If you want to know how the iPhone 5 will look,
when it will be released, and how much it will cost, keep looking. The media
hype over newly redesigned “iPhone 5,” the release of the iPhone 4S, the media’s
disappointment, and the sales success of the recent iPhone proves that you should
take whatever the media says with a grain of salt. Despite nobody having real
answers to the aforementioned questions, there’s no shame in making some
predicitions based on what insiders have said…
Large 4 inch Screen
According to Susquehanna Financial analyst Chris Caso, the iPhone will have a 4
inch screen, which shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering that many of its
competitors dwarf the iPhone in screen real estate. Steve Jobs’s focus on simplicity
and usefulness is admirable in an age when electronics manufacturers try to one
up one another with useless features. At the same time, the iPhone is going to
have a bigger screen to stay on even terms with competitors’ features, even if
a bigger screen isn’t how Apple plan’s to compete against other smartphones.
June Release Date
Chris Caso also asserted that the iPhone 5 will
have a June release date.
Never Before Seen Battery
All the batteries that you see in today’s mobile electronics
are rectangular and flat. Apple’s public patent applications show that it’s working on a
layered battery, which would allow it to put more stuff inside the phone,
making it more powerful and perhaps giving it an innovative form factor that
can’t be copied by competitors.
Slimmer Design
According to Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty, the new iPhone phone will
be slim and will be released sometime near the month of June, validating Chris
Caso’s prediction.
T-Mobile Support
T-Mobile uses a very unique spectrum called AWS and
is the reason why the iPhone still hasn’t come to the wireless carrier,
according to Neville Ray or T-Mobile. The iPhone 5
will have support for AWS and T-Mobile may finally add the prized Apple product
to its lineup, letting it hold on to many subscribers who would otherwise
leave.
A larger screen, June release date, innovative
battery, slimmer design, and support for T-Mobile are all rumors from authority
sources that include the International Business Times, CBS News, and Washington
Post. Whether or not the aforementioned rumors come to fruition, enjoy the smartphone
options you have now and don’t worry about what may or may not happen. Chances
are that Apple will come out with another hit product.
