Alleged iPhone 5 battery leaks, capacity barely changed

maybe its a new battery for a refreshed 4s that will come out with the five as a cheaper option

I think that (Patent) is the reason why phone manufacturers don't use that amount of battery capacity. I can't think of any other reason. When technology has reached to 3300mAh there is no acceptable excuse to use less than that.

You don't understand apple at all. This is the first iPhone 5, the next version iPhone 5s release in Sept 2013 might have it.

Incremental hardware/software update has always been apple's long standing policy.

Even their software will disable most sort after feature on older hardware. Latest example are their AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion, only mac purchase from 2011 onwards will have that feature. The rest please buy a new mac.

Not long and since its a LCD screen and not OLED....
Well, the number 1 complain with all phones these days have been the battery backup :D

I don't think it will actually have a quad-core processor (that would cut into Apple's high iPhone profit margins). My best guess is a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor.

Welcome to Early 2011 Apple Fans!! :D
That would be a dated configuration though.. Anyway i don't think iOS needs a faster or quad core cpu or more ram since it still does not have full fledged multitasking
That should increase the life of battery though

Actually I prefer an A15 2-core over an A9 4-core

My old motorola milestone 2 has a 1400mAh battery with a TFT 3.7 inch screen. The battery can last 13 hours with CPU tuner tweak that under clock the phone to 300Mhz during idle.

So its possible that apple would use a 1440mAH battery for their iPhone 5 assuming the iOS is more power efficient due to the lack of apps true multitasking.

Even Nokia N95 8GB (2007 year) has 1200mAh battery. :)

thats like saying my hummer has a bigger tank of gas than this prius...

btw the EVO had a 1500mah battery and its famous for having bad battery life while most 1500mah Androids coming out to the market now run all day long with that little juice.

I understand what you want to say, you want to say that consumptions are different, but I don't think that new iPhone will be eating less than Nokia N95 8GB.

But good logic +1 for you.

Yes exactly, If apple was able to upgrade the iPhone without the need of more battery, good for them.

although, I'm not quite convinced that battery life will be the same if the new iPhone has LTE. I not sure they can pull it off.

Damn ass it all about money,apple still uses the samsung patent for the 3g, ass u have seen its only samsung that doesn't wanna pay loyality for apple pattent but apple shares its pantent to who ever can aford it, if samsung denies aple LTE patent then no pinch to zoom for you and no bounce effect I bet u gonna have to use the circular phone coz we own the rectangle (evil lough)

Seriously, LTE has been around for like 2 years now. Apple needs to spend less time in the court rooms and more time on the drawing boards thinking of better products.

Hope that's bulls**t. At least 3000 mAh
