With the iPhone 5 release date around the corner -- according to the latest rumor -- Apple customers are eager to know the details on the newest device. Ahead of the launch, here are some things to expect based on some inside buzz. Oh joy, right! Just show me the money.
Friday, Digital Crave is of the belief the elusive smart phone is heading to Apple Stores around the September 21 date. Assuming that insiders are not blowing smoke, pre-orders for the new iPhone 5 take place on September 12 ahead of its release date.
While the Apple versus Samsung patent battle ended with the new iPhone maker $1 billion richer, perhaps some of that cash will be put into LTE technology aka Long Term Evolution. However, with the Galaxy S3 looming, the electronics giant is pushing to ban the sale of Apple iPhone 5s in Korea.
A recent photo that leaked from a "credible" source showed the motherboard with a Qualcomm chip, likely its newest one, the MDM9615. With the iPad 3 already running LTE technology, the new iPhone 5 with the upcoming release date, will likely have 4G technology along with LTE.
It's pure conjecture, but it makes sense, given that other smart phones already have the technology in place. Apple would be remiss in leaving out this maverick chip that also transmits data. Imagine that?
The iPhone 5 release date gods speculate that the smart phone will be longer and have a wider than 3.5" inch screen like the one it currently has. After six years of squinting, it's time Apple left the eight-track era and at least moved up to cassette tapes by going with a larger LED screen, right?
Other features of the iPhone 5 include a thinner, sleeker body, longer battery life and a new connector. Now the latter is arguably a not-so-good-feature of the new device. The headphone connector has been relocated to the bottom. Brace for that new oddity.
Rumors also suggest that a new nano SIM is under the hood to set the standard in cellular connectivity. Also, overseas foot-soldiers report that fingerprint-reader technology is also part of the upgrades.
With the new iPhone 5 release date thought to be September 21, get ready to stake your claim in a long line near you.
