iphone-5Apple is finally getting ready to unveil its new iPhone, the iPhone 5.

There isn’t much details out as of yet as to what this phone will have or not have as Apple has kept a very tight lip for this unveil slated for tomorrow – October 4, 2011.

This is what industry experts think we will see;

Design

The new iPhone is slated to be a tear shaped design with a metallic back and thinner (slimmer) body design and a larger screen.

Gizomodo.com had some pictures posted earlier, where manufacturing of the new iPhone is said to be at Foxconn’s Brazilian factory.

Operating Features

Industry experts believe that the new iPhone will have an A5 dual core processor, similar to the one found in the iPad 2 with possibly 1 Gigabyte of memory.   The on-board camera is suggested to have an eight megapixel camera.

Apple’s iOS 5

The iPhone 5 should ship with the latest Apple iOS platform, version 5.   The new iOS will include several upgrades to the existing platform including big improvements to its email and web browsing sub-systems.   We should also see better integration with the social media platforms such as Twitter, to create a better seamless user interaction.    The hyped iCloud service should be included with the new OS, to help you push all your digital content into the cloud to expand access and storage.

We will wait for October 4th to see exactly what comes out and if it meets our expectations.   Knowing Apple, they will re-invent the smart phone again and push to a new paradigm.
