Read the rest of this entry »

Just like every time Apple comes out with a new version of one of it’s mobile devices, there’s a huge buzz that’s generated all over the world. It’s totally changed the face of mobile and home phone service and consumers are, not so quietly, awaiting the arrival of the iPhone 5 and there’s a lot of speculation as to what new features will be available on the newest model. It’s said to already been in the testing phase and will likely hit the market later in 2011. Probably around the third quarter but as everyone wonders what the next generation iPhone will look like, here’s a few things that we’re likely to see on the newest model.

Many are saying that the upcoming model is going to be completely redesigned and is going to be even slimmer than the 4. Many are still wondering how Apple will fix the antennae problem that the current model has faced. Its internal antenna has been known to constantly drop calls and there has been a big question as to whether Apple will stick with the internal approach or go with an external antenna.

To date there haven’t been any leaked images but we’re likely to see those coveted pics soon but it’s likely that the iPhone 5, just like the iPad 2, will be packing a new A5 processor. This is based on a multi-core Cortex A9 chip that would, basically put, be able to launch the new smart-phone that will support both Version and AT&T’s vast network.

There were reports that the iPhone 5 was going to be powered by nanogenerators. This means that every device would be charged through kinetic energy and potential bypass the entire need for a fixed-based charging system. A person would be able to power and charge their iPhone through movement or the user’s heartbeat. This has generated a lot of attention and it’s still unclear if this will be included as one of the new features in the phone. Though Apple is actively researching nanotechnology implementation, it’s likely that the next model will stick with the standard charging system.

You’ll still be able to do all the things that the iPhone 4 did like Facetime, browsing, and host a vast array of applications. Until we hear officially, it’s anyone’s guess as to what new features will be added. These are just a few of the possibilities that we’re likely to see, either sooner or later.
