The next iPhone

There have been loads of rumours and speculations about the next iPhone, the iPhone 4S or the iPhone 5. The usual leaks, losing the prototype at a bar. It was pretty routine.


So, what exactly do we know about the next iPhone? Well, for starters, it's supposed to be a bit larger than Apple's current offerings. Large in terms of length and breadth but not in thickness, mind you. The iPhone5 (Yupp, that's what I've chosen to call it!) is supposed to be thinner than the current iPhone4. This would seem kind of obvious as it's direct competitor, the Samsung Galaxy SII, is remarkably thin and light, while similtaneously offering loads of power.

Display, Camera and the Processor

The iPhone5 is said to have an edge to edge screen, which would be pretty epic, an 8 megapixel camera manufactured by Sony themselves, definitely a faster processor, and hopefully, a better front facing camera.

Storage

The next iPhone won't have any memory upgrades. It will be available in regular 16GB and 32GB models.

OS

iPhone 5 is going to be loaded with Apple's much awaited version of it's mobile operating system, iOS5! iOS5 has everything(almost) that won would need to make everyday usage much easier.

Battery and Carrier

iPhone5 is said to have pretty much the same battery as it's predecessor, the iPhone4.

The iPhone5 is supposedly going to be available on Sprint too, as suggested by their blackout between the end of September and the first week of October, suggesting that Apple might launch the next iPhone in this period.

Two devices?

Rumours that spread around are hinting that Apple might release two iPhones during October, one of them being a cheaper 8GB version of the iPhone4 and the next being the iPhone5.

So if you were planning on buying an iPhone now, I suggest you wait, because even if you don't like the iPhone5, prices of the iPhone4 will drop down when the iPhone5 is launched.

The only thing I'm hoping for now, is that Steve Jobs manages to get back to good health and launches this iPhone himself!
