5 Reasons to Buy iPhone 5
The fifth generation iPhone will make its debut in late summer this year. Since the rumors leaking out regarding the iPhone 5, there has been a bit controversy regarding network providers and if AT&T customers would switch to Verizon.
Regardless of the provider, Apple sure knows what’s in store for the newest and greatest iPhone. The iPhone 5 is going to be fully equipped with amazing new features such as face recognition security, dual core processor, sleeker body design and extended battery life.
Below is a deeper look into the (rumored) features of iPhone 5, and why you’re going to want one.
1. Video Chat From Anywhere
Currently due to the restrictions associated with the WIFI-only limitations, FaceTime will soon be available outside of the home. Therefore, with the 4G network, video chat will become accessible anywhere, anytime with the iPhone 5.
2. Face Recognition Security
There has been several reports regarding Apple and the potential purchase of a Sweden-based tech firm specializing in facial recognition technologies and similar applications that are able to identify users based on their unique facial characteristics. The iPhone 5 may be utilizing facial recognition as an added security feature.
3. More Storage Space
2009 was the last time that Apple increased the capacity of the iPhone. Therefore, iPhone 5 should have at least 64 GB of memory. The iPod touch is already at a 64 GB, which is usually a step behind the iPhone.
4. Dual Core Processor
The next generation iPhone will have dual core processors along with improved graphics, making for even better delivery of high res videos and photography.
5. Extended Battery Life
iPhone 5 will have about 14 hours of talk time on 3G and about 7 hours projected on 4G with a standby of 600 hours (twice the standby time of the iPhone 4).

i want to know ASAP that should i buy iphone 4 or wait for iphone 5
That depends on you… If you like the features of the iPhone 4, buy the 4. If you’d be happier with the latest, greatest, fastest, coolest iPhone on the planet, wait to buy the iPhone 5. Simple
What about “talk to you navigation” like the Droid has for their navigation app that comes with it? That would be nice. The google map navigator is great but it really should be talking to you outloud so you dont have to pick up your phone and possibly CRASH your car! As a mom this would be a great feature. Or do you know of a great app that I dont know about that works with my Verizon IPhone 4?
BTW I love your blog!
Hi Kathleen – No, I don’t know of a GPS app that talks to you. There must be one out there by now. Hopefully, someone will throw out a suggestion.
I have a refurbished iPhone 3GS. My screen is so messed up its not even funny..
.. Hurry up September and get here already lol.
Anyways I can’t wait for the iPhone 5. I’ve had a few calls saying I can get an upgrade but Im so waiting for the iPhone 5
Kathleen,
You can try the mapquest app on iPhone which gives voice directions. It’s not the best thing but it works just fine.
Twice the standby time of the iphone 4? Where are you getting your information. All of the leaks regarding batteries have indicated a very similiar battery to the iphone 4. If the 5 has a larger screen (seems likely) even if there are substantial improvements to efficiency elsewhere it seems highly unlikely the battery life could improve nearly that much.
Is AT&T going to be one of the provider for the iphone 5
Hi Karen – I’m assuming AT&T will still carry the new iPhone 5. I have a hunch the iPhone 5 will be available on Sprint too. We’ll see.
Kathleen,
Motion x GPS Drive works very well. only 99 cents.
