The iPhone 5

Technology is constantly improving and Apple is always creating new and improved products such as the iPhone.  The iPhone 4 was just recently released in the summer of 2010.  Apple is now working on a fifth iPhone that will be launched at some point during the 2011 year.  The new and improved iPhone will now support AT&T and Verizon users in the United State, which are the biggest cell phone companies nationwide.  Also, the iPhone 5 will be supporting other carries throughout the world, not just the United States.  The iPhone used to be accompanied with a chip from Infineon, but Apple now has switched to a new chip user that is called Qualcomm.  Apple will not release everything that is to be expected on the iPhone 5 but they said that the phone will be completely redesigned, which gives current iPhone users something to look forward to when they upgrade their cell phone.  Some new features may include a "mobile wallet."  Apple may start an application that uses things such as iPay, iBuy, and iCoupons.  There is also a feature called Siri.  Siri is an application that acts as a personal assistant where users can, for example, look up restaurants and see if there is a table of 5 available or not.  Also, users can look up certain events at certain locations.  For example, you could type in "what events are taking place in New York City," and the personal assistant will list the events that are taking place.  This new technology is going to be really helpful for people who have busy lives and do not have the time to sit at a computer throughout the day.  I think it is amazing and interesting to learn all of the new features and applications that Apple has to offer on their iPhones.
