It seems like everyone I know is sitting on their wallets, waiting for the iPhone 5. I know I am. It was rumored months ago that the newest iPhone would be revealed in September and ship in October. The latest reports still support that rumor although an end-of-September rollout remains a possibility. What’ll the new iPhone have? We can dream of better battery life due to an improved battery and a display that doesn’t eat so much power. That display will probably be larger than the current iPhone. The shape of the phone would be tapered, more like the profile of a MacBook Air, and the phone may finally include some kind of memory card. For those waiting for a slide-out keyboard, keep practicing on your touch screen because a hard keyboard seems unlikely. Better cameras are a must and maybe, just maybe, more than one version of the iPhone. A cheaper one, a smaller one, a simpler one, are possibilities that could help increase sales. It would also help to get the Apple operating system into more hands. That’s why an iPhone for Sprint could be in our future. Android has taken a lead over iPhone, in part, because everyone is sitting and waiting for iPhone 5. In fact, one analyst’s report says the iPhone 5 could double Apple’s share of the mobile market. Android also gets a boost because there are many different phones served by the Android operating system and because many different carriers use those phones. So, when you stack up the iPhone (essentially one phone on one system until the recent addition of Verizon) against all the Androids, it makes the iPhone’s sales performance even more amazing. But the most impressive thing is that Apple makes more profit off its mobile phones than all its competitors, combined. As TechCrunch reported “Apple now controls over 66 percent of all the profits amongst the major players in the mobile space. HTC, RIM, LG, Sony-Ericsson, Samsung Motorola, and Nokia combined for the other 33 or so percent of profits in the space (with a few of them: Nokia, Motorola, LG, and Sony actually losing money). Apple, the company “losing” the great mobile race to Android, is destroying all the Android manufacturers combined when it comes to profits.” Cha-Ching!
