Rumors have been circulating and information is slowly being released about what Apple lovers have to look forward to this fall regarding the iPhone 5. The release date still is unofficial, but people can expect to see the iPhone 5 on the market sometime late this September.
On June 6, Jobs announced at the World Wide Developers Conference that “[r]ight now [Apple is] very focused and excited about bringing iOS 5 and iCloud to our users this fall,” which is taking longer than expected, leaving people left with no trace of the iPhone 5’s confirmed release date.
Built into the iOS 5 is the iCloud feature, among 200 new features Apple is said to have added to the upgrade. The iCloud integrates users’ apps, documents, music, etc. into one “cloud,” enabling a wireless transfer between Apple devices. So if a user wanted to download a song on their iPad, the same song can transfer effortlessly to an iPhone.
Other rumors about the iPhone 5 include a supposed keyboard feature, 8 megapixel improved flash camera with a panoramic shot option, a curved glass screen for privacy, a faster 1.5 GHz dual core A5 processor chip that is used in the iPad, and its expansion to other carriers such as T-Mobile and Sprint.
The iPhone 5 release is expected to blow up the already booming Apple market that reported 142% growth in iPhone sales from the past year’s 3rd quarter, and a record net 3rd quarterly profit of $3.25 billion.
