Next iPhone will be 4S

It’s been confirmed that tomorrow (Tuesday 4th October) the iPhone 4S will be released, Apple confirmed it but they didn’t do it on purpose! Recently they released their iTunes betas and in it is a reference for the iPhone 4S. It will be released in the US but I’m not sure whether it will be released in Ireland at the same time or not. Probably not. We’re gonna have to wait for another week or two I’d say! As you can see from the picture the screen is slightly wider and the antenna is rounded instead of square. So much for a redesign.

iPhone 5

Many rumours have surfaced about the iPhone 5. Some of which are that the screen will go from edge to edge, that the home button will be capacitive and will have gestures. Like the touchpads of MacBooks and on the Magic mouse, to launch applications. Some pictures have been leaked of the capacitive touch screen of the possible iPhone 5.

 

The iPhone 5 will be running on iOS 5 which will have new software like iMessage which is the messaging equivalent of FaceTime, you will get to send free messages and pictures to other iMessage enabled devices once they are connected to WiFi (Basically its e-mail except, more restricted and most likely crap!) It will also have improved notifications which you will be able to access by sliding down the top bar, much like an Android phone.The release date has been rumoured to be in October 2011, everyone is going to want one for Christmas, including me I must say.

The iPhone has been rumoured to look something like this from evidence of the screens being manufactured in the picture above.
