New iPhone (5)

The new iPhone (5) should be coming out at end of September. There are rumors about it all over the Internet and cell phone companies are beginning to drop the price of the 4S in accordance to launching of the new hardware.

The likely hood that the hardware is faster than the previous version is, most likely, true but sadly and most likely still won’t be faster than some android devices. But one thing I’m hoping happens is the front facing camera gets an upgrade to 1.3mp vs its current 0.3. They will most likely move up the processor to a 1.2 dual core with 1gb ram and still keep the same sizes of space (16, 32, 64). Although there are rumors of Apple upgrading the screen to a 4 inch screen from the 3.5 size with a odd resolution of 960×1136 but in my opinion it’s still an upgrade either way.

Keep surfing around for more information. The announcement should be September 12 and supposed release date is the 21, but no one knows for certain.

iPhone 5 rumor-round-up

OK for many months now people have been speculating on what the new iPhone is going to look like… Well after doing some research and collecting data I have managed to grasp some info and bring it into a blog site round-up for all to see.

First and formost is the rumor of a bigger screen.

It is said the new iPhone (or “iPhone 5”) is going to have a 4 inch screen {see below} [up for from the original 3.5 inch]

In the pictures mentioned above you will also come to notice that not only is the phone longer but most everything on the bottom of the phone has changed in 1 way or another.

For instance,

The headphone jack has been moved from the top of the phone to the bottom and the Dock connector has been shrunk by roughly half the size of the original port.

The mic looks to have been either enhanced or just moved to make way for bigger *stronger* speakers

Potential New iPhone 5 Parts

Square in Stores!

Square’s turning up the heat… Now when you walk into a store like Walgreen’s, Staples or Fedex (office locations) you will see the credit card terminal on the store shelves for sale at just $9.95 a dongle. You may ask yourself “Why would I pay for a Square Card Reader?”, well it’s because it’s actually free. There is a $10 rebate inside for “new users”. If you prefer to just go online and make an account you can still do that as well and wait for the card reader in the mail or just head down to the store to pick one up.

iPhone rumors have heightened!

At this point “iPhone 5” rumors are beginning to heat up as more and more images begin to “show up” across the net.

I have looked around and came across one that may be real and seems more legit than most…

Although a redesign is inevitable to give a potentially bigger screen (4 inches) and a smaller dock connector to make space for the rumored “stereo speakers” (instead of 1 speaker *with increased sizes*). There is also rumors of them moving the Headphone hack to the bottom (next to the speakers) and making the phone even thinner than the 4S.
