Some of the latest iPhone 5 release date rumors and news has revealed a new concept design for the upcoming Apple iOS 6 smartphone, complete with possible features and specs. Apple fans are excited about the upcoming new iPhone launch, though it is not known when exactly that will take place.

A recent article shows a concept design video showing off a projector and keyboard, and hints at the idea of the handset making an appearance at the WWDC in June.

There is already an Android smartphone on the market with a built-in projector—the Samsung Galaxy Beam—but if these rumors are true then the iPhone 5 release date will be the first time an Apple smartphone will have this feature.

Additional rumors say the next iPhone may have a laser keyboard, a technology that has been around for a while, but may be well-received by “people who don’t like the onscreen keyboard because they find it difficult to use.”

What do you think of these iPhone 5 release date and features rumors? would you have a use for a laser keyboard and projector on the 6th generation Apple gadget?

iPhone 5 Release Date Rumors and News: Concept Design and Features Update for Apple Smartphone

Posted: May 21, 2012

A new iPhone 5 rumor suggests the forthcoming smartphone will rock a 4-inch screen, as Apple attempts to stay ahead of its Android rivals.

Heavyweights such as the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Reuters have all focused on the speculation about a 4-inch display, lending the rumors some extra credence.

And in a way, it makes perfect sense. throughout its evolution, the iPhone has always stuck to a 3.5-inch screen – even when other smartphone makers were increasingly designing phones with screens measuring over 5 inches (the Samsung Note is one of the biggest, with a 5.3-inch display).

Yet a Tokyo correspondent for Reuters reports that LG, Sharp and a new firm, Japan Display, will combine forces to produce the 4-inch screens for iPhone 5 from next month. That, suggest several pundits, could allow Apple to start production in August, ready for an iPhone 5 launch in October – October being a popular month for Apple launches.

So far, Apple’s response to having a smaller screen than many of its rivals has been typically impressive, with some thoughtful interface design maximising the 3.5-inch display. yet with a run of 4.5-inch-plus Androids now flooding the market, the company may have to expland, literally.

Is a 4-inch display too big? Personally, I think it’s at the outer edges of what is acceptable for a smartphone – I always found the Samsung Note a tad large to smoothly transfer from hand to pocket. beyond 4.5 inches, I’d prefer a tablet. what say you, readers? Let us know in the comments.

iPhone 5 Rumor: New Smartphone To Have 4-Inch Display

London, (Pal Telegraph) – Everybody knows that the smartphone of the moment is the Samsung Galaxy S3 (S III) and it looks bound to be a smash hit for Samsung. Due to be released at the end of May for the UK and Europe and in the summer for the US, some of its main competition will come from Apple’s iPhone 4S. Today we want to look at the iPhone 4S vs. the Samsung Galaxy S3 and also give readers a review roundup.

the Galaxy S3 has some very decent specs and features and first impressions seemed quite impressive although since then we’ve noted a rather mixed reception. We’ll give you some idea of the key specs and features of the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 4S before moving on to what the reviews had to say. We’ve already given readers official specs of the Galaxy S3 but brief highlights include an Exynos quad-core processor for the international variant, with the US version possibly dual-core to enable LTE.

other notable specs for the Galaxy S3 include a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display with 1280 x 720 resolution (309ppi), 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p HD video capture, a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 16/32GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, NFC support and running Android 4.0 ICS skinned with TouchWiz. There’s also a 2100mAh battery, which sounds impressive but of course given the large screen and quad-core processor it has a lot to power. we can’t judge the battery performance yet though so we’ll reserve judgement on that for now. If you want to see more on the Galaxy S3 then check out the video below our story showing a hands-on look. the Galaxy S3 certainly has a lot to recommend it then and for those who favor the Android OS this is an obvious choice of new smartphone. There are others though who would consider Apple’s iOS platform and might be thinking of the current iPhone 4S and Tech Digest has compared the two. the iPhone 4S by comparison has a 3.5-inch IPS TFT LCD display with Apple’s infamous Retina Display and resolution of 960 x 640 offering 326ppi. Both the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 4S have excellent displays then and your choice between the two may simply depend on screen size. the processor for the iPhone 4S is an 800MHz dual-core A5 chip, which though it may sound dated offers speedy and smooth performance. Compared to the quad-core of the Galaxy S3 though (in some regions), some may feel this is one up to Samsung. the iPhone 4S also comes in three storage options, 16, 32 and 64GB but has no expandable memory. It also has an 8-megapixel rear camera with 1080p video recording capability and a front-facing VGA camera while its lithium-ion battery offers around 8 hours of 3G talk time, 6 hours of 3G browsing and 9 hours of Wi-Fi browsing. the iPhone 4S runs on the latest Apple iOS and as we said earlier, operation systems alone may be the main factor for some as many people have a clear preference between Android and iOS. Both platforms offer a huge variety of apps from either Apple’s App Store or the Google Play store. the iPhone 4S features the popular Siri voice recognition software and Samsung has brought its own S Voice to the Galaxy S3. Another point to remember is that the Galaxy S3 for the US will feature LTE connectivity but that doesn’t exist on the iPhone 4S (though may come to the iPhone 5). Another thing to take into account is the design of the phones and although some people have not exactly been blown away by the look of the Galaxy S3 and it’s plasticky feel, others were not impressed when the iPhone 4S came out last year with the same design as its predecessor. we cannot compare pricing yet on these two smartphones as no pricing has been announced yet for the Galaxy S3. Ultimately both phones are very decent smartphones indeed although some of the specs of the iPhone 4S are beginning to look a little dated. Of course we should remember though that the iPhone 5 may not be too much further away and it will be certainly be interesting to compare the Galaxy S3 and the next iPhone when it appears. for now though personal preference will play a big part in how you choose between the Galaxy S3 or the iPhone 4S. now we’ll move on to our look at some of the reviews so far for the Galaxy S3. Firstly PC World looks at the Galaxy S3 against the iPhone 4S and HTC one X. It points to the advantage of the microSD slot for the Galaxy S3 and its huge display and slimness at only 0.34inches compared to the iPhone 4S, which measures 0.37-inches thick. this review sums up by saying that although the camera for the Galaxy S3 isn’t a major step up, the processor and LTE connectivity more than make up for it. Another review, this time on Wired, explains a lot about the software of the Galaxy S3 rather than hardware so this is a good review to check out if you want more on that. It delves into the facial recognition feature, Smart Stay, Direct Call, Pop Up Play and S Voice and the phone’s aesthetic touches. Next we looked at a review from Computerworld, consisting of a hugely comprehensive Q & a. one of the questions asks if the Galaxy S3 is better than other phones to which the response is that there is no one ‘right’ choice and that it comes down to what the individual wants. Although the Galaxy S3 is described as a “compelling choice” it’s also stated, “There’s nothing about the Galaxy S III that makes other recent high-end devices look inherently worse or outdated in comparison.” In our final look we came across an article on PC & Tech Authority that asks if Samsung’s innovation is outpacing Apple’s. this points to the rich catalog of Apple iOS apps and the aluminum and glass of the iPhone 4S design making it feel more “grown up” than other plastic designs. However it goes on to say that Samsung has obviously listened to its customers to come up with the intuitive experience and larger screen offered by the Galaxy S3 and refers to Apple as “caught napping.” We’d be really interested to hear from readers with thoughts on these two flagship smartphones. taking into account our comparison and review roundup, have you a definite preference for one over the other? Maybe you’re going to wait to see what the iPhone 5 has to offer before you decide? You may feel that the Galaxy S3 wasn’t everything it could be, or alternatively feel that Apple has indeed been ‘caught napping?’ let us know with your comments.

The iPhone 4S: An Outside Perspective of Its Features

Most smartphone makers try to promote their devices by drawing everybody’s attention to the powerful specs and features. but the truth is – you can’t really surprise anyone with powerful features today – almost all high-end phones have them. and besides, some people are just looking for a phone that is cool and beautifully designed.so which are the most well-designed smartphones on the current market? Let’s try to find out!1. Apple iPhone 4S – ClassicsWe have chosen the iPhone 4S simply as a representation for how the Apple way of …

Top 5 Smartphones With Best Design

Apple’s most current smartphone is the iPhone 4S. To date, it is the most powerful iOS-powered smartphone the Cupertino firm has to offer. it comes with a 3.5 inch retina display, the dual-core A5 chip, and the voice-activated virtual assistant Siri. it has all the cutting-edge features the company has to offer. since this phone is the most current, it is quite expensive. this means not all phone shoppers can afford to get the phone. If you’re fond of apps from the App Store, does this mean that you have to go over your budget just to get Apple’s latest phone? Luckily, the phone’s predecessor is still available. Although it does not come with the hardware and features on the 4S, it will still allow you to enjoy more from iOS apps.

When it comes to apps, Apple’s fourth generation smartphone comes with the same retina display as its successor. it comes with a 3.5 inch retina display sporting a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels. With a pixel density of 330 ppi, you still get the most pixel density among all smartphones in the market. furthermore, apps for the platform are optimized for this screen size. this means that you will get the most out of games, tools, eBooks, and other applications.

The iPhone 4 may not come with a dual-core processor like the 4S. however, it will still allow you to enjoy the best apps from the App Store. True, there are games that will run better with a dual-core processor. however, its A4 single-core chip will do just fine. currently, arguably the best game in across platforms is angry Birds. this game does not require users to have powerful processing power for them to enjoy. the A4 is more than capable of running intense graphics and game play. this simply means that it will be just as fun.

The iPhone 4 is also ideal for reading eBooks and other publications like digital magazines, newspapers, or articles. True, the competition offers larger touch screens such as the 4.3 inch Super AMOLED plus display on the Samsung Galaxy S2. however, since Apple’s handset sports a retina display, it offers more pixel density. this equates to crisp fonts, lifelike images, and balanced spacing. it may have a smaller screen. however, it will allow users to enjoy more from reading.

As you can see, the iPhone 4 will allow you to enjoy more apps downloaded from the Apple App Store. You no longer need to spend more on a phone that is ideal for apps.

The iPhone 4 – Still Ideal For Apps

The iPhone 5 – what might become the worlds highest selling smartphone to date

In 2011, Apple sold about 26 billion iPhone handsets in the last quarter alone. they managed to sell about 20 billion iPhone 4S handsets that created the iPhone 4S the best dealers thus far, in the history of smartphones. the Next generation iPhone is expected to duplicate that feat.

Analysts are guessing that Apple may be able to market about 50 billion iPhone 5 handsets in 2012 plus 2013. what makes this telephone so unique? Read below to perfect that iPhone elegance.

A unique demand for Apple products

Apple is a revolutionary firm that has usually put out several certainly cool plus desirable items. they can be over priced compared to common computers, phones plus equipment that provide same kind of standards although they are planets apart whenever it comes to build quality plus design. just hold an iPhone along with a Samsung telephone alongside each other and you should immediately be able to inform that the build quality, sturdiness plus luxurious feel is superb found on the iPhone, while the Samsung feels cheap plus flimsy, despite that it could provide same kind of standards because the iPhone.

The iPhone 5 is expected to receive that same kind of thick demand from the public, with people queuing about buy the next iPhone, after hiking outside Apple stores instant. People appear to want a smartphone that is both scientifically able and one that could serve because a fashion statement.

New shape factor for the fresh iPhone

The next iPhone from Apple is expected to truly have a fresh shape factor. Until now, all of the 5 decades of released iPhones look extremely same plus the public have made it obvious that they would like to see a change. Apple could be offering it for them by providing them with an iPhone with a rip drop design. a rip drop design would encourage a shape factor in the iPhone that resembles the design element found in the MacBook Air, Apples surprisingly fashionable laptop. With the rip drop design, the iPhone 5 may taper away in density thoroughly, lookin like a surprisingly special plus sophisticated smartphone.

The next iPhone is moreover expected to receive a heavier screen. Rumors are recommending that the screen might be because large because 4 inches while several business sources are saying that the screen might be as large as a four.7 inch screen. As for display resolution, Apple is expected to retain the retina display resolution found on the iPhone as it would be actually the best displays in the smartphone market. there would really be no need for Apple to enhance upon that.

Processor plus RAM

With Samsung Galaxy evidently gearing upwards for a Galaxy S3 launch with a quad core processor, Apple are expected to utilize a quad core processor in the next iPhone also. RAM is bumped to at least 1GB of RAM, with a minute chance of it even being bumped to 2GB of RAM.

The 6th generation iPhone may moreover perhaps employ a quad core images processor also.

Release date

This has been another topic of superb discussion amidst Apple consumers who may have had to endure a very long wait for the Apple iPhone 5. People really expected to buy the iPhone 5 in October of 2011 yet were unable to do so because Apple released the iPhone 4S rather than the five. Now, with Apple simply having released the iPad 3 or the New iPad, you could be confident there may be a some months of the cleaner period before Apple puts out the iPhone 5. more than likely, the next iPhone appears like it will probably be generating its first in October of 2012.

Interestingly, the October, 2012 release date may moreover help Apple pay homage to the late creator of Apple, Steve Jobs, because they may possibly release the iPhone found on the first death anniversary of Steve Jobs.

3DS Mod – Apple iPhone 5 What Can We Expect?

The Apple iPhone 4S is a smartphone which is well known for its versatility. This is thanks largely to the wide range of apps available from the AppStore. This contains many categories, meaning the phone lends itself to everything from multimedia use, to business use and everything in between. in this article I will take a closer look at one of the popular education apps available in the AppStore, called ‘Revision App’.

This app is designed for all UK levels of high school education, covering the compulsory GCSE exams, and the optional A-Levels and even university courses. Using the app is simple. you select the level or exam you wish to revise for form the main menu. from here you will be presented with a surprisingly comprehensive list of subjects. when a subject is selected, you will be presented with flash cards, asking a question based on the subject and education level you have selected. The top part of the flash car will ask the question, and below this is some red text saying ‘Tap here to see Answer’. This way you can try to answer the question yourself, and when you are ready to see if you were correct, simply tap this red text. This will display the answer for the question. when you have done this, you can move on to the next flash card and the next question. Questions are asked in sequences of ten at a time. in total, there are over half a million flash cards included with this app, which is very impressive considering the price of the app (it is completely free to download). Another handy feature of this app is that you can send and receive flash cards to your friends via email or Facebook, so you can revise with a partner and stay motivated.

If you are at any level of education, I cannot think of a good reason not to download the Revision App. If you own an iPhone 4S or any previous versions, an iPad or even an iPod Touch, you can revise wherever you are, without the need to carry any stationary around with you. Using the simple touchscreen operation of the iPhone 4S.

Aside from the Revision App, there are thousands of other apps on the education category of the AppStore. The Revision App is a good example though, as it is free, offers comprehensive subject matter, and relevant questions to the subject and education level of your choice.
