iPhone 5 Release Date: July 2011

Despite reception issues, somehow iPhone 4 has been able to be on top of the smartphone industry. However it is still a big scandal of Apple and sure people don’t forget it. According to some reliable sources, the iPhone 5 is going to be released in July 2011 and solve the issue on reception completely.

Many people expected Apple would announced it sooner in the Apple September Event 2010 but it didn’t happen. At this point it’s very clear that Apple is still passing some tests and pre-production stage carefully for this iPhone 5 so that the device will be flawless.
Here are some expected features of the iPhone 5:

  • A new, thinner and sleeker body design.
  • Time (Video chat) on 3G and 4G (no longer restricted to WiFi only).
  • as a payment method in various stores and establishments (no additional phone attachment required).
  • the NFC technology using a hardware from NXP Semiconductor.
  • recognition.
  • projector.
  • E-mail alerts with ability to assign different tones to each email address.
  • screen.
  • proof and shatter proof screen.
  • battery life = 14 hours talk time on 3G and 7 hours on 4G. Standby 600 hours.
  • Definition audio.
  • indicator light.
  • GPS built in.
Take a look at the iPhone 5 concept with futuristic hologram projector, that looks great but really I don’t think it will appear on the iPhone 5.
