We are probably a
few months away from the next iPhone release - and watching hordes of people
beaten hollow by the doors of Apple stores. In light of today's news that the
next iPhone will have a thinner screen, here's a summary of what we know about
the latest model.
Release date:
Analysts expect the phone on the market in autumn. The first four iPhones all
came in the summer either in June or July. But last year the iPhone 4S launched
on 14 October. There are many rumors about the release date - a blog called
Know Your Mobile, for example, says it "can only reveal" the date
will be August 7. As anyone who follows Apple does know, most rumors tend to be
false. In any case, all major airlines are expected to begin selling the iPhone
at launch.
Name: Apple
deceived everyone last year when it named its newest model, the 4S instead of
5. It surprised the blogosphere again this year by phoning the latest tablet
the "new iPhone" instead of the iPad 3, which indicates that he is
doing away with numbering conventions. So do not be surprised if this is just
the "new iPhone."
Screen: The Wall
Street Journal reports today that the iPhone will have a thinner screen using
in-cell technology, screen makers Sharp, Japan Display and LG Display. The
screen is thinner, as it does without a touch screen layer which is about half
a millimeter thick. This improves the quality of the images. The screen is also
larger, at least 4 inches 3.5 inches diagonally opposite all iPhones.
Features: The phone
will feature the new operating system, IOS 6, which Apple says is supplied with
200 new features, including enhancements to "voice assistant Siri, a new
3-D maps service with turn-by-turn navigation, integration with Facebook, a
"Do Not Disturb" feature to prevent unwanted messages in the night,
and a new app called passbook organizes loyalty cards, tickets and boarding
passes to the right card to display when needed.
