1. Enhanced voice control

It has 70% chance of being implemented. However, Apple never showed any voice control feature included in the preview of the iOS 5.

Imagine, you get to compose and send text messages with the use of your vocal cords.

2. Micro HDMI out

Apple released a full 720p or 1080i HD video output for iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G last March. The only problem is that you also have to buy the Digital AV to send the HD file to your TV. That’s one of the reasons why they rather preferred Android-powered smartphones. Such smartphones already had a built-in Micro HDMI port. It only needed a cable to run the video to the TV. Everyone is hoping that a Micro HDMI out will be available.

3. Removable battery

There’s a zero percent chance that it’s going to happen. A lot of people are rooting for a removable battery similar to other phones. But if a removable battery is included, it will counter the current design of the iPhone 5.

4. Expandable memory

As if the memory they provide is not enough, people are still hoping for an expandable memory. Everyone can still continue dreaming because it’s not going to happen.

5. Biometric security

Wouldn’t it be a dream-come-true when you swipe your finger rather than entering a code so you can unlock your phone? It’s a whole new level of security.  The only person who can gain access to your phone is you. There’s a 25% chance that it’s going to happen. Rumor has it that Apple included some patents that are linked to this feature.

6. Near field communication technology

It’s e-wallet taken to the next level. There are a lot of speculations about Apple putting a near field communication technology in iPhone 5. It is a bar code replacement technology. Your iPhone could be used as a payment device.

The home screen is not customizable according to people’s preference. One would want a dashboard-like appearance. Looks like people’s request have been answered. There’s a guarantee that it has an improved home screen. There are available widgets that you could add in your phone.

9. FaceTime and Video Chat provided by cellular networks

Currently, video chat is only made possible if there’s Wi-Fi. Users want FaceTime included in the settings menu.

Informants have been rummaging that the iPhone 5 will be lighter and slimmer than the other iPhone models. Also, as compared to the usual glass backing of the previous models, the most recent series will contain an aluminum plate casing. Images were also leaked a few weeks back by the company Case-Mate, revealing pictures of the new iPhone case. Shortly after that, the images were replaced by some cryptic message also from the same company. With this, others have been saying that Case-Mate just wanted to take advantage of the anticipation that the iPhone lovers are showing.
