The iPhone 5 is almost here. Today (September 12, 2012) is the day the world rests its eyes on the Apple's brand new iPhone. Many are expecting huge changes, while some are predicting minor updates. One thing is for sure, Apple has shifted it's philosophy from being a revolutionary technological company to a more evolutionary kind of an organization.
So far, we are sure of 4 new features that will be on the new iPhone 5 smartphone. Here is a quick rundown of what the fans will get:
A much larger screen
All previous iPhone devices from Apple have featured a 3.5 inch screen and it hasn't been much of a problem for users, with many enjoying it's consistent experience throughout the major iPhone versions particularly with the use of apps.
But that changed with the introduction of screens up to 4 inches like Samsung's Galaxy S III, which really put the pressure on Apple to respond. And responded they have, users will have a much larger screen with the iPhone 5, with some predicting it will at least 4 inches if not more.
LTE Network and Connectivity
4G is now a must have, with many network carriers rolling it out across their markets and are supporting LTE technology to benefit from smartphones with wireless capability. Apple had to upgrade from it's cellular radios to this if it needed to stay with the every changing environment.
LTE Connectivity is to be included in the iPhone 5 for certain.
YouTube's own iPhone app
YouTube now have their very own iPhone app, and will be taking over the one created by Apple. This story was covered here yesterday, and so we can be sure that the iPhone 5 will have the YouTube's version of the app. This of course will considerably improve the user experience while surfing for videos on YouTube.
Integration of NFC (Near Field Communication) Chips
Almost all of the latest Android phones have the facility of NFC chips and allow users to use their phones as wallets for purchasing products. Apple is naturally looking in to entering the mobile money market as well, especially when it has it's own iTunes store to benefit from.
So what do you think of these 4 features? There are surely many more that we will be seeing today at the launch. Which feature are you most looking forward to?
