iPhone 5 Release Date

We have also heard a rumor of a new mini iPad being released this fall along side the iPhone 5 release date. Business Insider had a report out last week that the iPhone 5 is already in production. Whether it’s the end of September or early October the iPhone 5 is coming before Halloween.

According to Business Insider the demand for the iPhone 5 is at an unprecedented level. From their report.

The market research firm surveyed more than 4,000 consumers in mid-June and found that 14% said they were very likely to buy the next iPhone and 17% said they were somewhat likely to buy it. In other words, nearly a third of consumers say they will likely buy the fifth generation iPhone.

iPhone 5 Potential Specs

The biggest new is a new iPhone connector and larger iPhone screen. And this is huge news because now Apple’s chargers will no longer be consistent across devices and a larger iPhone screen has been on everyone’s wish list since day one.

The newest rumors are that of a centered front facing camera and the possibility of Near Field Communication controllers directly connected to the Power Management Unit of the new iPhone. This NFC rumors comes from a report on 9to5mac. NFC has been a buzzword surrounding the mobile industry for a while. Let’s see if Apple can introduce it successfully to the world.

The next enormous spec change is having 4G LTE compatibility for the iPhone5. Most Android phones are already using the 4G network, so this move makes complete sense. Next, a quad core processor and upgraded chipset, here’s a new report on the possibility of a quad core processor. Next, is the potential of a 3D camera for the iPhone â€" take this one with a very large grain of salt though. Last but not least is the introduction of a “LiquidMetal” casing which would allow for a stronger and unique casing. Check out the report below. In addition to a few new specs, you can expect to see an updated operating system aka iOS 6. Here are some rumors surrounding the iOS 6 release date.
