iphone 4s

The iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S will be a game changer for Apple. The new model will be able to lift Apple above RIM, manufacturers of the globally popular Blackberry series. It is imperative that this is looked on as an option if Apple is to continue to remain relevant as a mobile solution provider. We will review a few of the more important features that the iPhone 5 will roll out with.

The latest report on May 23 cited some of the following changes:

This latest model will not accommodate 4G connectivity. While see as a major setback for the franchise many people see 4G as over kill and that it was more important for Apple to become a global force to be reckoned with over getting new technology in place. The most impressive features include the introduction of improved Near Field Communications. This type of technology is what allows mobile devices to use Bluetooth and short range wireless interaction between phone users.

The iPhone 5 will be equipped with new and improved cameras and still photo technology. More pixels and storage space seem to be of greater concern and is possible a move by Apple to outdo other brands that place emphasis on these features. Video capabilities as well as live posting to the web will be of greater concern in this model and works well with the new processor equipped with High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) which will accommodate faster 3G support. This will be extremely attractive when the model will be available to all carriers in the United States which include AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. The introduction of CDMA technology is also an added plus to this model. It means that the iPhone will marketable globally.

Aesthetically the iPhone will no longer use a glass casing but a metal one. This is expected to improve the study look, offer greater protection of the phone from free falls and more importantly help to address the reception and antenna issues that the iPhone earlier models suffered from. This new model is expected to be much lighter, have a much sleeker look and will be much more slender, hence making it more attractive and easier to carry around. The reduction in size is definitely useful because it allowed for the introduction of what were known as smaller conductive nodes.

Undoubtedly the introduction of a dual core processor is the most important development and one that will push the iPhone 5 into a new market that many competitors will be able to follow.
