We are just few week away from WWDC 2013 and no doubt that there are tons of rumors spreading about iPhone 5S. The competition from Android market is getting tighter, so this could be the last chance for Apple to play the best trump and come regain market.
In iPhone 5 Apple made a radical move by increasing display size. But that was not enough to compete with muscle Android phones that were recently released. Let’s go and take a look at the things Apple may do to regain their glory.
What’s on Rumor Radar about iPhone 5S?
Design
We can’t expect huge changes to design, so it will look pretty similar to iPhone 5. It could be even thinner and lighter. Most importantly it will have much thinner bezels around the display.
There are some rumors about low priced plastic version of iPhone as well. It’s not Apple’s usual style. But they might decide to go there in order to serve market competition.
Display
iPhone 5 still doesn’t even have a 720p display while many Android phones have 1080p displays. However chances for us to see a 1080p display in iPhone 5S is lesser. It might have same sized 720p display which will further increase pixel density.
There is a chance for next iPhone to come with different screen sizes. It could be a good idea to give more flexibility to consumer. But it will be a nightmare for app developers.
Processor and Storage
Usually iPhone “S” are getting slight spec bump, so we can expect the same here. Apple may increase the CPU clock speed and include better GPU, but chances for it to come with bigger RAM or storage are lesser.
Sensors
This is the most interesting part. Word is out there that iPhone 5S will come out with finger print scanner and proximity based volume controller. Apple already has patent for proximity based volume controller for mobile devices, so there is a high chance for this to become a reality.
Probably within few weeks you will get to know the exact details of iPhone 5S and iOS 7 (This is another post) in WWDC. I’ll meet you again with latest stuff.
