iPhone 5

Honestly i've been putting off talking about the iPhone because at this moment in time it's just speculation. Basically nothing really can be confirmed at all, it's just cases for a supposebly iPhone 5 and then there's back covers that will replace the glass back we are fond of with the iPhone 4 and 4S.

If i'm going to do a tech blog, i've got to cover rumours as well, it's one of the nessessitys that drives tech news forward and it keeps us guessing of what it could be next. Sure there's cases that completely disagree wiht the previous cases that came out but it's fondamentualwhat drives it forward.

I'll just head into the basics, The iPhone 5 may or may not feature a mettacial back, It's hard to say about this rumour since tech bloggers and news sites have featured this picture over and over again rom discovered agnles, enviroments and to a video of someone hlding the case ffrom the factory in china. Apple might be bringing out protostypes and giving them to the workers so they can through people off track. This wasn't the case for the redesign of the iPhone 4 when gizmodo got his hands on an iPhone 4 months before it was released and it was said to be stolen from a coffee shop in cupertino.

I think the biggest rumors that the iPhone 5 has is the screen size. every generation of iPhone and Ipod touch has had a 3.5inch screen. Look at other phones such as the galaxy note, galaxy s3 and HTC one x. These phones have shown that people want to view their content more easier and have it presented to them without pinching to zoom. With the galaxy note, it's got a 5.3inch screen and this is just one example why phones these days have a high demand. Sure the screen is big for a phone but you can say that when moving from an iPhone to a galaxy s3, you find the screen to be big but in the long run, people want a more viewing experience.

I've talked about this before in one of my previous blogs and it was about the applications that have been fixed to the retina display and now with the iPhone 5 getting a bigger screen, what will this mean to the apps that haven't been optimized to the 4inch display or 4.1inch or whatever inch apple decides on. It will cause many apps to become stretched unless apple finds a way of keeping the same user interface and pushing the status bar and toggle UI to the edge of the screen so users will have more content on screen without the need of writing the code again for the iPhone 5. i'm just assuming here but this will not work for games, Twitter UI and a game UI is set out very differently. It's basically a different type of coding and the stretching of the app won't look nice on the iPhone 5.

One last note - The iPhone 4s has been knocked off to 4th place in the top selling phone. at the moment it's been beaten by the galaxy S3, the HTC onc X and the galaxy Nexus. yes the galaxy nexus that went on sale, last year. with the edition of jelly bean it's made people realise what a great phone it is and since it's not brand new they got it for almost a third of the price.

Thanks for reading :)
