The new multi-core processor has been allegedly considered faster than the predecessor. The successor was rumored to be based on the Cortex A9 design and features the coveted multiple cores. Gone are the days when you get frustrated about the battery and performance since the A5 processor will take care of that for
2. Upgrade in integrated graphics
The iPhone 5 is believed to have undergone an upgrade in its graphics and video processor otherwise known as IGPU. Apple’s market has been consistently focusing on media in their release specifically on video and apps. Since the iPhone 5 is going to be released with a new processor, it boosts the iPhone 5’s media capacity. For all ye people who are video, game and TV fanatics, this iPhone 5’s the best that you can get.
3. NFC technology
With near-field communication technology, it makes the new iPhone 5 your iWallet. This makes it possible for you to pay goods and services by simply placing the iPhone 5 on the terminal. If you didn’t bring cash or cards, no problem – iPhone takes care of that for you.
4. New antenna
Holding the iPhone in a “death grip” would significantly reduce the signal – not anymore with iPhone 5. The Apple logo was believed to be moved on the back to accommodate the new antenna design.
5. Spec bump
Specs of Apple iPhone releases have been refreshed. Thus, iPhone 5 will likely get spec bumps aside from the multi-core processor. It will likely include more memory thus more storage capacity and an increase in the screen size possibly 3.7 inches instead of the usual 3.5.
6. 1080p video recording and better camera
There is less evidence that makes this upgrade apparent in iPhone 5 but knowing Apple this isn’t an unbelievable feat. It is already impressing to acquire 5 megapixels, 720p video recording rear camera thus no reason for Apple to make an upgrade on this version. But basing on the upgraded integrated graphics which can handle 8 megapixels, 1080p video recording, this could be a probable upgrade.
7. LTE-4G speeds
This is one of the less backed-up upgrade in iPhone 5. But 4G being the latest craze, there is a slight chance that Apple will be making this upgrade as well. Apple wouldn’t want to be left behind, would they?
Several other rumors are going around such as iPhone 5 being a cheaper version and that Verizon and AT&T will act simultaneously to get exclusive deals with Apple. The above specs are definitely worth to check out on the release.
