Apple's Apple's everywhere but not an update in sight. The wait for an updated iPhone is one of the most anticipated technology trends in the world, and people quite literally plan their whole year around it. But I can see in to the future. And I can tell you three definite iPhone 5 features which are coming this 2011.
The current iPhone 4 processor is called the A4 and is by all means a great chip (it is the same as featured in the iPad, Apple's take on a Tablet PC).
But if you take an A4 chip and put against Samsung's latest Hummingbird processor the A4 looks remarkably slow in comparison. The reason for this is the amount of cores it has, and so Apple must throw in a better chip-set to the iPhone 5 to compete with the latest generation of Smartphones from LG and Samsung respectively.
Apple have already been beaten to the punch on NFC Technology by the Google Nexus S, Google's pedigree Android smartphone. One thing Apple will definitely do is include iWallet technology into their iPhone 5 as to keep up with the latest payment solution trend.
One thing Apple always manage to do is re-market an existing technology and build on it. I suspect their take on NFC will be 'revolutionary'.
Apple's iOS is behind other operating systems in notifications - in fact, if you use an Android handset, iOS is around 3 years behind with no live widget screen updates. One thing Apple will definitely do with the iPhone 5 is release an updated version to iOS, including a better notification system for messages, social networking and email.
There are a ton more iPhone 5 features one could list to this article, however the majority of them are mere speculations. These three listed are pretty much sure to make it into the iPhone 5.
