We’re just weeks away from the announcement of the new Apple iPhone 5, according to an Apple employee who asked not to be named because he was not allowed to speak publicly for the company.
As all Apple fans get excited for the release of the iPhone 5, we can’t help ask ourselves when is its going to be available here in the UK. Well, if the Apple employee we talked whose name can’t be mentioned told us was true, then we are in for an iPhone 5 launch on the 15th of October. This is actually contrary to our first prediction that the iPhone 5 launch will be on the first week of October. This certainly boosts the chatter flying around the as to when the iPhone 5 will be released.
iPhone 5 Rumored Specs
Another thing that is intriguing potential iPhone 5 buyers is how the new smart phone is going to look, feel and perform. People are wondering about what the iPhone 5 specs will be. Well, we have also asked our Apple employee whose name cannot be mentioned about this and here’s what he graciously told iPhone 5 UK.
8 megapixel Camera
The new iPhone’s camera will be supplied by Sony and will be a lot better compared to the iPhone 4’s 5mp camera.
A5 dual-core Processor
According to our insider, the iPhone 5 will be sporting a faster, much more reliable A5 processor. This is the same processor powering the iPad 2. This will be Apple’s answer to the competitors’ faster smart phone processors.
Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology
Our source revealed that a Qualcomm chip will be included in the iPhone 5 that has NFC capabilities. This would allow users to use the iPhone 5 to make payments by simply waving the iPhone near an NFC reader. This is very similar to swiping your card over a terminal. If this pushes true, people will be able to use their mobile phone to make payments.
Black and White Options
Its seems that they are hearing their customers’ requests and are now going to give us the option to buy a white iPhone 5 instead of only black models of the previous models.
These are just some of the privileged information we were able to get our hands on regarding possible iPhone 5 specs. Stay tuned as we will be posting the latest iPhone 5 news as soon as we get our hands on them!
