One more iPhone 5 Posting- My predictions for the not so obvious

Today is the day Apple announces the iPhone 5. The biggest anticipation is what will be the big surprise  beyond the 8 megapixel camera and even faster processor. Here are my top predictions:

1. More COLOR choices: Based on the strategy from the iPod- we will see a RED and or PINK IPhone options. While cases can certainly add that flair, the front of the iPhone has remained monochromatic since the beginning, and may be about to chance.


2. Larger screen, in the same frame size. How can you do this? Bring the speaker and camera closer to the screen. 


3. Thin is in- This is one is not a secret. the IPhone can certainly be more svelte! 


4. Addition of Near Field Communications for wallet and other similar applications.


6. Mini Me: A smaller, less expensive version of the iPhone to capture the masses. The agreement signed with Sprint, which has a slightly lower ARPU customer base was a signal that there is an attempt to broaden the base of users. Or perhaps the 3GS form factor and screen resolution is going to be made available in CDMA and at a lower price.


We'll see how accurate these predictions were in less than an hour!
