iPhone 5 latest news

At mobile118 we try to keep you up-to-date with all the latest news about the latest offering from Apple the iPhone 5.

Its been reported by the The Wall Street Journal that the iPhone 5 will feature a 'different form factor adopting a brand new design following the antenna issues that resulted in signal issues and dropped calls'. So in plain English it will look better and hopefully we wont see a repeat of any of the disappearing signal issues the iPhone 4 suffered. On the flip side, some leaked designs and images tell a different story suggesting that the only aesthetic change for the iPhone 5 will be a larger display.

Another rumored improvement for the iPhone 5 is an all-metal back similar to that found on the original iPhone. Again this will help with the disappearing signal issues experienced on the iPhone 4. The glass screen of the iPhone 4 was also prone to unsightly cracks if treated roughly so its rumored a tougher upgraded screen will be added.

And finally those helpful people at Apple will also make choosing your network an easier process as reports suggest that the iPhone 5 will include an integrated SIM allowing Apple to assign networks to individual handsets. Not sure how this will work when you want to sell your handset though? On the positive side users can now pick a network provider with their purchase, then Apple simply program the new device to that phone network eliminating the need for shoppers to wait for Vodafone/Orange/O2/3/Virgin to activate their handset or for the arrival of the SIM.

Release date? September 2012, but we will keep you posted on any developments...
