Most Reasonable Speculations For iPhone 5 App Programmers
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.
