We already told you this week that Steve Jobs reserved his last professional stamp on the iPhone 5, which is what the phone that Apple could present in 2012 could be called. According to what has been said, the ill-fated founder of the apple company would have turned his efforts into controlling the development of the first prototypes of the mobile future, and some of its characteristics are already beginning to be glimpsed.
DigiTimes already talks about their connections, for example. For the model that will go on sale next Friday, October 28 in Spain, the iPhone 4S, it was proposed that it include support for super high-speed LTE networks ( Long Term Evolution , or what is the same, 4G, with rates theoretical download speeds of up to 100 Mbps). However, it finally stayed with HSPA +, still set at the 3G standard (at 14.4 Mbps as a download ceiling).
However, as quoted by the aforementioned digital medium, the iPhone 5 could have in LTE connectivity one of its main arguments to sign the revolution that we could see in the 2012 Applephone model.
There is not yet a generalized coverage of 4G networks around the world as we could find it in the case of 3G, although some of the main markets for Apple's phones are already prepared for this type of connections, something that could be extended for the moment when the iPhone 5 is ready for distribution.
But why did not the presence of the added LTE to the iPhone 4S and yes come on the iPhone 5 ? According to DigiTimes, the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, alleged design issues to rule out the presence of this feature in the latest model of his bedside phone. Cook would have indicated that the possibility of including LTE support would require integrating a more powerful battery, which would have required a redesign of the terminal, which is reserved for the next generation of the iPhone.
Recall that Steve Jobs himself would have been responsible for controlling the design process of the model that, it is said, could be released in June 2012. So much so that, as we have already mentioned, the design of the iPhone 5 prototype would already be ready. Although, for the moment, it is risky to consider this data beyond the pure and harsh rumor.
