iPhone 5?

I don't know what Apple is going to announce this month, but the rumour is all about iPhone5.




I think, Apple is going to put bigger screen to iPhone 4 with a bit faster processor, a bit higher MP camera, add cloud computing with iOS5, and will show to the world as iPhone 5, and the world is going to gasp with a big 'O'. It will be sold in tens of millions even if it it cannot be used to speak to people. 


iOS5 has heavily borrowed ideas from Android (notification bar, extended sharing) and its own most popular apps (and going to kill all of them). They might give 'free sat navigation' similar to Google's free navigation. Due to cloud computing, Apple users have to heavily rely on iTunes for everything, for which Apple might start charging heavy users. 

My guess is, it might function like Android 2.3 (but not as fast as), and look like high end Android phones, but slimmer and elegant. It will be more expensive than the most expensive Android device, but still convince people to queue in front of the store to buy it.

If iPhone-5 will not come with the largest screen in the market, then they are going to tell the world 'this is the best size to fit the pocket. Any phones bigger than that are fit be called tablets. Any phones smaller than this are not fit to be called smart phones'.



Overall Android OS may be the winner. But iOS wins over Android OS in rendering Indian language fonts correctly in all their apps. Despite now in version 3.2,  Android still fails to render Indian language fonts (what we see is U25A1.gif U25A1.gif U25A1.gif U25A1.gif). 


Design and flawless smooth running, iPhone possibly beats all other hardwares in the market. 


In their recent announcement, Amazon has come out with something and proved most of the geeks wrong. I hope Apple too will bring something totally new so that the mobile technology progresses faster than the current pace.

interestingly Android phones (only samsung phones as far as i know) in India render Indian fonts. I even asked my friend to show me during a video chat. iOS has indic unicode fonts bundled with the hardware. I cannot see why android cannot do it.

Thanks Aravind for reading and taking time to comment. Apple products are not used by most of the Indians. Apple is for elite people in India. Android should seriously address this issue.
