iPhone 5 and 6 new rumored features

BANGALORE, INDIA: Apple's new iPhone 5, expected to be launched on Sept 12, will have a complete design refresh, longer screen but same retina display of iPhone 4S, suggest latest leaked images.

Here are five top rumours floted with the new leaked images of iPhone 5:

1. Aluminium back: There is no doubt that Apple needs to give its new iPHone a refreshed look to take on rival Samsung Galaxy S3. New leaked designs indicate iPhone 5 might have a metal or aluminium back case for added durability.

Even the front touchscreen is expected to be sturdier and with better scratch resistance.

2. 4 inch Screen:  New images appearing in media also indicte a a larger screen of 4-inches. So this means iPhone 5 will provide same Retina display quality as on the iPhone 4/4S. The resolution is likely to be bumped up to 1136 x 640 pixels.

The screen will also be longer, with an aspect ratio of 16:9 which is better for videos.

3.Longer Design: iPhone 5 is expected to be longer than the 4S but not wider. The design seems to be choosen as it would not affect the ease of being held in a hand. Rumors have also suggested a  slimmer and lighter iPhone 5 compaged with iPhone 4S and a better battery life. The 3.5mm headphone port is shown to be located at the bottom of the phone in the leaked pictures

4. 30-pin connector: Almost all leaked images have shown a new connectivity port on the iPhone 5. The 30-pin connector has been on iPods since launch, so Apple ditching the 30 pin port in favor of a 9 pin port is a really bid deal.

Some rumours also claim that the new port will be magnetic like the MagSafe ports on Apple MacBooks. Hopefully, Apple will also sell 9 pin to 30 pin adapters along with the iPhone 5 so that some accessories can be used with the new iPhone as well. One leak also points to evidence that Apple will announce a new iPod lineup along with new iPads - all of which will use the new 9-pin port.

5. Nano SIM card: Apple was the first use a micro-SIM with the iPhone 4 and the industry followed suit. Rumours indicate that with the iPhone 5, Apple will introduce an even smaller nano SIM. Leaked images of US carriers stocking up on nano SIMs have also recently surfaced.

6. New earphones: Apple earphones have always received flak - understandable, since they don't perform very well and have not seen any major change since the first iPhone came out. There are indications that Apple has taken note and that the iPhone 5 will come with better earphones with a vented design that will cut back on echoes in voice calls.
