subject: Iphone 5: What To Expect? [print this page] The new iPhone 5 is rumored to sport a new classy look; it will be taller and thinner and although no changes are expected on the front panel the back may have a flat aluminum casing instead of the glass backing. The 4 inch display screen will have the in-cell technology. This technology which combines the touch sensors of the screen and the LCD into a single layer is being used by all major LCD screen developers. One reason Apple is likely to utilize this technology in the iPhone 5 is that it will make the screen thinner and lower the cost of production. The display screen will feature 16:9 aspect ratio and a high definition front facing camera will most likely be included. Rumors suggest that a 3D camera will also be included in the iPhone 5. No upgrading is expected in the rear 8 megapixel camera however chances are that the maximum aperture may be 2.2. Another major physical change reported in the iPhone 5 is the smaller dock connector. The 30 pin port connector will be replaced by a 19 pin port connector. The headphone jack of the iPhone 5 has probably been re-located at the bottom of the device.
Other unconfirmed news is that the new iPhone 5 will feature a quad core A6 processor. If this is true than users can be assured of super-fast speeds and dynamic graphics which will further improve the gaming abilities of the device. Unofficial sources also state that the iPhone 5 will be blessed with 1GB RAM and the new and powerful iOS6 operating system will also make its debut with the new iPhone 5. The nano-SIM chips have also reportedly found a place in the iPhone 5. The idea of using nano SIM cards is not new to Apple as it has already incorporated nano-SIMs in its iPad in 2010. The use of nano-SIM will save some precious space which will be used in accommodating a bigger battery.
The tech pundits have predicted that the new iPhone 5 will sport 4G LTE capabilities for sure. With Verizon and AT&T as carriers, the 4G networks mean greater speed and quicker access to data. LTE or Long Term Evolution decreases battery life and Apple is said to be working to overcome this drawback to maintain its competitive edge over its competitors. The new iPhone 5 will be supporting 3G networks as well.
The new iPhone 5 is all set to win the hearts of the users with the NFC or the Near Fields Communications. This technology will makes mobile transactions possible, a feature not available in the earlier smartphones from Apple.
Nobody knows exactly what the iPhone 5 will turn out to be but there is one thing for sure it will give its competitors sleepless nights.
