New rumors indicate that the next generation iPhone
could come with a new aluminum design for AT&t and Version,
ditching the ultra-fragile glass back coming with the iPhone 4 and also
features such as aluminum back, the A5 SoC, and confirmation of a June
or July 2011 release date. The iPhone 5 would look more like the iPad
2.
The iPhone 5 rumors continue to fly fast and furious nd it’s looking more and more like a fall launch for the next iPhone.
All is unknown. But that hasn’t stopped me from updating this list of
most-wanted features with information gleaned from the arrival of iOS 5,
as well as other new products and services. As a reminder, the 20 items
in the list are ordered from least important to most in a reverse
countdown.
20 most-wanted features:
- iOS 5:
What new features will iOS 5 bring? Who knows, but we look forward to its arrival in June. - 4G network compatible:
The one big thing missing from the iPhone 4 is the lack of next-gen 4G data network support, which is probably why Apple called it the 4 instead of the 4G.AT&T will reportedly have a 4G network up and running in 2011, whereas Sprint has already rolled out its next-gen network. Verizon has also just deployed its 4G network, but the Verizon iPhone 4 will not support 4G data. - Dual-core processor:
With Apple’s acquisition of PA Semiconductor, it’s started designing and churning out its own CPUs. The iPhone 4 has an A4 that runs at 1GHz. However, now that LG, Motorola, and others have unveiled dual-core Android phones, the processor ante has been raised.Rumor has it that Apple will move to a dual-core processor featuring a pair of 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 cores in both the next-generation iPhone and iPad 2. But that’s just speculation. - Better camera:
We certainly appreciate that Apple improved the camera in the iPhone 4 (5 megapixels; LED flash), but we’ve seen rumors that Sony is developing an even better 8-megapixel camera for the fifth-gen iPhone. - Improved 3D graphics:
The A4 CPU has a Imagination PowerVR graphics chip integrated into it. Like the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4 uses a PowerVR SGX535 chip. But the iPhone 5 will hopefully get the PowerVR SGX545, which was announced last year. - Better cloud-computing support:
Setting up an Android phone is dead simple: input your Gmail username and password, and the phone will immediately start pulling your Google-based contacts, calendar, and other info. The iPhone, by contrast, is still a slave to iTunes for activation and media syncing. Whether it’s a free version of Mobile Me, or an online version of iTunes powered by Apple’s Lala acquisition, cloud-based iPhone syncing can’t come soon enough. - Fewer failed and dropped calls:
AT&T has always had problems with its iPhone service in big cities like San Francisco and New York, where AT&T complaints seem to run highest.Some have questioned whether it’s the phone or the carrier, but either way, it will be interesting to see how Verizon’s network handles the influx of iPhone users. It’s also possible that the migration of some AT&T iPhone customers to Verizon will bring relief to AT&T’s network and perhaps its service will improve. Let’s hope so. - More carriers:
Now that the CDMA version of the iPhone has finally come to Verizon, it wouldn’t be too hard to make a Sprint version. Or how about a T-Mobile iPhone? Alas, we don’t know whether Verizon’s worked in any sort of exclusivity agreement into its deal with Apple, but let the rumors begin - Video chat (FaceTime) over 4G network:
Currently, on the iPhone 4, FaceTime only works over Wi-Fi and only with other iPhone 4s. We’d like to see an option to use it over a cellular data network, and hope it’s supported when AT&T’s faster 4G network ramps up in 2011. We’d also like to see the ability to make video calls with PCs. - Improved home screen:
We’re still waiting for a more customizable home screen, with a real “dashboard.” So far it has yet to appear in iOS 4. - Better battery life:
Every time Apple puts out a new iPhone, the battery life gets better, so we expect no less from the fifth-generation iPhone. Apple says the iPhone 4 has 40 percent more talk time than the iPhone 3GS. So, if the past is any indicator, we might see similar gains in next year’s model. - Flash support:
It’ll be a cold day in hell when Apple allows for Flash support on the iPhone. But that doesn’t mean we can’t ask for it. - Expandable memory:
Not happening, but just thought we’d ask. - More memory:
A lot of people were disappointed that the iPhone 4 didn’t come in a 64GB version (only 16GB and 32GB). Maybe next year we’ll get 64GB. - Removable battery:
This well-known rendering of a future iPhone dreams of a model with a removable battery. That appears to run counter to Apple’s current design principles. - Enhanced voice control:
We expect that in the the next generation of the iOS, Apple will continue to flesh out the voice controls for the iPhone, but there’s always room for more enhancements. It would be cool to be able to compose e-mails or text message by just using your voice, no? - RFID:
Rumor has it that Apple is looking into integrating radio frequency identification, or RFID, into the iPhone. RFID is sort of a bar code replacement and could allow your iPhone–among other things–to act as a payment device or even a car key. In the image to the left, you see a scenario where the iPhone acts as a combination lock (to open what, we don’t know). - Biometric security:
It’s hardly a must-have upgrade, but it would be cool to swipe your finger–instead of enter a password–to unlock your phone. (Image note: Allegedly, Apple has filed some patents related to this feature.) - HD output:
Right now, you can’t output 720p or 1080i HD video from an iPhone (any iPhone). We hope Apple allows for HD output in the future, particularly when you consider that Sprint’s Android-powered Evo has full HD output via HDMI. - Built-in IR:
We like the idea of using the iPhone as a universal remote, but we’re not so keen on attaching an IR dongle to the phone every time we want to use it as a remote.

iPhone 5 may feature curved glass screen, continue iPod nano legacy and
this move has apparently been in an effort to accelerate production,
with glass makers reportedly showing a reluctance to buy the machinery
themselves due to its prohibitive cost. Apple is reported to have
purchased 200-300 glass cutting machines that will be used by glass
makers and the cover glass makers weren’t too keen on purchasing the
equipment because it cost too much.
Apple’s iPhone 5 will feature a curved-glass touch-screen display, according to a new DigiTimes report. “Cover
glass makers are reluctant to commit investment to the purchase of
glass cutting equipment due to the high capital involved,” according to the May 23 report, citing unnamed sources. “Apple reportedly has purchased 200-300 glass cutting machines to be used by glass cutters.” Those machines are supposedly stored at various assembly plants in anticipation of covered-glass production ramping to acceptable levels. DigiTimes also hints that Apple
is partnering with its suppliers over manufacturing processes such as
glass-cutting and lamination. One of the iPhone’s recent rivals, the
Google Nexus S, debuted in December 2010 with a screen curved
ever-so-slightly inwards. At the time, Google claimed the display “fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face.” The Dell Venue Pro, a smartphone running Windows Phone 7, also features a curved display—albeit slightly outwards, perhaps in a bid to broaden its range of visibility.
Other rumors have suggested Apple is prepping an edge-to-edge screen for the next iPhone. Those reports stem from an “iPhone 5G” case offered on Chinese manufacturer Kulcase’s Alibaba.com Website, which was noticed by Electronista and subsequently picked up by Apple-centric blogs such as Apple Insider. Still more scuttlebutt suggests that, no, the next iPhone will feature only incremental upgrades, even as it appears on a broader set of carriers. AT&T and Verizon remain the only two U.S. carriers of the iPhone at the moment. Despite AT&T’s plans to acquire T-Mobile for $39 billion in cash and stock, the smaller carrier has denied it will carry the iPhone
in the short term. As always, Apple’s tight in-house secrecy creates a
vacuum in which even the most fanciful rumors can flourish to full live.
That being said, the latest surrounding the iPhone 5 should probably be taken with a dump-truck-sized grain of salt until the company makes an official announcement.

Verizon will continue to compete with AT&T on the iPhone and Big Red
will sell the next-generation iPhone , referred to by some as the
iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S alongside AT&T. The next Verizon iPhone will
operate in as many countries as AT&T’s global iPhone and guess that
Verizon is preparing for a big announcement on this front when the
next-generation iPhone hits global shelves.
Verizon is limiting usage of data services to avoid
putting a strain on its network or increasing network costs out of
proportion to monthly fees. Operators are dependent on data services for
revenue growth, and they are still figuring out how to cap usage in a
way that makes data services affordable enough for consumers to use
devices other than phones.
In February Verizon ramped up its competitive efforts against AT&T by launching a version of the Apple Inc (AAPL.O) iPhone, which had been exclusive to AT&T. While Verizon has sold fewer iPhones than some analysts expected, Shammo said he was happy with sales of a “six-month-old phone” that only works in some countries. Verizon‘s device was a version of the iPhone 4, which AT&T had launched the previous summer.
When the next iPhone model launches, Verizon will be able to offer it at the same time as AT&T, according to Shammo, who had said in April that Verizon’s next iPhone would have global coverage, like AT&T‘s iPhone.
Some customers held off on buying the first Verizon iPhone because they were waiting for a model that supports Verizon‘s high-speed wireless service, which runs on a new technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE). Shammo said that even if the next iPhone does not support LTE, Verizon will have enough high-speed alternatives to sell.
“I think it’s a bigger issue for Apple than it is for us,” he said. “Depending on where Apple plays, that’s where we’ll sell.”Apple is widely expected to utilize a CDMA-GSM Qualcomm chip in the next iPhone and recent reports indicate that a satisfactory LTE chip will not be ready in time for this year.

A major story has broken that is quickly taking the tech blogosphere by
storm. As reported within the hour by Forbes, analyst Peter Misek with
the prominent firm Jeffries & Co. has come forward with claims that
Apple's next generation iPhone
will not be the iPhone 5 after all. Given the minor cosmetic changes
we've all anticipated, the refreshed touchscreen handset will be
released as the iPhone 4S.
"According to our industry checks, the device should be called iPhone 4S
and include minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core
processor, and HSPA+ support," Misek stated in a research note to
investors. Misek also says that his sources confirm the iPhone's
expansion to Sprint and T-Mobile, a move that will effectively make
Apple's celebrated handset available on all four major carriers in the
US. Apple‘s anticipated iPhone upgrade, however, isn’t likely to include
LTE functionality."Industry checks indicate Apple will likely announce Sprint, T-Mobile, and China Mobile as new carriers." The "iPhone 4S" name hasn't been widely used to discuss the next-generation iPhone. But due to the now-obvious fact that next month's WWDC is all about iOS and not new hardware, it appears that the plan inside Apple is to release the slightly modified iPhone 4S this September.
As summer rapidly approaches, all signs, reports, and supposed leaks appear to corroborate what this late Friday report from Forbes has revealed.

3D content will no longer be limited to gaming, cinema or television;
the 3D experience will soon be available on a smart phone, with full
capability of recording, viewing and share 3D content without glasses.
 |
| The LG Optimus 2X is the world’s first dual-core Android OS smart phone with a 4-inch display. |
Following its announcement at the recent Mobile World Congress 2011
in Barcelona, the LG Optimus 3D, the world's first 3D smart phone, is
expected to be landing on shelves in Thailand by the third quarter of
this year.
Offering a real 3D experience, it will perhaps change the way you interact with the handset.
Running on Google's Android operating system, the LG Optimus 3D is
equipped with a pair of 5MP cameras which can be used to capture both
conventional and stunning 3D images and videos. In order to offer the
best performance, the phone uses a new dual-core, dual-channel and
dual-memory architecture.
The Optimus 3D is another breakthrough technology that boosts LG's
goal of being the leader in the 3D battlefield. LG Electronics
(Thailand) recently introduced a new era of 3D TV with its LG Cinema 3D
TV claiming the best features where viewers can access limitless 3D
content any time.
The company's marketing director, Thunyachate Ekvetchavit, said the
LG Cinema 3D TV features a Film Patterned Retarder (FPR), which
optimises the separation of images, producing better 3D effects with
minimal cross-talk.
LG's 3D Light Boost creates bright, crisp images for a superior 3D
viewing experience by counteracting any dimness that can occur with 3D
content. With similar 3D technology to that used in cinemas, LG has also
developed highly affordable and lightweight 3D glasses which do not
require power from batteries and emit no electromagnetic radiation,
enabling viewers to use the glasses for hours without discomfort. Since
the glasses do not need to sync with an emitter, viewers can watch from
nearly any angle in the room, even when lying in front of the TV. LG
also provides the most convenience for users with its Magic Motion
Remote Control.
 |
| The LG Optimus Pad features 3G, 3D LCD capacitive touchscreen, dual 5MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. Set to start a new trend in the tablet market |
"This will be an essential evolution of the 3D TV in Thailand," Thunyachate said.
LG has also become Thailand's first brand to enhance the Smart TV
experience by offering local content to consumers. The LG Cinema 3D TV
includes LG's Smart TV feature to connect to content developed by eight
content providers including Nation Channel, MTHAI, Wikalenda,
Shoppening, Major Cineplex and others.
"We see a huge potential for the 3D TV market. So far the early
adopters mostly seem unhappy because of the limited range of content,
that's why LG is serious about focusing on the joint-development with
content providers," Thunyachate said.
On the home appliance side, LG has addressed the THINQ technology to
offer a complete smart solution that lets consumers manage their homes
in a more centralised and convenient way. The THINQ technology comes up
with five key features - smart grid, diagnosis, access, adapt and food
management.
The smart grid deploys a smart meter to ensure that appliances use
the minimum amount of energy at the least expensive rates possible.
Smart diagnosis helps customer service representatives quickly and
efficiently troubleshoot mechanical issues over the phone, limiting
costly, inconvenient service calls and home visits. Smart access makes
it possible for home owners to monitor and control home appliances
remotely from outside the home. Using a smart phone or tablet PC, users
can manage their washing cycle from the office. Alert messages will be
sent to the user's smart phone or tablet PC for items such as the end of
a washing cycle or a potential product issue.
 |
| The two 5MP cameras on the back of the phone record stereoscopic 3D video at HD resolution. |
Smart adapt allows consumers to download the latest services and
technology upgrades for their appliances via a Wi-Fi connection. With
this innovation, consumers will be able to access up-to-date
pre-programmed recipes as well as advanced cycles for their washing
machines.
Food management solution helps consumers manage the contents of their
refrigerator more effectively. By dragging and dropping food icons on
the refrigerator's LCD display, or by using the voice recognition
function, users can easily identify what is in the refrigerator, as well
as where certain items are located and when they expire. This
information is also accessible via smart phones or tablet PCs, allowing
consumers to reference this while grocery shopping.
At the centre of THINQ is the concept of an intelligent Wi-Fi grid
built around a smart meter enabling home owners to schedule the oven
cook time, washing machine cycle, tidy up the home with a robotic vacuum
cleaner and defrost the refrigerator at the most cost-effective or
convenient times.
Unfortunately, some of these ideas are far from Thailand as they require a faster broadband internet infrastructure.
