The Apple iPhone 5 may or may not arrive in September. Or be super thin but extra big. Or feature a new dock. There is no shortage of rumors, speculations or forecasts about a device—even the name iPhone 5 is a guess—that Apple has yet to officially breathe a word about. What is known is that in Samsung, Apple finally has a real competitor. Past comparisons of iPhones to Android sales figures have been silly, as they weighed Apple against a handful of manufacturers. Samsung, however, has pulled ahead of the rest of the Android pack, and smartphone for smartphone, the South Korean giant has out-sold Apple during the first quarter of this year and likely also the second. When Samsung introduced the Galaxy S III in May, it showed its hand (and the public liked what it saw; Samsung has very publicly struggled to make supply meet demand). Now following Samsung, the pressure is on. Apple has so succeeded at wowing the public during its staged events, the bar couldn't be set higher. Here, eWEEK looks at 10 supposed iPhone 5 features that the rumor mill has said Apple will include. And still, greedily, we're crossing our fingers for that one more thing we couldn't have dreamed up to wish for.
