The plot thickens as the iPhone 5's impending arrival is drawing near. Speculations about the phone's potential features are just pouring by the day. People are desperately waiting for an official announcement from Apple's big wigs. All we know is that the said iPhone 5 may actually come out this Summer of 2012. Let me summarize the potential features of the 5th generation iPhone. Read on.
Apple is not keen on revealing the actual specs of this phone for now. But we all know that on the day of its unveiling, that is the only time that we will hear everything from them. One of the rumors states that it will sport the latest A5 chip, better camera, and 4" display screen.
Let us now talk about the iOS 5. During the WWDC back in 2011, Apple announced the arrival of the iOS 5. This user interface is mainly based on one's direct manipulation while using multi-touch movements. It is also expected to come out with over 200 new features. It is also noted to come with improved notification system, iMessage, and News stand.
The iMessage is created to compete with BlackBerry's BBM. This is said to allow Apple iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone users to communicate with each other. It is also integrated into the phone's SMS and MMS application.
Let's move on to the iCloud service. This is also a feature that might come with the handset. This is best for wireless remote access directly from one's mobile device or computer. This is also expected to automatically sync with the handset. You can store files (i.e. photos, documents, apps, and more) with this feature without having to use your phone's memory.
The iPhone 5 is also said to ship with Apple's A5 chip for its processor or maybe Apple is cooking up a newer processor for this handset. Who knows? It can have a dual-core or even a quad-core with 1.2 or 1.5GHz processor speed with a 1GB worth of RAM. Again, nobody really knows. One of the most recent rumors about this handset is that it may come with a bigger display screen (perhaps a 4.0" screen). And the famous Korean tech giant LG may be behind the production of the said screen. And the best rumor to date is that this handset will not take the same old form of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
As you can see, it is not that easy to be contented with whatever speculations we are hearing. It is best that we actually wait for Apple's big wigs to dish out the whole story whenever they are ready to do it. But then again, for now these are potential features that we can expect on the iPhone 5.
