The iPhone 5 - Coming September of 2012 (4G)
The all new iPhone 5 is already buzzing with speculation. Will the new iPhone 5 be a complete redesign? Yes! Korea's IT News reported that the iPhone 5 is likely to be housed in "Liquidmetal". Liquid metal is the industrial name for an alloy of nickel, titanium, zirconium, copper and other metals. Apple was granted rights to use it in August of 2010. The current Apple iPhone release wasn't much to rave about, although people do really like Siri, the personal assistant. However, the new iPhone 5 is going to have some amazing new hardware and features like 3D video and pictures, newly designed keyboards and 4G speeds to name a few! This is made possible by the new A6 processor which will also be featured in the iPad 3.

This phone is going to be loaded with awesome new features like video chat on 3g and 4g (no longer restricted to WiFi only), face recognition and extreme downloading with 4G. (List of possible features below). The new iPhone 5 features are speculated, but have been well received by the public and will typically follow suit based on previous releases and their features.

Like the recently release iPad 3, this new iPhone 5 will be equipped with a dual core A5X chip processors, much like the iPhone 4s (A5) and higher more powerful graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions (5-9 times better and 7 times faster) and amazing "still" images when taking pictures, AND it will make multi-tasking a lot faster, in addition to adding support for 4G speeds. There is a possibility it could contain the new A6 processor instead, boosting it above the iPad 3. It will also have a 4 inch screen (corner to corner) making it larger and on par with most android phones.

The processor will have speeds at 1.5 - 2.0 GHz and 1GB of RAM. Obviously the new iPhone 5 will have the new iOS6 software, iCloud and all the standard features of the iPhone 4S, including Siri, the personal assistant. These improvements alone will be healthy competition for the newly released Samsung Galaxy S II and the Google Nexus phone.

Apple recently filed several patent applications in order to bring 3D picture capturing to the iPhone 5. This phone will be capable of rendering, capturing and processing 3D images, which coincides with the recent changes to the dual-camera hardware. The new iPhone 5 will also be capable of taking pictures in Panorama!

The new iPhone 5 will boast 4G also known as LTE - Long Term Evolution technology according to AT&T which is due to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) which is in line with the most recent technology standards for mobile networks.

The down side. The new iPhone 5 is going to have a new, smaller dock connector. It will come with a 19-pin connecter instead of the usual 30-pin connecter which is currently how the iPhone and iPad are designed. What does this mean? New car chargers, new iHome docking stations, new portable speakers that your current iPhone can plug right in to. While this is very frustrating, it will make the new iPhone 5 thinner and with a lot more screen.

Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S, a faster version of its best-selling smartphone that includes a virtual "personal assistant" you can talk to. And now, Apple will release the new iPhone 5, which looks promising in terms of being sleek, packed with new hardware and finally less restrictions. Very exciting! We will update our information as soon as we learn more about the newest features of the new iPhone 5, as more information comes in daily. Again, this phone is going to be a complete redesign so there is still a lot to learn about this device. Check it out ....

A few features of the new iPhone 5:

4 inch screen

All new Liquid Metal design - smooth like liquid

Thinner sleeker design

SIM-Less Phone - The new iPhone 5 will be a World Phone. This is accomplished building 2 to 3 internal antennas which makes it capable of GSM and CDMA technology, so you can take the phone to any network!

Will you stay with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint or take it to a different carrier? What additional carriers do you want to see the iPhone 5 on? Any additional features you would like? (SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING BELOW).

All kinds of speculation here, and note that paragraph one says the A6 chip, and P3, the A5X. We'll see how it all shakes out, but while the hardware is sexier, it's the software that will most determine how good it is. iOS has new maps programs, Passbook which sounds useful and we'll see what else.

Going through that list of "features" is truly meh-worthy. They only seem like advances if you are stuck in the iOS backwater. Custom SMS tones? REALLY??!?!?!??!? To someone who has never used an iOS device, you might be wondering why they are touting that as a feature when every phone since the Nokia's of the mid '90s had it. But yes, really - you can't install a custom SMS tone on an iOS device without going through some complicated hoop jumping through iTunes or downloading some third party software to help you do it.

And ... Messaging Indicator Light?!?! WOW, welcome to any phone made since the 1990's!! (Except for iPhones of course, which have never had a message indicator light).

I mean, whoopee-doo. Even though it is pure speculation and fantasy, they still can't come up with a list of specs that would make it seem like a 2012 phone.

But this one caught my eye:

Extended battery life = 20 hours talk time on 3G and 10 hours on 4G. Standby 1000 hours.

1000 hours of standby? If Apple can do that then I tip my hat off to them! :)
