What Would the New Apple iPhone 5 Be Like?

apple iphone 5 the new design
Apple has become the most valued company in the history of business with a valuation of 624 billion US dollars. At this time, its most prestigious and most revenue-generating product, the Apple iPhone is also expected to get a new facelift. Reports and tweets are flying all around us with comments and speculations about the new iPhone.

There are leaked photos of iPhone 5 that show a screen much larger than the current 3.5 inch belonging to 4S. The new phones that are expected to be released within a month’s time include the new iPhone as well as Samsung’s highly popular Galaxy Note’s second version, Galaxy Note 2 (expected release date: Aug 29). iPhone is expected to be released in September (most of the rumors indicate possible unveiling on or before 21st).

In terms of device hardware, iPhone 5 will have excellent features. Expected ones include larger, thinner display with immensely higher resolution; possible support for NFC (Near Field Communication technology); support for 4G LTE; possible support for nano-SIM technology; quad-core processor among others.

The presence of NFC, however, is not confirmed. UK’s the Independent daily reported that the iPhone 5 probably won’t be released with NFC capability. The newspaper tells that Apple is concerned about the lack of a common standard in the industry about NFC. And they are planning to release a mobile payment system of their own (probably a standard for Apple devices alone).

Anyway, all of these are rumors, and we will get to know the truth only when the actual device gets released within a few days.

Let’s look at some of the leaked photos and concept designs of the new iPhone found in various websites out there…
