(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok so here are some of the rumors that have been going around for the iphone 5 some look more true than others but i don't think any of them have been proved. Heres a compile of a lot of rumors that came from a site source will be at the bottom. - Rumors have the iPhone 5 pegged for release sometime in the summer.

- The iPhone 5 may not be called the iPhone 5. Michael Nace, writing for the site iPhone5NewsBlog once made some interesting points about Apple’s naming system. “First off, the ‘numbered’ iPhone models picked up their names primarily not by series, but by the network generation that they jived with,” he wrote. Think 3G/4G, etc.“Second, if Apple indeed intends to release the iPhone 5 (as we euphemistically call it) too quickly in the iPhone release schedule, calling it ‘the iPhone 5′ will only further highlight how close the new iPhone will be released from the iPhone 4, thus exacerbating the perception that the iPhone 5 is a ‘make-up’ model for a flawed iPhone 4,” he wrote.

- The iPhone 5 may not come with NFC technology. A report from the New York Times this week, says, “According to two people with knowledge of the inner workings of a coming iteration of the Apple iPhone — although not necessarily the next one — a chip made by Qualcomm for the phone’s processor will also include near-field communication technology, known as N.F.C. This technology enables short-range wireless communications between the phone and an N.F.C reader, and can be used to make mobile payments. It is unclear which version of an iPhone this technology would be built into.”

It would seem likely that it would in fact be in the next version, but an article from The Independent recently cited “Sources at several of the largest mobile operators in the UK” as saying that Apple said in meetings that it wouldn’t include NFC in the next version of the iPhone, based on concerns about the lack of a clear standard across the industry.

- The iPhone 5 could come to T-Mobile. Given the pending merger of AT&T and T-Mobile USA, it doesn’t seem to far-fetched that the iPhone 5 will come to T-Mobile, even if it is released for AT&T and Verizon first.

- Recent rumors have the iPhone 5 coming with a larger screen. As we referenced in another article, The China Times reported that trial production has begun on the next iPhone, with 4 inch screens.

- The iPhone 5 will be faster. How could this not be on the list of improvements – especially after reports of Android devices being faster? It seems fairly obvious that Apple will keep progressing in terms of speed. They did it with the iPad.

- The iPhone 5 will be thinner and lighter. Ok, this is more speculation than rumor, based on the iPad 2 release. I don’t really have any good source of information to go on with this one, but it was certainly a major improvement for the iPad line. Why not make as similar move with the iPhone?

- The iPhone 5 will have a built-in bumper. Apple certainly doesn’t want a repeat of antennagate. They’re going to have to do something to make sure that doesn’t happen. One way or another, the antenna issues will have to be resolved.

- Update: NowhereElse.fr has an interesting infographic of iPhone 5 rumors (via Business Insider)

Want to spread more rumors about the iPhone 5? Feel free to do so in the comments. Sources would be helpful.
Here are some of the ones I have heard that sound like they could be true anyway.

- The iPhone could be released later on in 2011 or even 2012, ok so I know your thinking this is bull shit no it's not. But this might be possible because from what I have heard Apple wants to use Sony's new Full HD 8.0 Megapixel camera on it and since Sony is based out of Japan and all the shit is happening in Japan then it could delay the camera which would delay the iPhone overall. Also in Apple's upcoming event they said it will be about software not hardware.

- The iPhone will have a bigger display.

Rumors that are probably not true but possible:

- Apple will produce a iPhone and a iPhone Mini or Nano.

- Apple will produce a iPhone and a iPhone Pro the Pro having a QWERTY keyboard. [/SIZE][/COLOR]

i've said this in another thread but i feel lie it bleongs here too.

My cousins emplyoer/work place is clients with apple and he gets information on their hardware because he works on iDevices, mainly iPhones and iTouches i dont think he works on nanos and whatnot. I recently talked to him about the rumors I've read about the "iPhone 5" on this site. He said that those "blue prints" are fake and that the next iPhone will not be released this year.

I don't know everything he does nor how much of what he has told me is true. He's told me things in the past and i found that they were true. But I wouldn't hole my breath on the things he says because things could change in matters of seconds.

HAPPY RUMORING
