iPhone 5

It's that time of year again when speculations and rumors hit their high point surrounding the newest iPhone model to be unveiled by Apple. After a large hype last year and many people thinking the 2011 release was going to be a new design, this year has built even higher. There is little doubt the new iPhone will be redesigned. Many rumors hint towards a slightly larger screen. I think I can speak for most people and all iPhone enthusiasts when I say a bigger screen is wanted. With the competition releasing larger screened phones, borderline tablets (Galaxy Note), customers want to see a larger iPhone screen. I'm not advocating for a screen as large as the Galaxy Note. Personally I think the Note's screen is too large, but I do believe the iPhone screen could benefit from a larger area.

Some other rumors are listed below;
- New, smaller dock connector
- Different color/finish on the exterior
- HD front-facing camera
- World phone (supporting LTE networks)

Different sources give different release dates for the phone due to different variables. Overall I'm pretty certain you can bet on a September/October release.

iPhone to Debut October 4th!!

The date has been set for the announcement press conference of the new iPhone! The much anticipated and highly rumored iPhone will finally be revealed to the world. With this being the announcement date, my estimate for the launch date of the phone is October 13th or 14th. Now that the date has been set for the world to learn about the new iPhone, let's talk about some of the rumors circulating.

There are 2 new rumored iPhones. One suggests a newly designed case with a 'teardrop' design and improved internal components. Another suggests simply upgraded components inside the same (at least from the outside) iPhone 4 casing. Then some people suggest both will be launching, one at a higher price and one at a lower price. However, people cannot decide which they believe will contain the higher price tag. Personally, I'm buying the new, higher priced iPhone regardless of it's outer design (although I would prefer it to be a new 'teardrop' design with a rumored 4" screen!).

Only time will tell if the rumors are correct (or rather which rumors are correct). Fortunately, we only have to wait one more week to find out!

iPhone 5

I cannot put into words how excited I am for the new iPhone to come out! I have had the iPhone 3GS for 2 years and am ready for an upgrade. I put off getting the iPhone 4 (mainly because I didn't have the money at the time to buy it) and now am ready for a new phone. So ready, in fact, that a friend of mine and I are planning on camping outside of a local Apple store prior to the release!

This will be my first time ever camping out front of a store for a product, and I feel it is well worth it. I would have to say I've slowly become a Mac addict over the years. It all started with an iPod mini, and has now turned into an iMac, and iPhone, with desires for more products (just not the budget!).

I will be sure to post pics and information about my journey through obtaining my new iPhone 5, and might even post a video or something of the sort showing it off!
