CES 2011 had barely come to an end when a massive amount of iPhone 5 rumors appeared last month. While the exact iPhone 5 release date has yet to leak out, it looks like Apple has scheduled a "Corporate Meeting" for June 5 through 9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. AppleInsider believes that the corporate meeting is Apple's annual Worldwide Developer Conference, but points out that one can never be too sure when it comes to Apple.

Apple unveiled the iPhone 4 on the opening day of WWDC 2010 though, which was held June 7 through 11. On January 31 last year, Steve Jobs described the iPhone 4 as an A+ update, followed by a prototype of the device being found in a bar on March 18. A leak on April 9 suggested that it would offer FaceTime and LED flash. The screen technology, processor and RAM were leaked on May 17. And then finally, Steve Jobs went on stage in Moscone Center to unveil it on June 7. Apple could potentially launch the iPhone 5 on June 5 this year.

The hottest iPhone 5 rumors to date have been related to the chipset, form factor, connectivity options as well as what iOS 5 will offer. We guess it's safe to assume that a prototype of the device will not be lost in a bar. However, while Steve Jobs described the iPhone 4 as an A+ upgrade last year, he has yet to give any description of the iPhone 5. Given the fact that he's currently on a medical leave, though keeping an eye on the decision-making, the only thing we know for certain is that he has promised exciting things for 2011.

So, what is Steve Jobs' definition of exciting things? Well, Flash and traditional input methods can be ruled out, that's for sure. In other words, you'll not see Apple release a QWERTY phone with Flash 10.1 support for mobile professionals in June. If Apple's COO Tim Cook dropped a hint about what the iPhone 5 will offer during a recent earnings call, however, it means we should expect a device that goes far in catering to the masses. Will the iPhone 5 simply aim to redefine the mass-market device as part of an iCoin effort? Only time will tell.

The iPhone 5 is still a glint in the future, and as usual Apple has said not a peep about what it’ll entail. But even with the fifth generation iPhone more than half a year away until its expected July 2011 debut, here are five reasons it’ll be worth the wait for those who love their existing iPhone but are looking forward to even more.

Sixty-four ways to like it: Apple hasn’t increased the capacity of the iPhone since 2009, so it’s not in position to push an iPhone 5 to market without a 64 GB model, and it knows it too. The iPod touch is already at 64 GB, which is embarrassing considering the iPhone is the signature product and the iPod touch is the sidekick. So those whose current 32 GB iPhones are stuffed to the gills with music, video, and apps should expect the iPhone 5 to push into 64 GB territory.
Now with 100% less stigma: iPhone 4 users are in a bizarre situation in which their antenna’s signal strength is the strongest of any iPhone model ever, and probably the best of any smartphone to ever come to market – and yet the most common question iPhone 4 users get from onlookers is “Did they fix the antenna issue yet?” Apple has done what it can to quell the imaginary iPhone antenna issue cooked up by geek pundits who were looking for revenge over the Gizmodo incident. Apple embarrassed the living snot out of them in a press conference, all the while giving iPhone 4 users free cases just to keep the imaginary problem from getting any bigger. But while Apple’s free case program succeeded in getting the concocted hype under control, it was also misinterpreted by some confused consumers as an admission that the imaginary iPhone 4 antenna problem actually existed. In other words, for the rest of the iPhone 4 era, iPhone 4 users will continue to get asked about an imaginary issue, as the stigma still exists even though the issue was never real. The arrival of the iPhone 5 will cause the confused among the masses to think that the “antenna problem” has been “fixed” by virtue of moving to a new model (yes, consumers do go that far out of their way to misunderstand every aspect of consumer technology), meaning that those iPhone 4 users who upgrade to the iPhone 5 will no longer have to put up with the antenna stigma. And for those who’ve grown exhausted due to all the continual confused harping, this alone way be worth the price of upgrading.
FacePalm to FaceTime: This may not be specific to the iPhone 5, but expect the launch of the iPhone 5 to maybe coincide with the arrival of FaceTime on mobile networks. It’s not a given, but Apple is invested enough in FaceTime (in actuality and in perception) that it can’t allow the current wifi-only limitations to continue for much longer or FaceTime will instead be referred to as “FacePalm” thanks to the fact that you can rarely use it outside your own home. Apple will be able to lean on the iPhone’s carrier(s) for certain concessions during the usual give and take, so bet on Apple at least pushing for this one.
Thin is in again: Each of the three iPhone bodies (original, 3G/3GS, 4) has been thinner than the last. With Apple’s obsession for svelteness never ending across all its product lines, expect Apple to already be deep into figuring out how to further miniaturize the iPhone’s internal components so the iPhone 5 can be the thinnest yet.
Surprise!: Each iPhone generation has brought with it one left field surprise feature that no one could have seen coming. The iPhone 5 will do the same. There’s no point in even trying to guess, as the surprise feature has never been guessable. But don’t let us stop you from trying in to between now and July.
…and for those who don’t feel like waiting, no worries. Here are the top five reasons why you shouldn’t wait:
Release date: the iPhone 5 doesn’t have one. Apple’s iPhone history reveals there to have been a new iPhone released every summer since 2007. But with the Verizon iPhone 4 having landed in midseason and the 4G prospects in 2011 for both Verizon and AT&T still up in the air, there’s no guarantee Apple will deliver the iPhone 5 as soon as its own history says it will.
Network: speaking of 4G, there’s no guarantee the iPhone 5 will have it. If the fifth generation iPhone does roll in early summer, Apple may decide that there just isn’t a wide enough 4G network available yet to make it worth the trouble and requisite confusion.
White: so you’re an iPhone 3GS user and you skipped the iPhone 4 because it didn’t ship in white, and now you’re waiting for the iPhone 5 because you think it’ll come in white from day one. You may be right, but you’re just guessing. For all the needless trouble the white model has caused Apple, particularly with the black model having always been the more popular of the two even when white was available (so says Apple), the white iPhone may have died entirely.
Reception: if you’re waiting for the iPhone 5 because you’re hoping it won’t suffer from the same “antenna issue” that the iPhone 4 did, you’re barking up the wrong tree. There is no iPhone 4 antenna issue and never was, despite fraudulent claims to the contrary from certain publications.
Carrier: Verizon and AT&T customers already have the iPhone, in the form of the iPhone 4. Sprint and T-Mobile customers aren’t guaranteed to ever get the iPhone at any point, let alone with the launch of the iPhone 5. In all cases (if you’re in the U.S. at least), your carrier either has the iPhone or may never have it. The iPhone 5 is not a magic wand as such.

iphone 5 release date will be in july 2011!

The iPhone 5 built for 4G is COMING!!!

Lots of speculation is going around on the new iPhone 5 release date... in HD !!
Verizon Wireless is currently testing a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 and 5 and Verizon confirms they are making network changes to bring the iphone to their network. The new iPhone 5 is going to be loaded with awesome new features like video chat on 3g and 4g (no longer restricted to WiFi only), face recognition and extreme downloading. (List of possible features below). Just when you think there is nothing else to come up with, more and more and more technology comes out. And it is on the rise, and not just at Apple, Inc!
This iPhone 5 will have dual core processors and higher and powerful graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions and better "still" images when taking pictures, AND it will make multi-tasking a breeze.
There are a few networks working on building a 4G network. T-mobile would be a likely carrier since they are GSM already. Sprint has a 4G network already... AT&T and Verizon Wireless are in the beginning stages. There are talks of Verizon Wireless getting iPhone sometime in 2010 but it looks like they will get it for sure in 2011 when the new iPhone 5 comes out.
Whether or not it will be 4G will be up to them!... can they build in time? They will definitely have the 3G version of iPhone, but with the new iPhone 5 (4g speeds) coming out, will they compete?! Regardless, there is much anticipation on how many people will leave AT&T for Verizon Wireless because of AT&T's lagging on app restrictions like Slingplayer and Google Voice and Skype (on 4g network, not Wi-Fi).
AT&T's restrictions have caused the percentage of people that are JailBreaking their iPhones to rise since Jail Breaking usually comes with Cydia which is the app store for jail broken phones. Most of the applications, ringtones, and even iphone themes!...are free with Cydia. Winterboard is part of the download, and it very easily add's the changes to your phone so you dont have to figure how to do it on your own...it is VERY automated.
The Palm Pre on Sprint and HTC EVO (Sprint now offering a 4G network) has made an attempt at being competitive with iPhone and Blackberry...and it seems they are making head way, although with the iPhone 4 released and the iPhone 5 on the way, they are sure to lose. Oh ya, the Blackberry Torch? = Nice try... but that browser is NOT full HTML.
iPhone 5 looks promising in terms of being sleek, packed with new hardware and finally less restrictions. Very exciting.
A few features of iPhone 5:
Thinner! With shiny glass back piece - 9.3 mm thick.
Face Recognition Security
Face Time (Video Chat) access on 3G AND 4G (available currently but only on 3G)
Custom SMS tones
Custom E-mail alerts with ability to assign different tones to each email address
A new, sleeker body design.
OLED screen.
Scratch proof and shatter proof screen
Wireless sync with iTunes
32G (basic) and 64G of memory. You're sure to never run out.
Extended battery life = 14 hours talk time on 3G and 7 hours on 4G. Standby 600 hours.
Hi Definition audio.
Messaging indicator light.
True GPS built in.
