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 4S!!!!

We are only 12 short hours away from finding out all the juicy details about the new iPhone! I cannot wait to see what Apple has in store, and what I will be buying within the next few weeks. Yes, I will be buying a new phone regardless of whether it's a new design or not. Honestly I would have already bought an iPhone 4 if I knew there wasn't one coming out soon. I recently dropped my second 3GS and broke a second screen. One word of advice... always use a case! Let's recap some of the more prominent rumors, and what I believe the new phone will be.

For starters, I highly doubt a new design will be introduced. My prediction is the phone will still be the iPhone 4 type design, but may possibly sport a larger screen (not by much). It's pretty universally accepted the new iPhone will have the A5 chip, which will greatly improve performance all around. Another, more recent rumor, that's gained a lot of fuel and get's me stoked is a 64GB model. I would be in love if this was true. Next, the rear facing camera will be 8MP and the front camera will be improved as well. Longer battery life will surely be an addition. Rumors also speculate the new iPhone will come with 1GB of RAM, which is a lot for a phone (which are just tiny computers nowadays anyway).

This mostly sums up the big new features the new iPhone will consist of. Also, don't forget it will come loaded with the new iOS 5. Just thinking about this new iPhone gets me excited to own it. I can't wait for October 14th (rumored/projected day of release). I WILL be camping out to buy the iPhone, and I will post pictures and more about the experience.

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!
