If you’re resolute in your anti-Android stance, you’re probably not all that bothered by what Samsung had to show off last night. While there’s some amazing technology on show in theGalaxy S3, it won’t be a patch on the iPhone 5, right? No one outside Apple knows for sure, but if it looks like this – and with these specs – it should be golden…
Now, first off, we should say that none of this is certain. Far from it: it’s speculative stuff form iLounge’s Jeremy Horwitz. Horwitz has a track record of getting this stuff both right and wrong, and it’s opportune to present some iPhone 5 ‘specs’around the time of the Galaxy S3 launch, but even so there’s enough here that rings true.
For a start, Horwitz claims that the iPhone 5 will be hewn from both Liquidmetal (as was previously rumoured) and that part of the back will be made of a similar metal to that found on the band wrapping round the iPhone 4 and 4S. In keeping with the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5 will keep the squared-off shape, rather than adopting the tapered build of the iPad.

Even so, it’s going to shave off 2mm in thickness. Horwitz also claims that the display is going to expand. According to his insider gossip, the iPhone 5’s display will grow from a 3:2 aspect ratio to a 16:9, 4-inch one, in order to better support HD movies. This’ll happen by simply growing the length of the iPhone.
So far, so plausible. But that’s just about where the plausibility ends. Horwitz claims that Apple will use the iPhone 5 to ditch the standard pin connector that Apple’s been using since day one. We highly doubt that’ll happen. Why? Because it’ll mean that none of your chargers, docks and speakers will work with it.
We just can’t see that being the case: one of the thing’s the iPhone really has going for it is the universal abundance of these docks. To send them to the scrap heap would be a bold move indeed.
As mentioned, this is mere speculation, so take it lightly. What would you like to see in the iPhone 5? Or is it all redundant in the face of the Galaxy S3? Let us know below.
