Cupertino based tech giant Apple’s forthcoming smartphone iPhone 5 is making waves long before its launch in the market. Going by any estimate the smartphone is not going to be available in the market before August this year. But notwithstanding the fact, the buzz about the forthcoming smartphone seems to look like it is going to hit the market tomorrow.
The current upgrade of the smartphone didn’t come with any physical changes. But it is certain that the whole body of the iPhone 5 will look different from the current iPhone 4S. The size of the next gen iPhone will be considerably bigger than the existing version with a Reuters report suggesting that the display will be 4.6 inch. If that is true, then it will be 1.1 inch bigger than the existing 3.5 inch display of iPhone 4S.
Reports suggest that besides the bigger size iPhone 5 will be slimmer than the previous version. A Bloomberg report says that the Cupertino based tech giant will use new touch-panel technology for an iPhone 5 with a thinner body than previous models. Another report suggests that the casing technology of iPhone 5 may be different than the existing one. This means the iPhone is going to undergo a total metamorphosis. And the iPhone fans are very excited.
There are several other improvements expected in the forthcoming smartphone from Apple. A report by Morgan Stanley also suggest iPhone 5 will be slimmer when it arrives later this year and could include a quad-mode chip from Qualcomm that would allow for 3G and LTE functionality across all “network flavors.” Though the report suggested that Apple will remain impervious to a broader decline in consumer demand throughout the technology industry through the release of its third-generation iPad in the first half of 2012 and the launch of a thinner iPhone later this year, analyst Katy Huberty wrote in a note to investors detailing takeaways from a recent trip to Asia.
The latest Apple iPad’s launch has also indicated that the next iPhone will be 4G LTE. This will make internet blazing fast for the users. But there is another risk that the users will have to be prepared to pay heftier bill for data usage resulting from fast internet. It will eat up the data so fast that many people will have to suspend using 4G on their smartphone. It will also create issues for telecom companies who are already feeling the heat following the launch of latest iPad 3.
Another improvement expected in the iPhone 5 is better processor. Reports suggest that the new phone will include A6 processor instead of A5 that comes with iPhone 4S.
