We are almost at the end of the 1st quartile for 2011, and the technology industry has been accountable for a flurry of activity. Furthering this it would appear that Apple are preparing to turn up the heat on their competitors by following their release of the iPad 2 with a new iPhone. The rumour mill is working overtime as what the handset will feature.

A lot of technology blogs on the net have pitched the release date of the iPhone 5 as being in summer 2011, following on from Apple's previous track record of sticking to late June/earl y July rolling out times.

When it comes to the name of Apple's newest handset, it doesn't seem certain that it will be christened the iPhone 5. A number of articles have previously mentioned the likelihood of entering the lower end smartphone market with the code name 'iPhone Nano'. This does in fact seem a logical choice for Apple, in an effort to reduce the domination of cheaper Android handsets from HTC and Samsung, however lower end markets isn't something the Apple brand is normally associated with.

Other suggestions as to the form the new iPhone will take are regarding the updates in model, as with the third generation iPhone - 3G, 3GS. So we may see something like an iPhone 4GS. Without doubt Apple will be making efforts to nullify the potential release nightmares that plagued the iPhone 4 with its antenna.

Regarding the antenna, it seems as though Apple will address this problem by changing the fascia on the back of the handset. Replacing the glass back will be a metal one housing the antenna within the Apple logo.

2011 has already seen lots of updated versions of handsets being released, a number have included fresher operating systems such as Android, a bigger screen and quicker processors. Both Samsung and HTC have released phones likely to compete with Apple. The iPhone 5 will probably include a speedier dual core processor, and perhaps see a shift in screen size to around 3.7 - 4 inches. Graphics on the phone are unconfirmed in terms of full 1080p HD capacity.

NFC technology, recently released on Google's Nexus S phone, is unlikely to make it onto Apple's newest addition. So consumers won't be able to use their phone as a 'credit card'.
