We are about to get down and dirty and ask you a question, hopefully you do not find it a stupid one. Is the Apple iPhone 5 release needed? The reason we ask this is the fact that the new iOS 5 is outstanding in every shape and form.
The new iOS 5, which is in beta stage at the moment is magical, outstanding and feature special, so do we really need a new Apple smartphone just yet? Personally Apple should release the next phone in June 2012 so that we can enjoy the iOS 5 goodness on our current iPhone’s.
The next iPhone has not even got a name just yet, will it be the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or iPhone 4G, or even iPhone 4GS, come on stranger things have happened. The point we are putting across is, why do we need a new iPhone, ok yes it would come with the new iOS 5 already pre-installed but the iPhone 4 is good enough. The next-gen iPhone will only come with a few different features such as new design, such as curved screen, maybe a better camera (Some say 8MP), better processor.
Our recipe is, iPhone 4 with iOS 5 and connected to the iCloud, that is a dish even Gordon Ramsey would enjoy and he is a fussy man.
There over 200+ features in the new iOS 5 and these are the best ones:
Notification Center: Notifications don’t interrupt you and disappear quickly, Swipe down to reveal Notification Center, View stocks and weather, Check voicemail with a swipe from the Lock screen, Swipe to respond to a notification from the Lock screen and Tap a notification to respond from any app.

The features in the new iOS 5 is astonishing to say the least, once this new update is released to the publics we say that the iPhone 4 is more than enough and an iPhone 5 is not needed, well not at least until 2012.
