The iPhone 5 could launch in June this year, although there has been a
bit of talk of it not showing up till September of this year. Either
way, the iPhone 5 (or 4GS) will eventually arrive and with it, a few
tweaks here and there.
The infographic embedded below, shows a number of changes that might happen to the
next generation iPhone and also gives a percentage of how likely the change will be made.
Some of the obvious changes include an updated camera, perhaps 8 megapixels on the back. We also hear that the
Home Button
might be dropped in favor of the multi-touch gestures used on iOS 4.3
(for developers). This is a little less likely due to 4/5 finger
gestures being next to impossible on the small screen. We hear a
slightly larger screen will be used, perhaps 4 inches. Again, Apple has
always used the smaller 3.5 inch screen with the only main difference
being the higher pixel density Retina Display on the
iPhone 4.
A
new design is also hinted at with some believing the device will take
design hints from the new iPad 2 with a flat metallic back and rounded
edges. It is more likely that Apple will stick to the iPhone 4 design,
perhaps with something to squash the antenna rumors that caused a stir
last year.
A physical keyboard is on the list although we agree that it has a probability of zero percent.
Many more rumors can be found on the infographic below (created by
Nowhere Else).
