Rumors: Is iPhone 5S in the Making?

It’s hardly been few months since Apple launched its much awaited iPhone 5 and there are rumors that Apple will be working on the next version of iPhone in the first quarter of 2013. This reports surfaced on a Chinese language “Commercial Times”.


The smartphone has already be christened as iPhone 5S. The likely hood of Apple working on new iPhone is quiet high as they introduced the new iPad 4 and the Mini within 8 months of releasing their iPad3 in March 2012.


If indeed the rumors of the new iPhone are true then the specifications will be something to wonder about!



A Long Awaited New Design?
The gadget world is full of rumors that Apple has been given a patent which would allow Apple to make the phone out of a single piece of metal. This metal would be both thinner and lighter when compared to the current iPhones in the market.


A Different Screen?
If rumors are to be believed then Apple has been in touch with companies like G-Tech and Fuji Crystal for polishing curved glass which could mean that the next iPhone could have a curved screen design. The new iPhone may also have a fingerprint scanner which means that the user can use their finger print to lock or unlock the phone instead of typing out the password.


Longer Battery Life?
The iPhone has never disappointed its users with the battery life. So we are hoping that the 5S would also come with a longer battery life. But this seems highly unlikely as the phone will be powered by a faster processor and graphic chips. So we can except the battery life which is similar to the previous generations of iPhones.


 





NFC technology
Apple lost out the “Phone of the Year” title to its arch rivals, Samsung. Samsung Galaxy S III which is NFC enabled has crossed 50 million mark in the number of its units sold. Keeping in mind this we can expect Apple to bring in NFC into 5S. Before the launch of iPhone 5 everyone thought that it would come enabled with NFC.


Wireless Charging?
The latest Nokia Lumia smartphones come with the feature of wireless charging and this concept is fast catching on. So it won’t be a surprise if Apple also deicide to do the same.
