2012 iPhone 5 Info / Rumor Update

It has been quite a while since we have heard anything substantial about the iPhone 5, but we have some information for you. Below is a list of all of the events and details that we know of to date.

First off, the phone is to be released in mid 2012 at Apples Worldwide Developer Event which takes place in June. The iPhone 5 is thought to have a new design that features a larger screen- some say as large as 5 inches. However, the rumor is that Steve Jobs did not like the big screen and did away with it. The interesting thing is that Sony has sent out a top secret shipment of screens to Apple- we just have to wait and see how big they are!

The processor is a Quad Core that is based on the designs made up by ARM. In all likelihood it will be called the A6. The funny thing is that there are some other phones that already have this processor technology which means that it is not that cutting edge.

On top of all that, the iPhone 5 will have 4G/LTE Technology integrated into it. Don’t get too excited if you live in Europe- the spectrum has to be activated before this feature can be used in European countries. Long Term Evolution is a fairly standard offering that has a higher capacity and speed then most other wireless devices. Fourth generation Long Term Evolution has been incorporated by most cell phone makers into their devices. The technology lets you transfer video and voice much faster- this feature will be a huge selling point from Apple.

Also, the iPhone 5 may be the first World phone. It will have three antennas that are compatible with carriers all over the globe. This will make it easy to talk no matter where you are located on the planet.

Another thing that is being speculated is that the iPhone 5 will use near field communication technology to make the phone itself work like a credit card at times. Furthermore, it will be able to support 1080p HD. You will be able to get the best pictures and video of all time as the iPhone 5 will have a 8mp camera built into tot.

There is also speculation that the iOS5 and iCLoud will launch together with the iPhone 5. One cool thing about the OS updates is that they can be delivered over the airwaves. This will allow the device to work quickly and be able to be used on the go- software updates are now a breeze.
