Iphone 5

5 Rumors about Iphone 5

1) A later launch date. As far as I am concerned, Apple used to launch its i-phone products around the mid of June every year and last year Apple actually launched its iPhone 4 at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference(WWDC) event. However, recently Apple hinted that this year's conference would focus on software. Hence, the release date for the Iphone 5 is rumored to be around August or September this year. 

2)Near Field Communication(NFC). Will the iPhone 5 be equipped with Near Field Communication technology that allows users to make payments through their iPhones? Nokia has announced that it will include the NFC chips in all its smartphones and I perceived that this announcement has effectively forced Apple to follow. Furthermore, Apple has hired its own NFC experts therefore many believe that NFC-enabled iPhones & iPads are in the progress. It is just a matter of time that smartphones will replace wallet.

3) A redesigned Antenna. It is no surprise that Apple will definitely improve its antenna as its antenna issue in the iPhone 4 has caused many iPhone users reported losing signal strength when they held their phones in a certain way. Apple might move the antenna behind the Apple logo in order to alleviate the problem.

4)An Aluminum Back. Due to the complains about the iPhone 4's glass covering becoming scratched or cracked the iPhone 5 might be featured with an aluminum back.

5)A Faster Processor. It is not exactly a shocker that Apple will introduce the A5 chip for the upcoming iPhone as Apple has introduced the A5 chip for its iPad 2.
