The Next iPhone

Let’s talk about The Next iPhone.

We’ve already told you about the September announcement, (YAY- we’re still spinning) so here’s the short and sweet lowdown about what people are expecting to expect for The Next iPhone.

The Next iPhone will almost 100% be called the iPhone 5S, rather than the iPhone 6.

Above is a photo released into the world of an apparent prototype iPhone 5S next to an iPhone 5, said to have been taken by manufacturing sources of Macrumors. If it’s not fake, then we can go ahead and say that there will not be any super giant size or design changes coming up for The Next iPhone.

The phone will more than likely be released a few weeks after the Sept 10th announcement, around the 23rd, also coinciding with the public release of iOS 7.

It will have a higher resolution camera, purportedly 12 megapixel with possible slow motion video capabilities.

It will probably have duel LED flash capabilities on the rear camera, which according to the pictures sourced by Macrumors.com, look like they’re separated for Tungsten color balance and Daylight color balance. All round better low-light, basically. This is the picture from their source in one of the manufacturing companies:

The 5S will very likely have bigger battery capacity. Yay!

It is rumored to have an A7 chip, built by either Apple themselves or by Taiwan-based chip foundry TSMC. This lets them move away from previous contract chip manufacturers and rivals, Samsung.

It might have NFC Capabilities.

It will supposedly have an updated convex home button with an integrated fingerprint sensor. The home button will be made of scratch resistant sapphire glass. Sapphire? Fancy!

It will possibly come in a third color- Gold, or champagne.

Champagne, gold, double the flash and sapphires. We can deal with that…

Not long now until we’ll know everything for sure about The Next iPhone! Until then we’ll keep you updated with all the rumors, guesstimates, financial expert statements and stolen pictures taken from manufacturing plants! Like spies! Kinda. Not really.

New iPhone Announcement!

iPhone Announcement!

<<TRUMPETS!!>>

Yesterday the announcement date of the next iPhone was revealed to the world by the good folk over at AllThingsD ( or the secret mystery sources of AllThingsD).

You guys wanna know? Yes? No?

Thought so. OH MY GOD IT’S THE 10^TH OF SEPTEMBER!

That’s only a month away!

Last year Apple announced the iPhone 5 on the 12^th September, and released the phone to pre-order customers on the 21^st September.

If Apple sticks to its previous announcement and release schedule that means that the new iPhone will be available to the public by around the 23^rd September.

ONLY A MONTH AND A LITTLE BIT AWAY!

Uh… we’re pretty excited.

Of course, Apple doesn’t have to stick to their previous schedule and can do anything they want… and there is no indication of whether this announcement will be about the rumored next generation iPhone 5S, or the also rumored cheaper model iPhone 5C… or both!

Stay tuned for a round up of rumors surrounding the release(s) so you can get just as excited as us (is it possible? We’re not sure… ) AND know how and why and what and when to upgrade to the new phone!

Excuse us, we have to go run around in circles now. Bye!
