Last year also around September – October Apple released the iPhone 4, it had been long anticipated, since its predecessor the iPhone 3GS, an updated version of the iPhone 3G. However a few weeks before the release an Apple executive had lost one of the iPhone 4 prototypes in a bar. The phone was later found by a guy, and sold to a technology review, and rumor site called Gizmodo. The prototype was sold for around eight to eleven thousand dollars. The internet was flooded with buzz, since Gizmodo had acquired a real iPhone 4 prototype not a fake rip off. Apple has been known for suing everyone/everything that stood in its path, or that used a similar name or technology. After the phone was released the world was sure that the prototype was 100% real.
This year however millions of Apple fans, and people are anticipating what they are hoping for is the iPhone 5. There are already tons of rumors online, and guess what...Apple has managed to lose another iPhone prototype in a bar, however it has not yet been recovered. Who knows maybe it will be leaked online or found, but so far police and Apple’s security team are working on it. Now on to the rumors. First of all many fans are expecting a redesign, there have been leaks of cases for the iPhone 5 on a case manufactures website, and they were mysteriously taken down within hours of the post. However people caught them, and the pictures show cases for what looks like a very sleek iPhone. Well we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. However besides the many rumors on case design, things like: 4G networking, a bigger display, an 8 megapixel camera, and world phone functionality are rumored. First up 4G networking, it is much faster than the current 3G, and is already available in some states and on some devices, it has been anticipated in the iPhone 4, however despite the name Apple decided to wait on adding 4G capabilities to their phone. Nowadays smartphones are getting bigger and bigger screens while still being able to fit in your pocket. The iPhone was renowned for its large screen but these days other companies are coming out with bigger screens, and iPhone users are hoping for a bigger screen. Foxxcom one of the companies that is making the new Apple iPhone is presumably making thousands of new iPhones a day, and rumors say that they have ran into a problem with the LCD panels for the new iPhone, so maybe there is a bigger screen coming. The next big rumor is the camera, the current iPhone has a 5 megapixel camera, but these days other smartphones are featuring 8 MP cameras, and rumors are that an 8MP camera is on its way. Now how do we know that, well an Apple employee has uploaded a picture that was taken with a portable device (an iPhone) however it’s resolution is higher then the one of the current iPhone; the picture however was removed the next day. These rumors along with the rumors that Apples next gen iPhone will be a world phone (can be used on any network type) point to a more advanced and powerful iPhone. Speaking of a powerful iPhone, Apple has been making its own processors lately, and the iPhone 4 has it’s single core A4 processor, however a dual core A5 processor is rumored, if true it would really speed up not only basic features but 3D games and apps would run smoother.
So now we just wait and see what will happen, hopefully these rumors are true, and we will get a fully functional iPhone 5 by the end of October.
Thanks!
