The anticipation of waiting for your phone contract to end or just ending it and paying the expensive cancellation fee; the excitement of getting the new and latest Iphone could be considered desperate for some people or just a new thing out in the technology world for others.

The rumor is that the Iphone 5 is scheduled to release sometime in the fall of 2012. The new technology is one huge step being introduced in the smartphone competition for Apple. The new design and features have been speculated but no one really knows what the Iphone 5 is really going to be about.

“I don’t know much about the new Iphone 5, but I have heard that the appearance will be a dramatic change and it will also have more memory.” Apple employee Colin Jennings said. “The new style of the phone will be something that everyone will want, we as a store are expecting a huge turn out on the day it will be released.”

Apple doesn’t take too much time to introduce a new generation for Iphones. the Iphone 4s was released October 2011 and was a hit among the smartphone generation.

“I just got the Iphone 4s a few months ago.” junior Gabby Bestch said. “I had some Sprint phone before and I’m never going back. I absolutely love my new Iphone I honestly don’t know how I went without all the apps and internet.”

Being the first dual core smartphone for Apple, the phone introduced Siri, a voice that enables the user to navigate the phone by voice and many other small features that make the Iphone 4s different than all of Apple’s previous generations.

“The camera on the front and the back is really what made the difference from the previous generations for the Iphone 4s.” Jennings said. “The only other big difference was siri, which will definitely be on the new Iphone 5.”

Siri is something that most smartphones don’t have. Iphones competitors such as the Evo are different in their looks but similar when it comes to apps.

“I have never had an Iphone.” junior Morgan Mosby said. “I love my Evo. It has a bigger screen but still has the same applications.I have never really cared for an Iphone. I’m content with what I have.”

The fact that the Iphone 4s was so similar to the 4, Apple must be cooking up something extra special for the Iphone 5, whether that be the bigger screen or the more memory we will only know when the phone is released later this year. No matter what apple releases, its bound to be a hit due to most people’s obsession of new technology.

“I’m really interested in what the new features will be.” senior CJ Shipwright said. “When Apple comes out with a new generation of something, I look forward to seeing what new technology is out there.”
