You’ve probably already heard this before – iPhone 4S hasn’t met our expectations (and expectations of many other bloggers for that matter), despite the success Apple and its carrier partners are experiencing as we speak. The problem is on our side – simply put, we’ve set the bar so high, and we “forgot” Apple’s way of doing things. That “way” goes like this – release a major product update one year (iPhone 3G or iPhone 4) and then (slightly) update it next year (iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4S). The iPhone 5 we wanted to see will most certainly be announced during 2012. And we want to see couple of features on board, including:
- NFC support – to enable contactless payments
- LTE – for super-fast mobile Internet
- larger screen – 3.5 inches is just not enough or at least I think so. A 4-inch screen would be much better.
In addition, we also forecast the next iPhone will rock a quad-core processor, which by that time will be a standard feature of high-end smartphones. Moreover, we wouldn’t be surprised if it gets even faster GPU to further cement Apple’s position in mobile gaming.
Now that would be the iPhone I would buy. And that’s what we hope to see in the iPhone 5…
