Are you as excited about the release of the new iPhone 5 as I am? For one reason or another I've taken it upon myself to find out as much as possible about the new iPhone 5 so that I could spread this knowledge. What do I get out of it? The benefit of knowing I'm helping rid the world of lesser non-Apple phones (*cough HTC Evo cough*). As if the iPhone 4 wasn't groundbreaking enough, the iPhone 5 is going to revolutionize the world of cell phones. Here's why: One of the biggest benefits of owning a new iPhone 5 is that it'll come with dual core processors that will make it load at super fast speeds. Not only that, but it will be incorporating even more powerful graphics chip cards, which will provide you with better video and still images. As if the 20 gigawatt gazillion megapixel already in the iPhone 4 wasn't enough... Right now it looks like the new iPhone 5 will be running on a 4G network (instead of the usual 3G). That means that some of the most likely network carriers to get a plan under are Sprint, T-Mobile, and maybe AT&T and Verizon. But we've all heard a lot of complaints about AT&T's network in the past, so I'm not sure how many people would opt to go with them for the new iPhone. In fact, one of the reasons behind the increase in Jailbreaks of the iPhone 4 was that AT&T's network had way too many problems with it. Rather than deal with AT&T a lot of people ended up jailbreaking their phones instead, a fair deal considering you can get free ringtones, themes, and apps when you jailbreak your phone. Also, anyone who says Android based cell phones are going to be able to compete with the new iPhone 5 are completely delirious. They won't even come close to the capabilities offered by the new iPhone when it comes out. If you're thinking about buying the iPhone 4, you'll be better off waiting for the iPhone 5 instead, as it should be coming out really soon this year. Here are some of the expected features: The new iPhone 5 is expected to have Face Recognition Security so that you don't have to worry about other people stealing your phone and trying to use it... That is, unless they steal your face too. (Anyone seen Face Off?) Video Chat on a 4G network instead of a slow 3G one Much nicer overall body design of the phone. It's going to be even thinner and have a shiny black piece. Shatter Resistant and Scratch Resistant Screen The lowest model will come with 32G of space and 64G of memory. I'll be able to store my whole computer on the lowest model of the iPhone 5. Yippeee for me. Longer Battery Life - Up to 14 Hours of Talk Time On The 3G and 7 Hours on the 4G. With 14 hours of talking to my girlfriends, I'm only going to have 10 hours to sleep =( HD Audio - The quality of sound is going to be extra crisp. Built In GPS - You'll never get lost or have to download one of those stupid GPS apps. How much will the new iPhone 5 cost? I can't speculate on that, but I'm going to assume it'll run you over $1000. It's definitely going to be worth it though, and I can't wait for it to come out. And while it's great to see big new features arrive, there are plenty of other things we dearly hope Apple sees fit to fix for iOS 5. Here are the 12 fixes we most want to see… 1. Wireless sync They might be mobile, but iOS devices need wires to connect them to a computer whenever you want to sync newly bought apps and other media. An over-the-air option would be useful. Also, Apple encourages consumers to buy multiple devices, but cross-device data sync (for apps and games) is almost non-existent. 2. Notifications system The current iOS notifications system is intrusive and sub-optimal. Something more akin to the call bar would be more suitable for notifications, and Apple should take a cue from Boxcar and provide a single location for exploring recent notifications. 3. Configurable lock screen Most of the competition is making a big deal about the immediacy of information, and yet the iOS lock screen is a configurable photo, the time and the date. A few optional extras - new emails, social network notifications, missed calls, even the weather forecast - would make all the difference. 4. Single-app back-up Games for iOS are growing, and device capacity isn't keeping pace. If you suddenly need the space your latest 1GB blockbusters are hogging, you must delete them and their data. Apple should provide the means to optionally reinstate data when you reinstall an app - at least when doing so from iTunes. 5. Better folders Folders are fine, but they're limited and fiddly. Since Apple's happy with you scrolling panes in apps, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to store more apps in a folder, scrolling them vertically as necessary. 6. More multitasking options The multitasking bar and the few widgets accessible when you swipe it are handy, but we'd like more options: quick access to a brightness slider on iPad; single-tap toggle of airplane mode on all devices; and a 'quit all' option for running processes. Some kind of quick app-switching gesture would also be lovely (much like the one now confirmed removed from iOS 4.3, in fact). MORE OPTIONS: The multitasking bar is useful, but it could offer power users fast access to far more settings 7. Superior data sharing There's something to be said for sandboxing apps (in it enhancing stability), but developers increasingly grumble that isolation stops data being easily shared, meaning small, focussed apps often balloon to deal with this shortcoming. Apple in part addressed this by enabling some apps to open certain file formats in specific other apps, but this is currently limited and limiting. 8. Installed apps list Everything was simple when you had 20 apps, but now you've hundreds installed, you forget what you've got available. We'd like to see an additional swipe past Spotlight that presents an alphabetical list of apps that can be filtered by typing characters (as opposed to a list gradually being populated as you type, which is only useful if you know what you're looking for). 9. Default apps toggle Sure, you can dump Apple's default apps into a folder, but you shouldn't have to. We get why Apple won't let you delete default apps (otherwise there'd be people freaking out when they 'lost' Safari), but power users should be able to at least hide them via options in the Settings app. HIDE AWAY: You can bung default apps in a folder, but you should be able to hide them entirely 10. Editable dictionary and auto-correct To be fair, the iOS auto-correct is pretty smart and it's good for assisting typing on a virtual keyboard, but as blog Damn You, Auto Correct shows, it regularly messes up. If Apple enabled you to edit the dictionary and set custom auto-corrects, these problems would disappear. 11. App Store multitasking Apple wants you to buy apps, but, seemingly, only one at a time - and slowly. We're not sure why the App Store kicks you out to a home screen every time you download something, but we wish it wouldn't. 12. Guest mode We'll never see multiple user accounts on iOS devices. However, we hope Apple will soon provide some kind of 'guest' mode, so someone can mess about with a device without wrecking your settings (although the recently added restrictions options in the Settings app are a decent start).
currently i am use Mobile VoIP App for iPhone from vontrump.com i am satisfied plz suggest if any one have more option
Really? To be honest they have just released the Iphone 4 a few onths back so give it maby another year and they might release the iphone 5 , but i've noticed , the newer version is even higher price that the older version, so i suspect this iphone 5 will be about £600 in shops
i only use facetime...nothing else and iv heard the iphone 5 will be cheaper than the previous one. they want more people to buy it
$10 says you can take a picture of a person and trick the facial security ;-) Google Android's password swipe thing where people drag their fingers can be bypassed if they eat greasy foods. I've actually done it to someone. Everyone was amused but not the phone owner lol
Mobile phones are so insecure, it is not funny. Eighty to ninety percent of static computers have been compromised in the past few years. About 80 to 90 percent of all email is spam... and it is only a matter of time until mobiles are in the same category. Who will get the most attention from the hackers ? Those that are most popular... Who is most popular ? iOS ( Apple ) and Android ( Google ).
Its great if there are lots of mobiles going to be launch in 2011 but if I just buy my smart phone before 1 or 2 month its not easy to replace it several time...
i just love the iphone. but the only thing that sets me back in buying it is the price at which it sells here in india. of that price i can get 2 similar specs android phones instead. offcourse i won't get ios. i like apple iphone 5 will rock. again.
The latest news looks like the iPhone 5, if that is what it is going to be called, will be out in September. That is a little bit late.
Yes, I have also seen the news approving that iPhone 5 will be released on September 2011. However the manufacture of this new model of phone will be launched on May - June.
A litttle later than usual. They have been putting them out around June. September is a "little bit late".
