After the release of ipad3 in march 2012 in san Francisco, thoughts started circulating about the new iPhone that will it be known as the “new iPhone” or will it be given just a number like it is done with the earlier models. These rumors started circulating after the launch of the latest model of iPad as the “new iPad” rather than iPad “3” or iPad “HD”.
The new iPad comes with a retina display, 4G connectivity, a faster A5X processor and a 5 – megapixel camera. After only announcing the iPhone 4S in October last year, Everyone is expecting something big this year from Apple for what would be the iPhone 5.
Most probably the new iPhone will be announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers in June.
9to5Mac claimed: ”So about two weeks ago we got a tip from a reliable source that Apple was going to call the iPhone 5 (or whatever) – the ‘new iPhone’”
WILL NEW IPHONE 5 BEAT THE OLD 4S?
The latest iPhone 5 rumors point to a 1280 x70 resolution with a Quantum Dot LED curved glass edge-to-edge display. If the iPad 3 is released with a retina display, this will spur rumors for one on the iPhone 5. A bigger 4-inch or 4.3-inch screen is also on the rumors cards, after many iPhone customers have criticized the iPhone screen for being too small.
Better Battery
The iPhone 4s’s battery life is one of its most criticized features. Apple tried to fix the bug with an iOS 5.0.1 update, and while some users said it had improved their battery life, other complained that the performance wasn’t good enough. It is therefore likely that Apple are focusing on overall higher battery life and performance, which is paramount if it keeps introducing battery draining features like Siri.
Processor
The iPhone 5 will probably come with the same chip as the iPad 3, which is expected to have an A6 Chip, is. The first-generation iPad came with an A4 Chip and the iPad 2 followed with an A5 chip, which suggests the iPad 3 will follow suit and run on the A6 chip.
An A6 chip would double the power of the A5 chip that is currently used in the iPhone 4s and the iPad 2. An unnamed source, who claims to have an iPad 3 prototype, sent Boy Genius Report pictures of a diagnostic tool called iBoot, which states a chip model number that appears to be that of the A6 chip.
