Possible iPhone 5 Release Date and Features

Possible iPhone 5 Release Date and Features

Rumours are circulating as to when the iPhone 5 will be released. General consensus is that it will be sometime this summer, probably around July. This would keep in pattern with the date of previous generations of iPhone.

There has been a year gap between every release so far, so one would expect the next time to be released in the middle of July.

It is an exciting time to be an Apple fan.

What type of features are we expecting in the iPhone 5?

Feature number 1: Home Screen Customization

The iPhone 5 is expected to have home screen widgets or some form of added customization options available. This feature doesn’t have the highest probability of happening due to Apple’s genuine philosophy for simplicity, but who exactly likes a standard digital format clock as their home screen?

Feature number 2: New Design / Unibody Enclosure

From plastic to glass to unibody aluminium, this is the transition we want the iPhone 5 to have this time around, much like their latest MacBook series of computers.
We all know how beautiful a handset looks in unibody as we have all pretty much laid eyes on the HTC Legend which is possibly the greatest looking smartphone ever made. What’s more, and being unibody, the iPhone 5 would be one of the toughest handsets around, unlike the current iPhone 4, which is liable to easy breakage.

Feature number 3: A faster Dual-core processor

The current chip in the iPhone 4 is a very decent processor for a smartphone indeed, in fact, it is the exact same processor as is in the iPad.
The next iPhone 5 would be expected to have a processor clocked at around 1.2 – 1.5 GHz, giving the iPhone 5 a huge edge and allowing developers to release much more processor-heavy games.

Feature number 4: NFC Technology Integration

We want the iPhone 5 to have NFC iWallet Technology, a feature which we covered earlier in the year surrounding the iPhone 5. This feature is such a high possibility because Benjamin Vigier, the man behind NFC, was employed by Apple earlier in the year; what’s more, the Google Nexus S has NFC built in.
