iPhone 5: All the Rumors About Apple's Next-Generation iPhone
By Liane Cassavoy, About.com Guide

Apple is expected to unveil the details of its next-generation iPhone -- the fifth version of the wildly-popular smartphone -- in the coming months. And new rumors about what the new iPhone might look like and the features it may have seem to pop up every day. Here's a roundup of the most popular theories about the highly-anticipated iPhone.
Name

The next-generation iPhone often has been referred to as the "iPhone 5," following in the steps of the iPhone 4. But the latest reports suggest that the device may actually be called the iPhone 4S. That name would make sense; Apple's third-generation iPhone was called the iPhone 3GS, after the second-generation iPhone had been named the iPhone 3G.
Launch Date

Apple typically launches a new iPhone each summer, but as of this writing (May 2011), the company does not seem prepared for a summer launch of the iPhone 5/4S. Most analysts expect the next iPhone to launch in the fall of 2011 instead of the summer, with some reports even suggesting it may not come until the end of the year.
Carriers

Now that Apple has ended its exclusive deal with AT&T and is offering the iPhone 4 on Verizon Wireless, the question is whether the iPhone will make its way to additional carriers. A research note from financial industry analyst Jefferies & Co. says that the new iPhone will be offered on Sprint and T-Mobile, too. That information is based on "industry checks," according to Jefferies & Co.
4G Support?

Maybe. While most industry insiders agree that support for Verizon's super-fast 4G LTE network is unlikely, the iPhone 5/4S may support HSPA+ networks. Currently offered by AT&T and T-Mobile, HSPA+ is an evolved form of current 3G networks, capable of delivering 4G speeds.
Camera

The camera on the iPhone 5/4S may get a significant boost in quality, some reports suggest. Rumors say that Apple's next iPhone may feature an 8-megapixel camera, powered by a Sony sensor. The current iPhone, the iPhone 4, features a 5-megapixel camera.
Screen

The Retina Display was one of the most-hyped features on the iPhone 4 when it launched in 2010. But new rumors suggest that Apple is looking at redesigning the display on the next-generation iPhone, as a purported mockup of the new phone shows a device with an edge-to-edge screen. That screen would feature the same 3:4 screen ratio currently used on the iPad, not the 2:3 screen ratio that the iPhone 4 features.
