iPhone 5 Rumored to have Fingerprint Unlock
This
rumor comes from speculation after Apple recently purchased AuthenTec
which specializes in fingerprint technology. And while it would be a
very nice iPhone 5 feature, it doesn’t seem that likely. The new phone
is supposedly already in production. Unless Apple had earlier workings
with AuthenTec before the purchase, it is more likely a feature to be
found in iPhone 6 (or iPhone 5S).
iPhone 5 Leaked Photos
Next
up were the supposedly leaked photos of the new iPhone from a
production factory. To date these seem the most likely to be legit. They
look like the real deal and also sport the rumored 19-pin connector
dock. But their legitimacy can also be brought into question because of
the next rumor.

iPhone 5 Will Feature 8-Pin Connector
This
was probably the most surprising rumor this week. Tech blogs everywhere
have basically confirmed that it would downsize to a 19-pin connector.
Now an iPhone accessory manufacturer seems to claim otherwise. Not only
do they claim the iPhone 5 will have a microUSB equivalent dock at just 8
pins, but that it would also work as a Magsafe connector. Magsafe is
the technology currently used in Macs that utilize magnets to keep the
charging cable in place. That could be a very interesting iPhone 5
feature.
iPhone 5 Release Will Be September 12th
There
has been speculation of a September release date for the phone, but so
far rumors have pointed towards the 21st. Now it seems that an earlier
release date has been thrown around at the rumor mill. What may be more
likely is that the 12th will act as the day of the press conference. The
21st on the other hand will be when consumers can first get their hands
on the new devices.
iPad Mini Rumored Release and Production
The
iPad mini has been rumored for a while, but nothing other than its
existence has been speculated. Well now thanks to a source from Japanese
site Mackotakara, it is being said that the iPad mini will launch
alongside the iPhone 5. Should that hold true, it would certainly be a
huge launch day for Apple.
The
site also claimed the smaller tablet was being produced in Brazil by
Foxconn. It even had some specs to report saying that the iPad mini will
come in at the same thickness as the iPod Touch and won’t have a retina
display in order to help keep the price competitive against devices
like the Google Nexus tablet and the Kindle Fire.
iPad Mini Case Leaked
Accessory
maker DeviceWear had posted pictures of leather cases on their site
which suspiciously looked to fit a smaller Apple tablet. The pictures
were later taken down (and luckily saved by some sites) only increasing
the suspicions of Apple preparing to launch the iPad mini. The picture
also shows off the smaller tablet sporting a 19-pin connector.
iPhone 5 Will Cost $800
You
have probably seen this rumor trending on Twitter. It isn’t true. If
anything it’s just meant for people to take a shot at their social media
comedic skills at certain iPhone 5 features they’d expect. If this does
hold true I will personally send Apple a bottle of medication, since
they’d have to be pretty ill to make a pricing blunder of that caliber.
As
you can see, plenty of rumors have surfaced since our last roundup. And
you can bet that more will just keep popping up as we grow closer to
the release date, regardless of if it actually is September 12.
10 IMPROVEMENTS:-
1. That bigger display
According to most reports surrounding Apple’s iPhone 5, the device will come with a 4-inch display. Apple’s current iPhones have 3.5-inch screens. Although Apple hasn’t confirmed it, the chances of the company delivering a 4-inch display in the iPhone 5 seem awfully high.
2. NFC
From this point on, consumers and enterprise users can expect to see near-field communication make its way to Android-based handsets. They can’t expect the same from Apple’s iPhones. In the iPhone 5, Apple can change that and finally offer near-field communication and all of the benefits that go with it.
3. Same price
Apple has historically kept its latest iPhones at the same price as its predecessors. The company must do the same with the iPhone 5. At $199 with a two-year contract, the iPhone is perfectly priced. And Apple should do everything it can to maintain that price level with carriers.
4. iOS 6, of course
It wouldn’t be the iPhone 5 unless Apple offers iOS 6 in the device. After all, iOS 6 is the latest mobile operating system from the company and should be bundled in its best mobile hardware, right?
5. 4G LTE
With the sheer number of smartphones launching nowadays with 4G LTE networking, it would only make sense for Apple to deliver the same connectivity option. In mobile wireless, 4G LTE is the future. And everyone knows it.
6. A new look and feel
The iPhone design is getting a little old. It made its debut a couple of years ago with the launch of the iPhone 4 and persisted until now through the iPhone 4S. Apple should launch a new design with the iPhone 5 and show that it’s not content to simply maintain status quo and collect its profits each quarter.
7. That smaller Dock connector port
According to several reports, Apple will be launching a smaller Dock connector port in the next iPhone. The port would deliver 19 pins, as compared to the 30-pin variety Apple is using now. That might annoy some accessories owners, but that smaller port should offer more functionality over time. Better yet, it’ll save Apple precious space in its mobile devices. It’s a win-win.
8. A continued desire to deliver mobility
One of the key aspects of Apple’s iPhone success over the years has been its willingness to make its device as mobile as possible. The iPhone is thin, not too long, and fits perfectly in a pocket. As Apple finalizes its latest design, it should be sure to continue to offer the high-quality mobility everyone has come to expect from the firm.
9. Bring on the A6 processor
When Apple announced the new iPad, many hoped that it would unveil the A6 processor. Instead, it delivered the A5X processor in the device. Speculation abounds that the next iPhone will come with the quad-core A6 processor. One can only hope.
10. Wireless charging
Apple has slowly but surely started the process of going entirely wireless with its many products. Rather than hook up the iPhone to a computer to update it, for example, wireless updates are available. However, Apple has yet to cut the cord in one very important place: wireless charging. It’s about time Apple delivers wireless charging to the iPhone ecosystem. And the best way to do that is to deliver it in the iPhone 5.
According to most reports surrounding Apple’s iPhone 5, the device will come with a 4-inch display. Apple’s current iPhones have 3.5-inch screens. Although Apple hasn’t confirmed it, the chances of the company delivering a 4-inch display in the iPhone 5 seem awfully high.
