An iPhone that can predict your future,
let you time travel, get you out of jail for free PLUS harass your ex?
Why not? In fact, it seems almost plausible compared to the other wacko
theories being spun online about what features the new iPhone 5 will
have!
There is a crazed glint in everyone’s eye and tech geeks are almost beside themselves with joy. Even the staunchest Android supporter is looking wary. ‘Coz according to the latest rumor doing the rounds, the iPhone 5 release date has been pushed ahead from its October launch! (So if you, like half of the planet’s population, have been hankering your parents for an iPhone, then we advise you to start laying it on thick by adopting the ‘ideal child’ act). And of course, the phone holds great sentimental value for all Apple fanatics as iPhone 5 is said to have been the last project Steve Jobs worked on. (Yet another legitimate reason to get your parents to loosen the purse strings!)
Even as Samsung Galaxy S3 releases abroad, the internet world is abuzz with all the lengthy will-it-won’t-it discussions about what features to expect from the 6th generation iPhone; an entire legion of diehard Apple fans is breathlessly contemplating what the new phone will be like. Of course, if you are too excited to wait till the phone releases, you can take a look through the list below; we have compiled all the features that self appointed Internet tech gurus absolutely swear the new iPhone 5 will have:
The one feature that the wacked out Internet world will have you believe about that the new iPhone is its famous liquid metal design. According to them, Apple will do away with the home button and the phone size would get reduced to just 7.9mm.According to this story (which sounds suspiciously like it was cooked up by a jobless high school geek) Apple has apparently acquired a worldwide exclusive patent that allows it to use liquidmetal alloy in its devices. And the only reason why millions of fans are upset is because the new 4.5 inch widescreen display won’t support Angry Birds.
And if you thought that was bizarre, you do not want to hear the theory about Apple’s ongoing experimentation to develop a flexible OLED display for iPhone 5. An OLED display boasts the capability to bend a phone from the middle or from around the edge and it won't break, hence unbreakable. While a foldable screen would no doubt do everyone a world of good (just imagine the next time you break up with your girlfriend, she won’t be able to smash your phone to bits in anger) but something tells us that Steve Jobs would definitely have put the last few months of his life into developing something a bit more plausible.
However, yet another group of self appointed Internet experts has laughed off the previous reports; according to them the iPhone just cannot have a foldable screen because it will be made of Gorilla Glass (which is known for its thinness, strength and scratch resistance due to the combination of pure sand and naturally occurring chemicals) which would make the phone literally unbreakable. Seeing as we are done finding a cure to cancer and global warming, it is definitely heartening to know that our scientists are working on vital stuff like unbreakable screens. Forget all the battery issues and flash player problems, the need of the hour is to have a phone which can be used to boink your neighbor on the head the next time he chooses to play Justin Bieber songs on real loud. Wow, and there we were thinking that the researchers at Apple were working on tame things like wireless charging!
And while opinion is divided on what the phone will look like, it seems to be common knowledge among the gullible victims of the so called tech blogs that the new iPhone will be fireproof; since Apple has supposedly organized a patent for material which is halogen free flame retardant. Which is why Salman Khan wannabes just can’t stop celebrating; they can now freely jump into burning buildings to save hysterical girls without worrying about their phone catching fire.
However, the best (or should we say, the lamest) bit is yet to come. One faction of the Apple army has come up with a theory so bizarre that even all the over the top scriptwriters of our K soaps are stunned into silence: according to reports, Apple has secretly bought off designer Seunghan Song who is developing a revolutionary phone for Apple. Which means that the new iPhone will actually be a millimeter thick phone made of clear material that you can directly write on. And the best part is that the iPhone will transform its appearance just like a window when the weather changes.
The phone will be clear and fresh to look at on a sunny day and on a rainy day, it will look damp. Also, when you blow on the phone, it creates digital frost which lets you use it in the handwriting mode.
