Will iphone 5 hit the market on October 5
It seems that technologies are waiting with bated breath for iPhone 5, which is expected to launch in October.
The October release date looks probable as the California-based Apple said its iOS 5, the latest version of its operating system, will be released in the fall. Fall officially begins in the last week of September — and for the iPhone 5 to have the iOS 5 pre-installed in it, the launch should be in October.
A gaming site called PocketGamer from britain today released a shocking message: Apple is preparing a conference, iPhone 5 seems to come earlier than expected.
PocketGamer claim that they received a inside information that there will be a conference to announce on October 5 and the a new generation of hardware will be declared, and new products will be to sold in the next week after the confernce.
If the message is accurate, the date October 5, somewhat unexpected, although speculation has focused on the month of October, but most are conservatively estimated to mid-to-late in October. However, these figures seems very interesting if we put them together: iPhone 5, iOS 5, October 5 (10 May).
In fact, it is doesn’t matter of the release date of iphone 5, more things we care about is the hardware in the conference. It is said that this year there will be two models the iPhone, low-end iPhone 4s, and drop design iPhone 5, but everything is just rumors. Only waiting to the conference can we see the coming iphone’s lappearance.
But before this nervous moment, we can have a first look at some iphone 5 features.
World Phone with a SIM-less Design:
iPhone 5 is rumored to feature a new SIM-less design with two to three internal antennas for CDMA and GSM compatibility, making it a World Phone. Another rumor suggested is that the iPhone 5 will feature a SIM card slot for other countries except the U.S, allowing users to insert any SIM card when traveling abroad.
Curved Glass Display:
Apple may unveil iPhone 5 with a slightly bigger screen size ranging from 3.7 to 4-inch to counter Android rivals. Rumors of a curved glass display on iPhone 5 have been doing the rounds ever since DigiTimes reported in May that Apple had placed an order for glass cutting machines which are capable of making curved glass covers.
Design
Apple products are known for their beautiful design. iPhone 5 is expected to adopt a teardrop design that is supposed to be slimmer and lighter than past iPhone models.
The new smartphone, which may have an edge-to-edge display, would come with an aluminum plate casing rather than the current glass backing. Rumors suggest a more uniform design across all of Apple’s mobile devices as aluminum may be the consistent material used in the upcoming iPad 3 and iPod lineups as well.
Meanwhile, an analyst with Rodman & Renshaw said the form factor of iPhone 5 could be a slightly smaller version of the iPad 2.
Powerful A5 Chip
Apple may fit an A5 chip in iPhone 5 with a clocking speed in the range of 1.2 or 1.5 GHz with 1GB RAM. A5 is the same chip that powers iPad 2. Processors of several Android smartphones are powered by a minimum of 1 GHz processors.
Fire-proof iPhone
Another rumor is that the next iPhone will be a fire-proof phone. Apple has filed a patent application for an advanced halogen-free flame retardant material which could be used in future Apple products. Patently Apple, an Apple Inc. centric blog, has reported that the new material will be integrated into the manufacturing of Apple products such as keyboards, mice, iPods, the iPad, cabling and more.
