iPhone 5 Features

There are a lot of rumours and predictions circulating the internet at the moment regarding the iPhone 5 features, design and specification so this article is here to summarise the most reliable iPhone 5grumours and predictions for you.

· iPhone 5to use ‘A8 Processor’

According to the latest rumours the new iPhone 5will feature a Qualcomm ‘A8 Processor’. Apple currently use a custom Apple A4 SoC in the iPad and iPhone4 with SGX535 graphics support. The new rumours are leading us to believe that the iPhone 5G will also have upgraded SGX543 graphics meaning a huge leap in video playback as it should be able to support 1080p video playback and possibly HDMI output, bringing a whole new level of quality to games and videos on the iPhone 5G

· IPhone 5 Camera improvements suggested by patents

The current iPhone 4 features a 5mp Camera with 720p video recording, however after new patents have been filed it seems certain that Apple will be significantly increasing the quality of the camera in the iPhone 5model. 2 of the new patents relate to reducing the amount of blur on photos and also improving skin tones which essentially means photos taken on the iPhone 5will be crisper and more natural. The third patent is to do with Chroma noise which is the noise we see when photos are taken in low light, this is going to be the biggest upgrade to the camera and will make photos look a lot better when taken in low light.

· IPhone 5 to support NFC

Near field communication was first trialled in 2008 by o2 and was a success, we now see the latest Android update including NFC so it would be in Apple’s best interests to include this in their next iPhone model. I think it really comes down to if Apple are happy with how developed the technology is before they implement it, they have already filed patents regarding to NFC in the iPhone so it really it just a matter of time
