8 iPhone 5 Features and Improvement Rumors

5. iPhone 5 will have 3.7 or even 4 inch screen

Most likely rubbish, because Apple can still be very proud of the current, high-resolution Retina screen on the iPhone 4. No value in making this bigger or different at all just yet.

6. There will be an iPhone 5 Mini or even Nano

Apparently there have been rumors about a tiny iPhone for quite some time now. I really don’t know what an iPhone 5 Mini or Nano would add to Apple’s current simple line-up because you’d still have to hold the device to your ear. Who wants to be seen talking into such a small phone these days?

7. iPhone 5 will have 4G network connectivity

Perhaps. Too bad most country’s mobile networks aren’t ready at all for anything like 4G. This would be more likely for at least one later generation. Can’t wait for some better speed and connectivity though.

8. iPhone 5 will have no or Custom SIM card

It appears most carriers would be against such a development. Here’s why:

A SIM is provided by a carrier, who then activates the phone and the SIM has the client’s info on it. Should the iPhone have had a SIM, carriers were concerned that people would agree to shorter service agreements and be able to change companies easier. They were even more concerned that it would make Apple a mobile virtual network operator or MVNO.

An MVNO is a company that provides cell phone services, but has no spectrum of their own. Instead, they rent a spectrum and run it under their own name. One such company is Virgin Mobile. –Toptechreviews.net
