Though Apple has announce that the next version of its
mobile platform’s Operating System iOS 6 will hit the markets this fall, to
iPhone app developers disappointment it has been uncannily silent about the
release of its next revolutionary
version of iPhone. There a million speculations rising each and every
day, there are some so called assumptions which do have credibility even though
there is a thick cloud of uncertainty surrounding them.
Security Enhancements
The deal has not been done yet but this has been one of the
most credible speculations till date. It is that for security enhancements in
the iPhone and for iPhone app programmers, Apple is planning to buy AuthenTec.
It is a security provider for both mobile platform and its network.
This move could prove to be a very vital one for every
iPhone app developer as Authentec provides intense security such as finger
print recognition, content security for iPhone app programmers etc. The
intriguing fact for iPhone app developers from all over the world has been the
one that AuthenTec has been selling this feature for Apple’s Rival company
Samsung till date.
Near-Field
Communication
Passbook is a new feature that has been added to the new iOS
6. Initially it has been touted to be used as a guide to store passes for
travelling, other coupons and receipts, loyalty cards etc. Analyzing this some
iPhone app programmers and other analysts have speculated that this application
could be used in the new iPhone as an elite program for payments using the
near-field communication which is in built in Passbook.
Even in this feature AuthenTec’s name has been tagged along
and speculated as the company has sufficient developments for Apple to couple
and bolt any Near-Field Communication technology into the next generation
iPhone.
Dock Connector 19-pin
Reuters recently claimed that the new iPhone 5 has been
developed with a very significant change that is the already existing 32 pin
dock connector has been replaced with a 19 pin dock connector. iPhone app
programmers have indeed taken a note of it as there will be changes in the
developer’s end too. This speculation also leads to another earlier one which
mentioned that Apple was working on a micro-dock for all of its devices, not
just iPhone 5.
iPhone app programmers have to change many fundamental
aspects of their applications which are related to power, data transfer etc.
Thus iPhone app developers from all over the world have been keenly looking
forward to hearing officially from Apple about these speculations so that they
can make the required changes and be prepared for the release of the phone.
Screen with Different
Aspects
Latest alleged photos of phone have shown a very different
screen for the iPhone 5 from its successor models of iPhone 4 and 4S. This is
also another aspect which has been toiling with iPhone app developers heads for
a very long time as this is not just an aspect of the application they might
built but the whole application’s User Interface itself depends on it.
Certainty of
Speculations
Though there are speculations about iPhone in every corner
of the web only a very few set of them are reasonably believable. And even if
these speculations are not completely trusted by the iPhone app developers, it
is better to have ideas of the upcoming next generation phone.
