Many thinks that the current iPhone dimension is the perfect size to fit into the size of a normal palm. The weight of the iPhone has been championed as to give the optimum feel factor. It neither too light nor too heavy. It is neither too small nor too big. But is really the ultimate size? Or is it just a matter of us getting used to it? Or is it the work of Apple's brainwash machine? One hotly articulated rumour is the thinner body that Apple is going to give the iPhone 5. With a thinner body, will the iPhone 5 form factor be as appealing as its predecessors? If rumours were true, Apple must have think so. Let's find out when it is revealed.
With Samsung leading the pack to dethrone iPhone as the smartphone king, many high end smartphone makers are coming up with bigger screen size. Samsung galaxy note is the most notable of all. Mocked by many as 'dumbed' design, the 5.3 inch Galaxy Note has proven itself to be popular in Singapore and many countries in the world. In second place is the 4.8 inch Samsung Galaxy S3 and 4.7 inch HTC One X standing side-by-side. Huawei is probably the latest notable entrants to the smartphone markets in Singapore with its 4.0 inch Huawei Honor. While bigger screen does not always means better, even many Apple fans would agree that the current 3.5 inch size of the iPhone does look obsolete compared to all these new competitors. Will Apple succumb to the competition and increase its screen size? At least many pundits are betting on it and many believe that the smallest screen that iPhone 5 will have will be 4 inch.
Through its i-devices - from iPod to iPhone to iPad, Apple has revolutionize the way software are distributed. The iTunes has now become the largest software distribution network and almost everyone is trying to duplicate it. Just look at Google Play and Amazon store. It is amazing how they have done it. That is why many industry watchers are excited at the possibility of NFC-integrated iPhone. With its stock-pile of cash and massive cult following, many believe that only Apple will be able to bring the much-needed revolution in the payment channel. Google has tried with its Google Wallet but to no avail. Will Apple do it? An NFC-integrated iPhone would definitely be a step in this direction.
For more than 5 years, Apple has kept a single universal connector for all its i-devices - iPod, iPhone and iPad. With the trend leaning towards thinner and sexier smartphones, the time for change may be here. Earlier this year, Apple has done it to their Macbook line of computers. The dock connector to the Macbooks has been made slimmer in order to make a slimmer body. Legendary for its ability to simplify complex things, many rumours are suggesting that the 30-pin connector may be cut all the way down to 8-pins. Will this prove to be true? September 12 looks to be the day that we have the answer.
