Everything You Need To Know About iPhone 5

 It seems like only yesterday that people were camping out to get their hands on an iPhone 4, but we’re already talking about what you can expect from the impending iPhone 5! We knew the world of technology was fast moving, but Apple seem to be whizzing along at the speed of light, which is fortunate, as we  just cannot seem to get enough of its shiny Californian goodness! Here’s everything we know about the iPhone 5 for you to ponder while we await an announcement.

• When it comes to design, we’re hearing that some things will change and some things won’t. The iPhone 5 is set to be a typically Apple large-screened unibody device with minimal detail and low-profile buttons and slots. We are hearing mutterings that Apple has seen the error of its ways when it comes to the glass back though, and there are further rumours which point towards the new metal back being part of the antenna, to help with the signal problems of its predecessor.
• We’re not sure how Apple could possibly improve on the already brilliant Retina Display, but some have speculated that it will be opting for full 1080P output, which could potentially be complimented by a high quality camera and video recording options.
•  We’re hearing some rather wishy-washy rumours about the release date too, with some sources confident that Apple will follow its traditional cycle and release the new device in late June or early July, but other sources are claiming we won’t see the iPhone 5 until September, due to the disaster in Japan holding up the shipping of components.
• We’re hoping that Apple will beef up the internals too, keeping up with its dual-core competitors on the market, as well as upping the RAM, but we suspect its tradition of 16GB and 32GB flavours will remain a feature of the iPhone 5.
• There’s no doubt that the iPhone 5 will be, as its predecessors were, right at the top end of the market in terms of price, so don’t expect to be picking up any Apple flavoured bargains any time soon, although the word on the street is that Apple is developing a budget handset, a kind of iPhone Nano, if you will, which would mean some serious market domination for Steve Jobs and co.
• Reports of a patent that was registered by Apple back in January nod towards the bezel around the screen featuring touch sensitive buttons, though we’re not sure how true this is, and would not be at all surprised if Apple was to engage in such activities, just to knock us off of the scent!

So there you have it, enough to whet your appetite, but not enough to really give us any firm and fast guarantees, which we suspect is just the way Apple want it at the moment. All we know is, we’re expecting one heck of a lot from the iPhone 5, and Apple is just the company to deliver it.
