An amazing video takes weeks roam freely on the Internet. It is a recreation based on a concept from a (visionary) Apple phone fan, although there are few who believe that it really reflects the future performance of the iPhone 5. Nothing is further from reality. With closest features to science fiction than to own functionalities of a smartphone, the iPhone 5 fantasy has made him drool more than an expectant user, and should be remembered that so far little or nothing is what is known for sure about the next apple phone.
In any case, it is convenient to review what the concept of iPhone 5 presents (remember that at the beginning of the video the fictitious nature of the representation presented is underlined) to try to find the key to why the new Apple phone is not I'd spend them with those futuristic features.
For starters, we have the ultra-slim design. Beyond the fact that what is shown in the image is a model with a flagrant whiff of satin cardboard, the possibility that a smartphone of such thickness will be developed in this generation is very remote. In the video we see a proposal that, with a feather fly, can be marked in the two or three millimeters of profile.
In that case, and taking into account that precisely the section on batteries is one of the least advanced of all those that make up the specifications of the terminals of this generation, it is very difficult to make bobbins to embed a portable power supply in such a sylph. And that's for not dedicating ourselves to other fundamental components, which would hardly have a place in such a small space.
Let's keep going. We also see that this concept has a laser keyboard that is projected onto a surface and detects the position of our fingers to interact as if it were a physical keyboard with a classic format. Very spectacular, but as surprising as it is unlikely. It is true that this technology exists (it is known as HLP), and that it has its main fields of application in the educational and corporate sectors.
But as far as is known, the sensitivity of these systems is not yet so precise as to include it in a device as small as a mobile phone. Not to mention the angle of inclination required to project the keyboard, which would require accessories to hold the phone in the proper position. And not another thing, but if something does not like Apple is to launch terminals that complicate the life of the customer (except in the case of the iPhone 4 and the AntennaGate, but that's another matter).
Along the same lines, we could rule out the presence of a holographic projector like the one shown by the enthusiastic recreation of the Apple fan that has generated the video in question. It is not nonsense to think that a mobile phone integrates a pico projector (the South Korean Samsung has a model, the Samsung Beam, limited to the Asian market, which has a small laser projector), although in this case, the proposal that this concept wields is more there.
What is shown is the ability to project holography s, which is fine if you have a R2D2 unit and we need to ask for help from Obi-Wan Kenobi, but we complicate things if we want to play videos using a mobile as a source of projection. This technology is on the roadmap of many firms (IBM predicts that the first samples of these systems could begin to be seen in 2015), although at the moment it is nothing more than a futuristic fantasy that, nevertheless, we would be very happy to see the day Tim Cook presents the iPhone 5. However, if you want to avoid disappointment, you shouldget used to the idea of other more prosaic and functional features.
