THE TOP 10 RUMORED FEATURES OF THE IPHONE 5
10. 4G LTE Connectivity. "Apple is saving the iPhone 5 brand for the LTE version, and the new model won't arrive until the 4G LTE technology is ready to be used in smartphones, which won't be out until next spring," Will Strauss, president of market research firm Forward Concepts told CNET. There have been reports that Apple was testing LTE but was unhappy with the first generation LTE chipsets from Qualcomm, which chipsets would make phones bulkier.
9. Quad-core processors and bigger RAM. The iPhone 4 has a single core A4 processor, while the iPhone 4S has a dual core A5 processor. Samsung Electronics and other Android device-makers are preparing to launch phones with quad-core processors with Nvidia's quad-core Kal-El chips.
iPhone 6 would have quad-core processors, Ars technica reported, after discovering that the Cupertino,California-based company has embedded support for quad-core chips in source code revealed in its Xcode developer tool. But Ars technica's report was based on the assumption that the iPhone 5 would be released this October.
With the iPhone 5 still due 2012, it would be more likely that the quad-core processors, which will give phones with desktop-like performance, will be in the iPhone 5. Linley Gwennap, founder and principal analyst at The Linley Group told PCWorld, told PCWorld that she expects the iPad 3 will have a quad-core A6 processor.
The iPhone 5, which will be released after the iPad 3, will likely have the same processor. As to the RAM, the iPhone 4S has the same amount of RAM as its predecessor, persisting at 512 MB. "Don't be deceived because inside it is all new", Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said about the iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5 will be a full-version upgrade over the iPhone 4. It will have a faster processor and a bigger amount of RAM.
8. Curved screen. Digitimes, citing sources in the glass industry, Apple's design team is working on a new iOS device with a curved glass screen. There were rumors earlier that Apple has been purchasing glass-cutting machines that specialize in curve screens. The iPhone 5 will have the external design changes fans have been looking for in this year's new iPhone.
7. NCF Chips. Apple will include near field communication (NFC) in the iPhone 5. Google has just announced that it has signed deals with Visa, Mastercard and others for NCF readers at stores. More people will flock to Android devices for Google Wallet if the iPhone 5 can't be a virtual wallet.
6. Operating system. Each new iPhone launched in the market comes with new software. Aside from the radical new design, the iPhone 5 needs the 200 new features from a new OS in order to entice Apple users to upgrade or Android users to switch. By the time iPhone 5 is available, Microsoft Corp. will already have Windows 8, a new operating system designed to work not only for personal computers but also for smartphones and tablets.
