Anytime Apple, the company that has brought us the iPod, iPad and the popular models of the iPhone, introduces a new product, talk and excitement float around seemingly endlessly. Apple has brought the consumer so many great products over the last several years that even potential releases of new products start buzz that spreads like wildfire. Once considered the underdog to Microsoft, Apple has battled its way to become one of the most sought after brands to which consumers have become extremely loyal.
The iPhone could possibly be the most popular Apple product. And it is really no surprise since it puts so many functionalities into one small device. You can use it as a simple phone, camera, video camera and media player. Plus, it enables the user to send text messages, send emails, and access the internet with a web browser with the capability to connect to WiFi or the 3G network. Many of the different smartphone brands have all of these capabilities, such as phones by Samsung or Motorola; however, faithful Apple customers remain true to their brand and sometimes snub people who hold different technological preferences.
With each release of the iPhone 5, Apple adds something innovative to keep their customers intrigued. Starting with the original iPhone, then moving up to the iPhone 3G, then the iPhone 3GS and finally the iPhone 4, Apple improved its product to what it currently is today. In the case of the iPhone 4, Apple added several cool, new features. First, the design used specialty glass that is typically used helicopter windshields for durability and superior scratch resistance. Plus, they improved the resolution of the screen, making the iPhone 4 the phone with the highest resolution. Many other groundbreaking features were also included in the iPhone, including the multi-touch function which allows users to use the ‘pinch’ motion as well as double taps (similar to double clicks).
But since the iPhone 4 has been out for quite some time now, many people just cannot help but wonder when they can get their hands on an iPhone 5. It was thought that June or July would be one of the magical months during which this new iPhone would be released. But this hope for many people does not seem to be a reasonable one, especially since Apple just released its white model of the iPhone 4.
This means that we will probably have to wait until September or a little longer until the iPhone 5 will be released. However, I believe we can count on Apple to introduce its new model of the iPhone just in time for everyone to start purchasing Christmas gifts.
Since the news about the release of the iPhone 5 is really just in the rumors stage right now, with the gossip floating around twitter, we really do not even know what to expect when the new model is introduced. Many people are having fun speculating though. Some people think that Apple will revamp their voice recognition software to become a match for certain Android phones. We can probably expect it to have an A5 chip, which the iPad 2 already utilizes, and it will most likely be running on a 4G network. That leads to a big question regarding who will get the release and when will they get it. Will Verizon and AT&T get the release at the same time? Plus, what store or stores will be able to carry this new version?
Along with the rest of the Apple iPhone 5 rumors, it is also thought that the phone will have a new and sleeker design, which will slim it down even more than before. Plus, buzz is being generated about a new pull out keyboard. We can probably count on seeing a new IOS 5 implemented as well. But what new features will Apple come up with next? I guess we will all have to wait and find out. Considering all of the things that Apple has brought us in the past, the wait for the iPhone 5 will surely be well worth it.
