Mobile Phone Lover

Rumor hints that the upcoming Apple iphone 5 will not support mobile payments through NFC (Near Field Communication Technology), even though this service is very popular and also added to the Android operating system recently. The British media said that Apple has revealed the next generation iPhone will not support Near Field Communication Technology according to a local mobile operator.

Here is the source from The Independent:

Sources at several of the largest mobile operators in the UK revealed Apple had disclosed in meetings that it would not be including Near Field Communication (NFC) technology – which enables payment for products with a wave of your phone on a reader – in the latest version of the iPhone, be it the iPhone 4GS or the iPhone 5.

One source close to the discussions said: “The new iPhone will not have NFC, Apple told the operators it was concerned by the lack of a clear standard across the industry.” Yet Apple is understood to be working on its own NFC proposition, which would link payments through iTunes. It hopes to introduce the technology in a handset likely to be released next year.

As we know, the recent released Apple iPad 2 also doesn’t support the Near Field Communication Technology. Apple insiders said that the next generation iPhone won’t support NFC too, because Apple told the operators that there is no any specific standard in this industry.

However, someone guess that Apple is developing NFC payment platform based on iTunes. The platform will compete with some services in mobile operators’ planning. And these operators will cooperate with banks to deploy some necessary hardware in retailers and tourist attractions.

The analyst Carolina Milanesi from Gartner said that NFC has been discussed for several years by Nokia but still no any results. Now Google and Apple started to discuss it, NFC will come soon. However, in early of this year all mainstream mobile operators promised that they would launch the NFC commercial service. And now GSM Association is developing the essential verification and testing standards to make sure the intercommunity of NFC in global.

With the expectation of Apple’s new patent, the improved cell phone battery life and upgraded hardware with dual-core CPU, iphone 5’s anticipation become very high. Now, iPhone 5’s rumor is roundup! It is said that iPhone 5 may have larger screen, better camera and physical keyboard. Let’s see the details about the rumored iPhone 5 below:

Larger screen:

The bulk of this iPhone 5-related gossip comes from a Taiwanese blog with a high rate of accuracy on previous Apple leaks, the screen-size rumor comes from DigiTimes. What’s more, According to the previous rumors, iPhone 5 may have a 4-inch “edge-to-edge” screen. With so many of the new Android smartphones having more generous screens than iPhone, some consumers including many CNET readers are hoping that the next-gen iPhone will have a larger screen.

Better Camera:

DigiTimes claimed, the company OmniVision Technologies behind iPhone 3GS’s 3.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor has won a new contract with Apple to produce millions of 5-megapixel sensors this year. This one makes sense, as the MP count (as well as storage size) is one of the most basic ways to show that the phone’s been upgraded. Even more, now iPhone 5 is rumored to have a camera between 8 megapixels (competitive with current Android phones) and 12 megapixels (blowing most current Android models out of the water and likely keeping pace with future Androids, too).

Physical Keyboard:

Some recent photos from a Chinese Website supposed iPhone 5 part surfaced, causing further speculation about the physical attributes of the fifth generation of the iPhone. The image in question puts the spotlight on a 30-pin dock connector cable (a part designated 821-1300-02 HF/c1.) that is rumored to be an integral part of the iPhone 5.

How do think about those related rumors? I suppose maybe nobody now can offer us a certain reply for those rumors, so let’s anticipate the real iPhone 5’s coming.

iphone 5’s rumor have never stopped, it was said that iPhone 5 may have slide out keyboard on several days ago, now this rumor seems has been deeply confirmed by a fairly reputable source. It claimed iPhone 5 will possibly have slide out designed keyboard.

Now, a unique 30pin cell phone accessory prototype which is specially designed for Apple’s dock connect interface has been revealed, the model is No. 821-1300-02 HF/c1. In fact, this accessory does not exist in iphone 4, and it is a slide out device, so the next generation iPhone may have slide out design. At the same time, it shows iPhone seems will have a larger screen and began to support 3D.

Perhaps many people are still waiting for iphone 4’s coming, but the rumors tells us you needn’t to wait it any more instead of iPhone’s 5 coming. Actually, the white iPhone 4’s release has get into controversy when the black iPhone 4 were out of store. Now, the newest rumor said that Apple is developing the iphone 5’s white version.

Although Apple’s official promised that the white iphone4 will be released in 2011’s spring, while the revealed operators and vendors also make us believe iPhone 4 will come soon. However, there is no white version when the recent CDMA iPhone 4 released, so many people now hold the suspicious attitude on the white iPhone 4’s coming. Apple has moved their focus on the next generation product now, so the white iPhone 4 might be completely canceled.

The white iPhone 4 may be stay in the effect drawing stage forever.

Another possibility is Apple restart the white iPhone 4’s production flow when they replace the touch screen suppliers. Then they can announce this white iPhone 4’s release date again in this spring’s conference, also it helps enhance their attention and popularity.

Meanwhile, the white version iPhone 5’s rumors begin now. According to some relevant media, Apple is focusing on developing the white version iPhone 5, and Wintek is expected to be its sole supplier. Although the rumor has not been confirmed by Wintek, at least it proves that the white iPhone 4 wouldn’t be delayed to be released.

In addition, iPad 2 also always draws much attention. According to AllThingsD, iPad 2 is likely to be released on California new product release conference on March 2, and the specific location is in the Yerba Buena Art Center, the protagonist of this conference is possibly Apple iPad 2 tablet PC.
