The Internet has become a breeding ground for millions of brand-new malware samples every month. With names like Trojans, worms, bots or keyloggers these threats can ruin your day – or your PC. And for that matter, a single PC in the household with a virus can infect all other PCs, laptops and connected devices on the network. After all, the home PC is now the central hub of everyone’s digital life. It holds personal files, contacts, pictures and music. Maybe even the logins and passwords to your bank account.

New iPhone 5 release date, news and rumours

iPhone 5 LEAK

iPhone 5 connections

If you're a fan of your current iPhone dock, then look away now: rumours surrounding that famous Apple 30-pin connector on the base of the iPhone have flared up again, with Reuters reporting that the dock connector is getting smaller to make room for a 3.5mm headphone jack on the base of the new iPhone 5.
Some rumours are even claiming Apple will opt for a smaller 8-pin option over the current 30-pin port or rumoured 19-pin version - or a slight change to a 9-pin offering that will appear on the base of the device.
Well, it had to happen sometime didn't it?

iPhone 5 specs

Based on the roadmap of mobile chip design specialist ARM (of which Apple is a licensee), we'll see a quad-core processor debut in the new iPhone 5 - probably called the Apple A6. We've seen other quad core handsets debut in 2012, so it's not too much of a stretch to say that the new iPhone 5 will be the same.
We had expected some kind of help in terms of predicting the iPhone 5 CPU from the launch of the new iPad, but the announcement of a slightly tweaked A5X processor really didn't help things there.
According to a tip to 9to5Mac, the CPU will be the S5L8950X. Again this could be a derivative of the A5, but as 9to5Mac points out, Apple is probably working on a low-power 32nm version of the processor. As we could well have guessed, that processor will be manufactured by Samsung but designed by Apple itself.
The same report suggests 1GB of RAM, which seems right to us.
Images of a range of internal gubbins, all claiming to be parts of the iPhone 5, have made their way onto the internet - possibly revealing more about Apple's sixth generation handset.
These are interesting for a number of reasons: the battery size update is only 10mAh, which hints at not much increase in processor power, nor screen size. However, it's perfectly plausible Apple has managed to make a more efficient version of its chipset ahead of a flagship phone launch.
The antennas inside the motherboard are updated too, so once again signal performance should be enhanced... and really does make it seem likely that we'll see some sort of 4G support.

iPhone 5 will have 4G/LTE support

After the new iPad's launch brought 4G (of sorts) to an Apple device, it's widely expected that 4G will come to iPhone 5. And with many 4G handsets already announced in the US, it can't be long before the iPhone supports 4G technologies - even if there isn't a UK spectrum auction until late this year or maybe early next.
Because of the 4G fuss over the new iPad in the UK, we'd expect this to be played down in any UK handset - or the UK might get a different version to the US entirely, although this is unlikely, since Apple would rather keep the production costs down through manufacturing only one model.

Steve Jobs' iPhone 5 legacy

Many sites have reported that Steve Jobs was working hard on the iPhone 5 project, which will apparently be a "radical redesign". We shall see... but the fact the iPhone 4S was so similar to the iPhone 4 suggests that he was working on something pretty special before his death.
Check out this handy iPhone 5 video detailing the latest rumours on release date, spec and more for a quick fix of next-gen Apple fun:
The Wall Street Journal has previously reported that: "One person familiar said the fifth-generation iPhone would be a different form factor than those that are currently available… it was unclear how soon that version would be available to Verizon or other carriers."
According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with Apple's plans said Jobs "had worked closely on the redesigned phone before his death".

iPhone 5 screen size

Various sources claim the iPhone 5 will feature a larger, 4-inch screen. Digitimes quotes the source as saying that Apple is expanding the screen size "to support the tablet PC market as the vendor only has a 9.7-inch iPad in the market."
On 23 May 2011, we reported on rumours that the iPhone 5 could feature a curved glass screen. These rumours also came from Digitimes, which said that Apple has purchased between 200 and 300 special glass cutting machines because they're too costly for the manufacturers to invest in.
In March 2012, new reports suggested that the new iPhone 5 would come sporting a larger 4.6-inch retina display, while April rumours even suggested the next iPhone will use new touch technology.
During May, The Wall Street Journal cited sources as saying the device will definitely sport a 4-inch display - which seems to be the broader consensus as well - other prototypes are similar in size.
However, Apple CEO Tim Cook seemed to dampen the 'larger screen' speculation at the recent D:10 conference, saying the company has "one phone with one screen size, one resolution".
Those of you who are keen Apple watchers will, however, know that he is wrong - the currently-available 3GS does not have the same resolution as the iPhone 4 and 4S.
Whatever, it seems Sony is involved with the display and it has been making the screen since February, ramping up production from May. A larger screen will also be welcomed by developers, as Mobilebloom points out.
The consensus now is that the new iPhone 5 will sport a 4-inch screen, which is merely lengthened to enable older apps to run with black lines above and below. It will also use new in-cell technology to produce a thinner, lighter screen.
Sharp has confirmed it will start shipping displays for the next-gen iPhone in August - although it didn't reveal what size, the scoundrel, but does back up the September launch.
We've seen what looks like the front panel of the new iPhone through an online video, suggesting a larger screen, 4.06-inches in size and with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The fact that the beta version of iOS 6 has a scalable option to increase the OS to fit a 640 x 1136 resolution has added more fuel to the larger screen fire.
Which retina is the best? We compare the high-res displays on Apple's new iPad, iPhone 4S and 2012 MacBook Pro up-close:

iPhone 5 digital wallet - NFC

There's been some speculation that Apple might include Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in the iPhone 5, turning it into a credit/debit card substitute.
With the tech being inside the Google Nexus S and Samsung Galaxy Nexus, as well as a host of other top smartphones, the time for NFC may finally be here.
The two tone back of the new iPhone 5 is perfect for the NFC antenna as well - plus the fact that Passbook in iOS 6 is very similar to the likes of Google Wallet and Microsoft's Windows Phone Wallet - which both use NFC.
On 24 June 2011 it was reported that the Google Wallet mobile payment platform could feature on the new iPhone. Eric Schmidt admitted that Google is looking to port the software to other manufacturers.
And on 31 January 2012 9to5Mac claimed to have spoken with a well-connected developer who disclosed information received from Apple iOS engineers saying they are "heavily into NFC".
The developer in question has not been named, but is working on a dedicated iOS app which includes NFC reading for mobile transactions. When questioned how confident he was on the information he had received his reply was "Enough to bet the app development on".
On April 30 2012 an Apple patent filing reinforced the idea NFC in iPhone 5 - and leaked code from something purporting to be the new iPhone also contains a lot of information on NFC in the new iPhone.
Apple would be a big name to add into the NFC ranks, and would help push the technology more firmly into users' pockets. The likes of Visa and Mastercard are working hard on making contactless payments a part of every day life, and while our conversations with these companies haven't yielded concrete information, they're very hopeful Apple will be coming on board soon.

iPhone 5 camera

Sony makes the camera for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Speaking at a live Wall Street Journal event, Sony's Sir Howard Stringer was talking about the company's camera image sensor facility in Sendai, a town that was recently ravaged by the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
According to 9to5Mac, he said something along the lines of, "Our best sensor technology is built in one of the [tsunami] affected factories. Those go to Apple for their iPhones… or iPads. Isn't that something? They buy our best sensors from us."
Sources have also suggested the new iPhone could have an 8MP camera again. Indeed, Sony announced in January 2012 that it had developed new back-illuminated stacked CMOS image sensors which are smaller in size. It's also been reported that the new iPhone will have an HD front-facing camera as well.
An interesting titbit via MirrorlessRumors is that a removable iPhone back panel that would include the camera lens has been spotted in a patent document. It seems to show that the device would work either by swapping the panel, or rotating the panel to change lenses - but don't expect this to be used in the new iPhone, since Apple very much likes to keep things simple.

iPhone 5 price

If the iPhone 5 is an evolutionary step like the move from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4S then we'd expect the price to stay more or less the same, although in the UK higher VAT rates may well mean a higher price tag.
It's pretty much nailed on that the new iPhone will cost around £500 in the UK for a 16GB or 32GB model (depending on the capacity Apple whacks in there). Unless the iPhone 5 comes with some truly next generation technology, that pricing model should hold firm.
In the US, the iPhone 4S came in at $199 for the 16GB model, 32GB for $299 and 64GB for $399 on a two year deal - and the same will likely appear again, although there's a chance we'll see a 128GB capacity for an even higher price.

Will the iPhone 5 be Liquidmetal?

Apple has added a further two years onto its exclusivity deal for the Liquidmetal technology, which also includes future updates to the tech.
Liquidmetal is a metal alloy which is super strong and boasts a range of unique properties, apparently making it perfect for consumer products.
Apple has only used the technology once so far, and that was for the small SIM card tray ejector tool for the iPhone 3G. There are rumblings that iPhone 5 could sport a Liquidmetal chassis - although it's something the inventor of the technology was quick to eschew.
The reason it would be so cool is that it would give the iPhone the same 'premium' feel while offering a new style of design. We might not see it yet, but there will likely be an iPhone based on this material in the future.

iPhone 5 release date: Will the iPhone 5 be able to defeat the Galaxy Note 2?

Will the new Apple iPhone 5 be able to beat Galaxy Note 2
The iPhone 5 release date is expected to happen Sept. 21st 2012. It will face its new rival, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Will the iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy Note 2 be the smartphone of the season? Everything leads us to think the iPhone 5 will be the phone of the season, but Samsung has a very powerful weapon in their arsenal. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a hybrid tablet and a smartphone overkill.
iPhone 5
Eagerly awaited for two long years, the so-called iPhone 5 should debut this fall. It will have a somewhat new design, quality materials and probably a very good quality camera.The length of the device suggests a 4-inch screen size. It is speculated to be equipped with an A6 quad-core CPU, and the chip also sits on a new logic board. The 9-pin dock connector will replace the previous dock connector. Whether these components will actually be included in the iPhone, one can currently only speculate. However, all evidence suggest it will certainly be less powerful than the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. But nonetheless, it will be a stylish smartphone that should have major success in the fall.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
The recently announced Galaxy Note 2 should be of particular interest to a student. The power of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 associated with its 5.5-inch screen gives it a real computer touch. Apart from this screen and amazing features which are greater than the powerful Samsung Galaxy S3 ( Exynos processor 4 cores at 1.6 GHz and 2 GB RAM ), the Note 2 also has a particularly interesting touch pen. This pen is very responsive and also is especially useful when taking handwritten notes. As a bonus, improved management allows more accurate writing.
The future iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 are two very different smartphones, which make two very good alternatives for the future. Those who prefer Apple's iOS and its simplicity and those who prefer the flexibility and openness of Android, have probably already chosen their side. For others, I will simply give you the following advice: if you prefer a smaller screen, simplicity and usability, then the Apple iPhone 5 is your smartphone of the season. Otherwise, go for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. So which will you choose?

New 4-inch iPhone 5 screens now in mass production

iPhone 5 Display Production
LG (066570) announced on Thursday that it has started firing up its production lines to produce screens for the next-generation iPhone, and it looks as though the new screens will indeed be longer and thinner than previous iPhone models. Unnamed sources told Reuters on Thursday that the new LG-produced iPhone screens will measure four inches corner-to-corner, or one half-inch longer than current iPhone screens, They are also thinner and include new technology that “embeds touch sensors into the liquid crystal display, eliminating the touch-screen layer found in current iPhones.” Apple (AAPL) is widely expected to announce the new iPhone on September 12th.

The most annoying things iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 won’t fix


iPhone 5 Criticism
We’re now just two weeks away from seeing Apple (AAPL) take the wraps off its sixth iPhone and while nothing is certain until Apple makes it official, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the so-called “iPhone 5.” Parts leaks, rumors and even videos of the new iPhone housing have been flowing steadily for months now, and they paint a relatively complete picture: We’re looking at a complete redesign that is just 7.6 millimeters thick, a 4-inch display, 4G LTE connectivity, 1GB of RAM and a new unibody aluminum case.
We’re also looking at a fresh upgrade to Apple’s mobile operating system. The Cupertino, California-based company first showed off iOS 6 during its annual Worldwide Developer Conference earlier this year and developers have been playing with the updated OS ever since.
The new iPhone is shaping up to be a fantastic upgrade and iOS 6 brings plenty of new functionality to the table, but Apple’s killer combo still leaves a lot to be desired. Here’s my list of the most annoying things that iOS 6 and Apple’s next-generation won’t fix.
Auto-correct. Apple’s is definitely doing Damn You Autocorrect a huge favor by keeping its text-input correction feature as miserable as it is, but most users likely don’t appreciate it quite as much. I’ve been playing with iOS 6 for some time now and while auto-correct is showing some small signs of improvement, it’s still pretty awful.
Widgets. It’s 2012, Apple. 2012. And I still have to open Notification Center or some app to know how hot it is outside? I still have to go into settings to toggle things like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? I still have to dig around for the Stocks app to get quotes? Give me a break.
Apple fans speculate that the company is concerned about the impact widgets might have on battery life, but Apple is the king of compromise when it comes to battery life. If it can find a viable solution for third-party apps — a controlled set of APIs that developers have access to — I’m sure it can work something out that would give users a limited number of widget-like icons that provide no-touch information.
Time- and location-based actions. The Do Not Disturb feature in iOS 6 is great — it allows users to silence phone calls and notifications each night on a schedule. This is only the tip of the iceberg, however, and I would love to see at least some functionality from applications like Motorola’s Smart Actions in iOS.
I discussed Smart Actions in my review of the RAZR MAXX, and some form of this functionality should be included in all smartphones. In a nutshell, the app takes the best time- and location-based functionality from various third-party solutions that have been around since the days of Symbian and Windows Mobile, and brings it to its Android devices. So, for example, a phone can be set so that every night it will automatically disable all services that synchronize data in the background, turn the ringer to silent, disable GPS and auto-reply to every SMS with “I’ll get back to you in the morning.”
Compared to the flexibility and control afforded by Smart Actions and similar solutions, Apple’s Do Not Disturb feature is sorely lacking.
Better email client. We’re on the sixth generation of Apple’s mobile software and I still can’t drill down my inbox view so it only displays unread emails. I also still can’t mark an email as read without opening it or navigate to my sent items without backing out to the main account list, scrolling down past the inboxes and navigating through the main folders. Come on.
Automatic app updates. It’s great that users won’t have to input a password in order to update an application starting with iOS 6, but there should absolutely be an option to update applications automatically.
Actionable notifications. While on the topic of not being able to mark an email as read with a tap or a swipe, let’s look at Apple’s notifications in iOS. Sad though it may be, notifications finally transitioned from absolutely abysmal to pretty good last year when Apple introduced iOS 5. Apple was playing catch-up at that time though, and there’s still work to be done.
Smartphone notifications should be actionable. If I get an SMS and I want to mark it as read or even respond, why do I have to open that SMS first? Same goes with email. So much is possible with actionable notifications, and Apple is way behind the curve.
Bigger display. According to rumors, multiple reports and a mountain of parts leaks, the next iPhone will include a 4-inch display. That’s all well and good, but all accounts suggest we’re only looking at a height increase — from the current model’s 960 x 640 pixels up to 1,136 x 640 pixels.
The new real estate will be nice to have in some instances, but it seems pretty likely that the next iPhone display won’t actually result in larger UI elements. Instead, we’re just looking at a change that would give the device a little more room for the current tiny visuals and a display aspect ratio that is quite different from the iPad. It will be interesting to see how this impacts apps and third-party developers.
Sharing data between apps. Apple limits third-party apps in terms of how they can interact with iOS, but it does offer APIs that compensate for this limitation in many instances. When it comes to third-party apps interacting with each other, however, Apple hasn’t even scratched the surface.
Enough with the skull quake. Last but not least, a pet peeve: Who — seriously, who — at Apple thought it was ok to let notifications vibrate while a user is on the phone? And how has this not been fixed already? When vibrating alerts are enabled on the iPhone and the user is on a call, the phone should play a barely audible chime in the ear speaker. It should not, under any circumstances, vibrate against the user’s head.
