The iPhone 5
Apple might not break out this bad boy tomorrow and may opt, instead, to introduce only a low-cost iPhone 4S. Let's assume they will, however, and tell you everything we know about it.
The iPhone 5 COULD have:
-A teardrop design, rather than the more squarish one of the iPhone 4. Imagine the curves of the MacBook Air scaled down to the Apple phone.
-Apple's dual-core A5 processor, which currently powers the iPad 2. This chip would give the iPhone considerably higher-processing power than the iPhone 4 (which is built around--you guessed it--the A4), improving its suitability for graphics-intensive smartphone gaming, among other things. For a nice breakdown of the current leaders in smartphone processors, check out this helpful survey done by AnandTech.
-An 8 megapixel camera rear-facing camera, up from 5 megapixels on the iPhone 4. Several other smartphone cameras have been bumped up to 8 megapixels, and a few even have 12 megapixels.
-A slightly larger screen, somewhere in the neighborhood of four inches. By contrast, the iPhone 4 features a display measuring 3.5 inches.
-Thinner body. A lot of the cases popping up have indicated a slimmed-down iPhone 5.
-A redesigned home button. At least two supposed design leaks showed an elongated oval for the home button. The iPhone 4's sports a circular button.
-The ability to operate on the GSM and CDMA networks, making it more suitable for international travelers.
-Expanded voice command integration. Stevie Wonder loves the current iPhone, and if the big report from 9to5mac is true, he's going to love the next one even more. Apple is expected to include extended voice command integration into its new phones; expected features include ability to dictate text messages, ask for directions and schedule events on the calendar.
-iOS 5, Apple's latest version of its mobile software, which is supposed to roll out this fall.
-The option for a prepaid contract. Rather than paying a monthly service contract from mobile carriers, customers might be able to "pay-as-they-go" for minutes.
-NFC capability for smartphone payments, tied into the credit card information stored on iTunes.
-A 64GB option. This would give it twice the storage of the most spacious iPhone 4 offering.
