\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve received word from a trusted Vodafone executive that Apple will be announcing two new iPhones tomorrow.<\/p>\n

One will be the iPhone 4S,<\/strong> an updated version of the iPhone 4 in the same form factor. We know from previous leaks and that the new upgrades will consist of a dual core ARM CPU (the same one that’s in the iPad 2) and an improved 8 megapixel camera. The camera is noted to be quite good in low light as it uses backlit sensor, and also will include a panoramic photo mode.<\/p>\n

The Vodafone exec noted that the phone would be available with much more internal storage than ever before – up to 64 GB versions will be sold. As the form factor isn’t changing too much, we’re already able to stock quite a number of iPhone 4S cases<\/a> and iPhone 4S covers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next is far more revolutionary; the radical redesign of the iPhone called the iPhone 5<\/strong>. The iPhone 5 will be launching later than the iPhone 4S, but is much more interesting.We know from leaked design specifications of iPhone 5 cases and other leaks that the phone will be sporting a dual core CPU, a full gigabyte of RAM, that eight megapixel camera and a tear-shaped curved metal-clad back similar to the iPhone 3G.<\/p>\n

The display also looks like it’ll be expanding based on the iPhone 5 case design documents, with the bezel shrinking to a minimum to\u00a0accommodate\u00a0a 4″ screen.\u00a0There are other small hardware changes — the lock switch has switched sides, for example, and the home button may be expanded to serve as a multi touch area.<\/p>\n

There are software changes too, which developers have seen firsthand with the iOS 5 developer preview. The most obvious change is that iCloud cloud storage has been integrated in a big way. There’s also improvements to notifications, making them for akin to the Android notification system. Several apps will also see updates, including Mail and Safari.<\/p>\n

Twitter integration is another plus, but the biggest change may be voice control, courtesy of Apple’s acquisition of tech firm Siri last year. The system, which is described as a solid progression from the voice control found in current generation iPhones, is called Assistant, and is capable of both reading and transcribing incoming text messages and emails.<\/p>\n

All in all, it looks like this generation is going to be a very significant upgrade. We’ll be covering Apple’s press event tomorrow, so check back here for the latest news on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S and corresponding iPhone 5 accessories and iPhone 4S accessories<\/a>\u00a0(such as those all-important iPhone 5 screen protectors).<\/p>\n
