iPhone 5 or iPhone 5G

iPhone 5 Repair – Coming Soon!

iPhone 5 or iPhone 5G is Apple’s fifth-generation iPhone. Many rumors are out there about what new and improved features the i5 (as I like to call it) has.  I’ve heard through the rumor mill everything from RFID enabled making your iPhone 5 a credit card another rumor that is gaining steam is entirely new operating system (iOS-5) but the wildest rumor has to be that the iPhone 5 will be transparent or casing will be clear.

Right now, the device is being tested discreetly by senior staff at Apple (strictly on campus only). We don’t have much info on the phone at this point, but our understanding is that the new device will be a total rethink from a design standpoint and will be running atop Apple’s new A5 CPU (a Cortex A9-based, multi-core chip). This device, like the iPad 2, will feature a Qualcomm chipset that does triple duty as the CDMA / GSM / UMTS baseband processor — from what we hear there’s no LTE in the mix at this point.

Over the weekend, the Chinese-language Economic Daily News reported that Apple had selected a handful of new companies as component builders for the iPhone 5, including Foxconn Electronics and Foxlink. By shifting their manufacturing to Taiwanese and Chinese vendors, in theory, Apple could lower its iPhone fabrication costs.
