iPredictions for an awesome iPhone 5

by Bryce Boron ’15

We all love our cell phones. From old to new, internet to non-internet, flip phone to touch phone, we all stand by our cell phones. The iPhone 4 came out recently, but it is not the last installment to Apple’s amazing products. There are many predictions on what the new iPhone 5, said to be coming out in September or October of this year, will look like. One rumor is that it will not be upgraded except for bug fixes. This promised iPhone will look almost the same as the iPhone 4, although it will be a little squarer.

Another rumor is that it will have a slide keyboard. The iPhone 5 will retain Apple’s signature touch screen, but the back will slide down for a complete keyboard.

Yet another rumor is that the screen will be see-through when turned off. If this is true, than you would be able to see what the person is doing on the iPhone from the back. I have talked to three Ignatius men, two of which said they would like it. Even though it is the most extraordinary rumor about the iPhone 5 out there, it seems to be a popular feature.

The new iPhone 5 is due to be introduced either this September or this October. It will sure be interesting to see how people react!
