Old iPhone 5 Rumours

Apple Rumours: The New iPhone 5 Release Date and Price

If 2011 left you waiting for the iPhone 5, then don’t worry, we predict that 2012 is going to be a good year for you! Some of the designs below look absolutely stunning and knowing Apple, the iPhone 5 is bound to be a stunning performer as well. Even though the iPhone 5 release date wasn't announced at WWDC, rumour has it that it will some time in October 2012. We’ve rounded up some of the more credible rumours to provide you with the all-you-need-to-know guide to the new iPhone on Orange.

iPhone 5 Design

Apple is renowned for its design initiative, and as beautiful as our current Orange iPhones are, they are unlikely to release a third generation in exactly the same style. Some credible leaks recently have pointed to a similarly angular shape, with a flat front and rear like on the iPhone 4S. However, the back case appears in more than one picture to be a two tone aluminium rear casing – a move away from the glass backing on the iPhone 4S.

More excitingly, the iPhone 5 is taller than before, meaning that you can fit more apps on your homescreen without having to flick through endless pages to find the one you want. The screen would now also measure 4 inches across (rather than the 3.5 inches of the current iPhone 4S). This taller screen means that you wouldn’t have to put up with black bars at the top and bottom of your screen when you want to watch movies in widescreen. Games would also fit to this new aspect; giving you more room to have fun with the latest downloads from the App Store.

iPhone 5 Camera

After the hugely improved camera on the iPhone 4S you might be wondering how on earth Apple can make an even better one, but it seems they might just have been able to do exactly that! They might make the front facing camera fully HD (used for the FaceTime video calling technology) which would improve Skype calls as well.

Seeing as Sony make Apple’s cameras, and they recently showcased some very impressive high dynamic range (HDR) video camera sensors working on a phone, it is possible that the iPhone 5 will allow you to create stunningly rich videos and photos. If not, at the very least it will still support Instagram integration and probably improve its own built-in photo and video editing software. Plus, we can always hope for improved photo sharing through Facebook and Twitter apps so you can get your snaps and clips online and with your friends as soon as possible.

iOS 6

Apple has already given a release date for their newest and flashiest operating system, and it promises to bring huge benefits to Orange iPhone 5 users. Facebook integration has been improved hugely, as it's now built in to the phone, rather than being an app you have to download separately. It’s also integrated into the App Store meaning friends can recommend apps through facebook and you can see what everyone else is using and what is popular. This should be really useful in making managing your social life easier.

On a more practical level, it also heralds much better mapping and location services. Combined with updates to their voice control software (Siri) this should make finding a good coffee shop just that bit easier!

iPhone 5 - What's Under the Hood

Seeing that the new iPad has the Apple A5X processor, it is more than likely that the iPhone 5 will also sport this new, faster kit. Even so, it’s still possible that Apple might unveil a quad-core A6 chip to rival some of other chips on the market. Either way, they're a company famed for getting the most out of what they use, so expect this new iPhone on Orange to be pretty speedy, whether you’re surfing the web or gaming.

UK iPhone 5 Release Date

The question we all want to know the answer to is: "What is the iPhone 5 UK release date?" Asian sources have supposedly said that it will launch in either late September or October 2012, in line with Apple's traditional Autumn release schedule. However the fact that no release date was given at Apple World Wide Developer Conference might mean the iPhone 5 release date in the UK is more likely to be in October rather than September. We hope to bring you the iPhone 5 on Orange as soon as possible. As for the iPhone 5 price in the UK, it's likely that it will simply replace the current 4S at the same price points, although a rumoured 128GB would outstrip even the most expensive current iPhone.

So, to summarise...

Realistic iPhone 5 Rumours

• Faster processor and graphics
• New slimmer and longer design
• New 4 inch screen with 16:9 widescreen
• Metal back casing
• HDR video
• Contactless payments

The Exciting But Unlikely Stuff

• 4G support for the UK
• iPhone exclusive social platform
• Waterproofing inside

REMEMBER

Apple tend to throw some curveballs – keep an eye out for the exotically named LiquidMetal that they might use to make a smooth flowing teardrop case rather than the rectangular shape shown in some of the leaked pictures above.

Whatever shape the iPhone 5 takes we can guarantee it will be one of the most exciting smartphones of the year. Register for updates on how to buy the new iPhone when it releases later this year!

If you're anything like us here at Store-Orange, you'll be eagerly awaiting information about the latest iPhone 5 from Apple!

So to keep you going until we hear some official news, we've rounded up the latest news from the iPhone 5 rumour mill, so you can get excited about the iPhone 5 on Orange.

The suspected release date for the iPhone 5 on Orange is October 2011, based on previous iPhone release behaviour and leaked documents from Best Buy USA. The document suggests that the iPhone 5 will be available on the 21st October direct from Best Buy. Previous iPhone launches would lead us to believe that the iPhone 5 will launch across retailers at the same time, so October 21st is a good bet.

Latest News on the Release Date: Orange France's CEO Stephane Richard has suggested a release date of October 15th for the iPhone 5 on Orange. This has not been confirmed by Apple.

Japanese site Macotakara suggests production on the iPhone 5 has commenced as of the 5th September 2011, so this gives weight to a suspected launch at the end of September/early October. We can expect the retail date to be sometime after.

Latest update: Apple have confirmed an iPhone announcement for the 4th October entitled "Let's Talk iPhone".

iPhone 5 on Orange: What We Think We Know...

The iPhone 5 will most likely launch running iOS 5, the latest Apple operating system for its mobile devices. iOS 5 will make the iPhone 5 completely independent from your computer if you want it to be! You'll also get iMessage - an instant messaging service allowing you to instantly chat online to your friends with iOS 5 devices! iOS 5 places a camera button on your lock-screen, and an easy way to take pictures using the iPhone 5's volume rocker. There's a whole lot more features included in iOS 5 for you to check out - and we're pretty sure all of them will appear on the iPhone 5!

Rumoured Specifications:

LTE - whilst not strictly relevant to the iPhone 5 on Orange, The Register are reporting that the iPhone 5 will also come in an LTE variety, ready for the USA networks. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution, and is 4G technology. The UK does not have 4G networks in place at this time, so we will not see this particular feature on the Orange iPhone 5.

Faster Processor - It is almost certain that the iPhone 5 will sport an all-round upgrade compared to the iPhone 4 - including rumoured better cameras and more impressive HD video recording. One of the more concrete rumours is that the iPhone 5 will sport an A5 dual-core ARM processor. As this is already in use in the iPad 2, we think you'll see the same thing on the iPhone 5.

NFC - it has been widely reported that the iPhone 5 could double as a digital wallet, supporting Near-Field Commmunication technology (NFC) to allow you to pay for items by swiping your phone across a reader. A leaked screenshot showing an "e-wallet" app visible on the iPhone 5 homescreen makes it seem that this rumour is quite likely. However, The Independent have cited sources that refute this rumour, so we may not see NFC on the iPhone 5 on Orange.

Screen - Most compelling about previous generation iPhones have been their groundbreaking design. We expect nothing less from the iPhone 5, and if the rumours are to be believed, Apple have got a few more cool tricks up their sleeves.
Aside from screen size (rumoured to be 4 inches) and screen resolution (hopefully even better than the iPhone 4), the iPhone 5 looks set to have touch-sensitive buttons and indicators populated around the screen: a true shake-up in Apple's design. We can't wait to see it!

Antenna - One pretty cool rumour suggests not only that the iPhone 5 will have a sleek metal backing, but that the actual antenna for the iPhone 5 will be contained within the Apple logo itself! Considering the problems that Apple faced regarding signal when the iPhone 4 launched, we reckon Apple are sure to have paid special attention to the antenna on the iPhone 5!

iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S?

Rumours reported in the early part of this year made the suggestion that the iPhone 5 will in fact be known as the 4S. This followed spectulation by respected industry analysts that the new iPhone would not sport a significantly new redesign. However, general consensus at this stage in the day is that "iPhone 5" is far more likely, especially in light of the imminent release of iOS 5.

Two New iPhones?

Some rumours suggest that Apple are aiming to target the mid-range of the smartphone market, in addition to dominating the top end. Suggestions surround a stripped-down iPhone, with a more limited range of features to make it available at an intermediate price point. We now have more concrete evidence of the iPhone 4S direct from Apple! And one member of Apple's Board of Directors suggested that two iPhones will indeed be announced on Tuesday 4th October! So we can only hope that a budget iPhone 4S is coming to Orange!
