OFFICIAL iPhone 5 speculation thread - keep all discussion here!

The device pictured could have a unibody. Apple could have simply used a bonded paint on each ends of the metal back, so the phone would have more "style" than a plain metal back. If the colored pieces on the metal back were glass, it would be incredibly stupid. It's just another point of failure. I think Apple is smart enough to know that having a pure metal back with colored accents would benefit the longevity of the device. It would also feel odd in the hand if the bottom and top pieces were glass and the center of the back would be metal. Just my 2 cents.

Quite possible. Tech companies always have several generations ahead. I am sure iPhone 4 was in the works when 3G was released. It's common.

I agree a bunch of websites say he mapped out his products several years in advanced which doesn't surprise me.

October was highly expected and rumored to bring the next iPhone 5 and the device could well be accompanied by a smaller iPad 'mini'......

I'm curious ever-elusive Ipad mini!

Err...the iPhone 5's been out for what, over half a year? Presumably this is about the 6 lol

[Adyhooper]

I have heard the new release of iphone(iphone5) will be held at the last quarter of the year ? Rumor is also that iphone 5 is recruiting its features to give tough competition to Samsung Galaxy S3.

From their posteriors.

There's been no talk of holography from credible sources, and no good reason for it to show up. Apple will have its plate full adding LTE (presumably), a bigger screen, a faster processor and a slimmer build. That's also assuming there aren't any other hardware tricks we aren't aware of.

I just keep hearing that it will have a hologram keyboard that can shine on the table or something.

More iPhone 5 speculation for you all...... If this is true, then it sounds like a major overhaul is in the works.

Do u guys think the next iPhone will be able to use tmobile's 3G network?

[n2jtx]

The way things are going, T-Mobile will have refarmed their 1900MHz service for 3G long before Apple supports 3G on 1700MHz. The sad thing is, the Qualcomm chipset in the iPhone 4S is capable of 1700MHz operation per the spec sheets but Apple has intentionally disabled it.

With last year's disappointment of the iPhone upgrade, what will it take for you to buy an iPhone 5?
