass make
is about to go out. The back panel might be
metallic, making the iPhone 5 an all-metal phone
with a strange rumor about the glass being
totally different from that of any smartphone.
The curves are most probably back in the iPhone
5 specs. It might no longer be a close square cut
like the one we found in iPhone 4. Also
impressive is the fact that iPhone 5 would have
a larger display area of about 4 inches.
So far, here are some of the things we have
been hearing all too often, to think that they
could be true to a large extent:
Curved Glass / 3D Display – Okay,
the 3D display might be a far
fetched idea, but the possibility of
the curved glass design might be
quite true. Apple recently bought
about 300 special glass cutting
machines and that was reported
by DigiTimes. If that was true,
then surely Apple is onto
something with its iPhone 5′s new
glass display.
8 MP Camera with Dual Flash –
Unimaginably for Apple , it has not
yet offered 8 MP cameras on its
devices while Samsung and HTC
have already come out with their
own 8 MP cameras already – way
too early for Apple. The iPhone 5
would be an answer to this. Or so
we think. An 8 MP camera with
dual flash on the rear means
higher resolution pictures, greater
quality and most notably, greater
quality in low-light pictures where
the red-eye occurs. Of course, we
need to keep our fingers crossed
for the iPhone 5 specifications to
have this.
A5 Processor – Of all features of
iPhone 5 , one of the finest thing
we believe is the processor. Apple
has finally relieved its A4
processor and brought in a dual-
core processor that fires up its
iPad 2. If iPad and iPhone 4 had
the same processors, then it is
quite logical to assume that
iPhone 5 and iPad 2 would have
the same – the A5 processor dual-
core for enhanced performance.
This is a very sure rumor as far as
we know.
More Gesture-based – No Home
Button – Oops! No home button?
Well, yeah, quite possibily. Apple
has moved to improved gesture
based controls through its iOS 5.
So it is quite possible that the
home screen might be dropped for
enhanced gesture-controls – one
large interface change in iPhone 5
specifications.
Storage and RAM – the features
of iPhone 5 is more likely to have
an improved RAM of 1GB to go
with the dual-core processor. The
RAM was 512 MB in the iPhone 4.
The storage too might have a
chance of increase. Some rumors
said it was 64GB this time, but
there are some people who say
that Apple could very well –
considering the wide range of
devices, the iPhone-PC or iPhone-
Mac sync – do away with the
internal storage thing!
Fire-proof iPhone – Stunned with
this iPhone 5 feature?? Well, why
not to be… New iPhone 5 is likely
to be the fire-proof and the
company has organized a patent
app for highly developed material
which is halogen-free flame
retardant. It could be incorporated
in the iPhone 5 specifications to
build this new iPhone 5 and other
Apple products.
Wireless Charging- Well… this
iPhone 5 specification would give
you another break! But you never
know the wireless charging is
really creating a mass appeal. It
could be possible with the
inductive wireless charging
technology. If you could juice up
the battery of iPhone 5 then this
will be a big hit. So until iPhone 5
release date comes and the Apple
release new smart phone with
super cool iPhone 5 features,
imagine charging this smartphone
without cable.
Extended Battery Life – According
to the expected iPhone 5 features
and specifications, new iPhone 5
would run on the more powerful
battery giving extra talk time and
stand by time. Since the new
additions of the Apple iPhone is
going to have lot more advanced
features and applications, the
battery will be required to sustain
this extended utilization.
The Software iPhone 5
iOS 5 – A brand new phone and a
brand new OS. The iOS (formerly
known as iPhone OS) featured
since the days of the iPhone 2G.
These are very popular times of
the iOS 4 but that is soon set to
change. IOS 5 has been announced
officially. The way it works is
through gesture-based controls
more than button taps. Perhaps
that is why people suspect the
lack of a home button in the
iPhone 5 features. Design-wise too
there are quite a number of
changes and enhancements in iOS
5 which was released in the WWDC
held this June.
iCloud – We just had the release
of some beta apps with iCloud
enabled in them. ICloud is the next
big thing according to Apple. It is
all about sync and nothing more –
sync done right. Usually sync is
where you had to connect devices
and take further steps – for
instance, iTunes. But with iCloud
all that work is done with a simple
tap of a button – the iCloud
button. From within iCloud enabled
applications, all you need to do is
tap this and your document, photo,
contact, bookmark, calendar or
whatever gets pushed to all your
other Apple devices with the iCloud
equipped!
HD Video Recording and HDMI
Output – In sync with the iOS 5
features, there is a strong
possibility that iPhone 5 comes
with HDMI output and most
certainly with HD video recording.
iPhone 4 had HD video recording
already and iPhone 5 might either
have the same or an enhanced
version of it.
Gaming on the move – Why just
for social networking and business
apps? With such iPhone 5 features,
gamers won’t get a bit lessen fun
as the new iPhone 5 possibly could
come with stronger gaming
capabilities powered by PowerVR
Series6 mobile graphics processing
architecture by Imagination
Technologies and A5 processor.
More Speed – 4G technology, the
latest standard in network
technology will help to build up the
network fourth generation that will
give you more speed…more fun on
the fly with outstanding iPhone 5
specs!
NFC Payment – According to the
reports, this NFC (Near Field
Communication) technology is
under testing and if it comes, then
user will be able to make
countless payment through
scanner. However, according to
the ibtimes, the analysts at
Jefferies are expecting that this
NFC technology will be revealed in
the iPhone 5S (probably next
version of iPhone 5). Such iPhone
5 features will definitely create
waves in the market.
App Store - one of the very
important and favorite iPhone 5
features… Apps store has always
been great stuff. And why not with
new iPhone 5 device. The App
store of the Apple holds more than
425,000 apps which means… you
can maximize your experience with
the latest iPhone 5 specs and
features.
There has been no official word on iPhone 5 as
yet. Not even its existence or development has
been hinted at by anyone from Apple. But we all
know. That was how it was with iPhone 4 too –
of course, we had a prototype leak back then.
But still, iPhone 5 is on everyone’s lips. It is just
a matter of time before we see the magnum opus
from Apple with all its bells and whistles!
