iOS 5 Concept Video Shows Off Cool Features That Could Come to the iPhone 5

It’s no secret that iOS 5 will arrive on devices this fall, including the iPhone 5, but exactly what iOS 5 will allow developers to do as they master the new system is still up in the air.

For example, we don’t know if app developers will be able to make apps that put widgets in the notification bar so that you can pull down and see the information you need most. Right now, the only widgets are for stocks and weather, but we hope that Apple allows third-party developers to place widgets in the notification area without forcing users to jailbreak their devices.

Here’s a look at some cool features we might see in iOS 5, or more likely in iOS 6, when Apple gives developers the access to these areas.

I’m not a fan of all of these ideas, but I love the home screen widgets, live icons, call widget in the notification drop down and the ability to collapse notifications.

Other features shown off in the video include;

• Call notifications as pop over
• Persistent notifications
• Additional gestures
• Widgets in Spotlight
• Changing app icons

What do you think about this vision for iOS 5? It isn’t anything official from Apple, but as an Android user who has thought about switching on more than one occasion, this version of iOS 5 would make it a much harder decision when I went to purchase my next phone.

iPhone 5 Parts Suggest Slimmer Design Perhaps?

Ah the wonderful world of speculation and the upcoming new iOS
smartphone, yes folks more speculation concerning the iPhone 5 as
numerous leaked parts for the device hit the net waves, this time round a
high resolution camera module with LED flash purportedly for the iPhone
5.

The iPhone 5 parts images come our way courtesy of the guys over at 9to5 Mac and have been published by Greek iPhone, who claim that the camera module is “quite different” to that of the current iPhone 4.

Along with the supposed camera module the website posted an image of an audio cable that apparently suggest the design of the iPhone 5
changes slightly and an image of the audio cable with the headphone
jack along with connectors for the volume up and down buttons and mute
and vibrate switch.

Apparently in this particular image the volume
buttons are on the right rather than the left, and the guys speculate
that this could be either for a “smaller iPhone codenamed N97” or for a “redesigned iPod touch.”

So
there you have it the latest bit of speculation based on purported
iPhone 5 leaked parts, but to be honest as I always say, nothing is
confirmed with the iPhone 5 or any other Apple gear for that matter
until such times as Apple lets the cat out of the bag.

So what do
our readers think, are these parts for the iPhone 5 or perhaps for
something else, and do you feel these leaked parts signify that the next
iPhone will feature a slimmer profile? Feel free to voice your opinions
to our comments are below.

Personally As the parts aren’t stamped
iPhone 5 or anything else I feel they could be for just about any
smartphone out there or in production, still we take everything to do
with Apple gear leaks with a pinch of salt don’t we.
