iPhone 5 Release Date Is September, Coming With 4G LTE Support

The iPhone 5 release date rumors are piling up, now that the Samsung Galaxy S3 was officially unveiled and the tech press has dubbed the South Korean flagship as the real iPhone killer.

Everyone expects the iPhone 5 to revolutionize the smartphone world, after the previous Apple release, the iPhone 4S, was seen as a disappointing product. Even though the iPhone 4S received loads of negative reviews, the Cupertino-based somehow managed to persuade the customers that their smartphone is the best around and shipped millions of devices, making Apple the second biggest smartphone vendor in the world.

Besides the dual-core A5 SoC, iPhone 4S’ most interesting feature was Siri, but now that Samsung introduced a response to Apple’s virtual assistant, the Cupertino-based company is bound to come up with something to turn the public’s attention away from the Galaxy S3.

Some said that the iPhone 5 will sport a quad-core processor, but if you asked me I would call it a phantasmagoria. Apple sees no reason in fitting a quad-core chipset inside their next-generation iPhone. First up, it would be more expensive than a dual-core processor, which would lower their profits. Second, unlike its Android rival, the iOS comes with less more features, so it doesn’t need higher processing power, and a dual-core CPU would do its job perfectly. Least, but not last, the American company is sure that millions of Apple fanboys would line-up in front of their stores to get their hands on the iPhone 5, no matter what.

Another argument that backs-up the theory saying that the iPhone 5 will have a dual-core SoC is the pattern of the previous Apple releases. The giant phone maker made a habit out of fitting the iPad processors inside their unreleased iPhones. As you probably know (or not) the iPhone 4 came with the single-core A4 chipset of the first iPad, then the iPhone 4S was introduced along with the dual-core A5 SoC, a unit that debuted on the iPad 2. It is of common sense to consider that the iPhone 5 will hide the new iPad’s A5X chipset inside its unibody case.

Talking about the A5X SoC, we all know that it is a LTE-friendly processing unit and Apple would want their next iPhone to support 4G networks. Even though the 4G LTE networks are not so widespread outside of US, the North American market is very important for the Cupertino-based giant, so they will have to please the fans who got mad about the 4G lately, or else they might risk losing their customers that will switch to the Android smartphones with LTE capabilities.

We’ve all seen how the smartphones’ displays have grown over the last few years and now devices like Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X and Galaxy Nexus. all with 4.5+ inch displays, are highly appreciated by the tech publications and smartphone enthusiasts. Therefore, Apple is forced to increase the size of iPhone 5 display and reports say that the new iOS smartphone will have a 4-inch screen.
