The iPhone 5 is near and you can judge the buzz. Apple is about to host a special event 12 September in San Francisco to unveil the newest version of its smartphone. The event kicks off at 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern. But what will Apple show us? The answer depends on the person you ask and what their expectations are.

Setting expectations, in most circumstances, is a good policy for managing eventual outcomes. If expectations have been properly managed, there are no surprises. Apple, however, doesn’t set its own expectations; its fervent fans and followers do.

Fueled by speculation, leaks, mock-ups, renderings, and other flotsam and jetsam from across the Web, consumer demand for the new iPhone has reached fever pitch, and expectations are impossibly high.

Let’s get real about what Apple will announce. Here is what we should expect to unfold during the course of Apple’s iPhone 5 event Wednesday.

iPhone 5 Design:

From the photos we have from blog to blog are indeed the iPhone 5. It has played out the same way every year. No matter how hard Apple tries, everything leaks. First it was a camera module, then a battery, then a circuit board, and eventually fully assembled mock-ups. If you’re expecting a brand new design for the iPhone 5, you’re going to be disappointed.

The iPhone 5 is going to look a lot like the iPhone 4/4S, only a little bit taller. We need only look at any other Apple design for evidence. Once Apple sets a design and/or look that it likes, that design sticks around for a while. Look at the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and, for Pete’s sake, the Mac Pro. These products’ overall look has not changed in years, and neither will the iPhone’s. If you think the leaked photos are an elaborate ruse on Apple’s part to throw us all off, get over it.

iPhone 5 Sim:

Apple pulled a quick one on the wireless industry that oversees SIM card design and convinced the overseeing standards body to use a design submitted by Apple. The nano SIM will make its first appearance in the iPhone 5. The nano SIM is smaller than the micro SIM that’s used in the iPhone 4/4S, iPad, and other smartphones. It will still require the use of a paperclip to retrieve the SIM card tray. You won’t be able to (easily) swap SIM cards from your iPhone 4/4S or other device to the new iPhone.

iPhone 5 Display:

The size of the iPhone 5′s display has been pegged at about four inches for the last six months. It would appear that the size gain is being made by extending the height of the display by 176 pixels, giving it an (approximate) 16:9 aspect ratio. This is why the iPhone 5 looks oblong in the images spied so far. It’ll still be a Retina Display, but it won’t match industry norms with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

LTE 4G:

LTE 4G is a table-stakes feature now (despite what some surveys say). Every flagship smartphone has to have it. The leading devices from Motorola, Samsung, LG, Sony, and Nokia all have LTE 4G on board. The iPhone 5 will support LTE, too. What spectrum bands will the iPhone 5 support? That’s the more important question. North American buyers can rest easy. The iPhone 5 will support AT&T and Verizon Wireless’ LTE 4G networks for sure, and probably Sprint’s as well. The iPhone 5 will also support LTE in some European and some Asian countries, though which countries is not yet certain

iPhone 5 iOS 6:

Apple has already provided a good overview of what iOS 6–its next-generation platform software–can do. Apple always holds back, though. Sure, iOS 6 adds PassBook, better settings menu organization, EyesFree, improved Siri powers/capabilities, better email, better Safari, and FaceTime over cellular, but there will be a few surprises. Apple is much better at hiding details of its software than details of its hardware. iOS 6 will be the one aspect of the presentation that may include a few curveballs.

iPhone 5 Other Features:

We know Apple from its history as Apple has done with every previous generation iPhone, the iPhone 5 will include minor spec jumps across the board. The processor will be upgraded to either a version of the same A5 chip that’s in the new iPad or the A6 chip, which has been under development for a while. The camera will be improved, but the megapixel count won’t change. The iPhone 4S’s 8-megapixel camera is still one of the best on the market. Apple won’t mess with it too much, other than to add better low-light support. Storage options are likely to remain the same at 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB. Don’t expect a 128 GB iPhone 5.

With that date in mind, an investors note released today by Munster projects iPhone 5 sales of anywhere from 6 million to 10 million. That estimate covers September 21 to the end of the month.

Overall, the analyst is eyeing total iPhone sales of at least 26 million units for the full September quarter, higher than the average Wall Street estimate of 22 million to 23 million.

Looking at the longer haul, J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz sees fiscal 2013 iPhone sales of 168 million, a boost from the previous estimate of 147.4 million. The analyst now believes the new iPhone won’t be hindered by supply-chain shortages as previously expected. Apple’s first quarter of fiscal 2013 starts next month and includes the critical holiday shopping season.

The iPhone recently relinquished the crown as the top-selling smartphone in the U.S. to Samsung’s Galaxy S3. Last month, Samsung’s flagship phone outsold the iPhone 4S, according to a retail check run by Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley.

“Later this month, we expect the iPhone 5 to reaffirm Apple’s leadership position in markets recently penetrated by the iPhone 4S,” the analyst said in an investors note out today. “In addition, given the addition of LTE, we believe the iPhone 5 will be established as a technology leader, versus other available smartphones.”

The release is near and it could be this month, most of the people can’t wait to get their hands on this new iPhone 5. We will see how many records this release breaks.

Providing even more evidence of a September release for the Apple iPhone 5, TechCrunch reported Sunday, citing an unnamed [...]]]> The next iPhone, which is also called iPhone 5 is on its way in September, with many magazines and sources confirming this due to the leaked news of Verizon and AT&T.

Providing even more evidence of a September release for the Apple iPhone 5, TechCrunch reported Sunday, citing an unnamed AT&T sales representative, that just like Verizon, AT&T also has vacation blackout in place for its employees from Sept. 21 to Sept. 30.

“We’ve received yet another bit of evidence confirming the next iPhone’s September 21 launch,” said the report. “According to an AT&T sales rep, AT&T staff has been given a vacation blackout from September 21 to September 30, just like Verizon employees. Our source also mentioned that blue carrier employees are undergoing training for an ‘iconic release’.”

“Sounds like the next-gen iPhone to me,” said Jordan Crook of TechCrunch.

It is still unclear if iPhone 5 beats Samsung Galaxy S3 in terms of performance and charisma but it is highly believed it will do the job.

iPhone 5 conceptual images have already been out in web from last year and it would be interesting to see which of the images resembles close to the actual new iPhone.

According to earlier reports by the Wall Street Journal, the next generation iPhone 5 will have a 4 inch screen (currently 3.5 so far). Citing sources familiar with the matter, the WSJ said in its report that Apple has ordered screens to its Asian suppliers with a measure [...]]]> iPhone 5 will have a 4 inch screen!

According to earlier reports by the Wall Street Journal, the next generation iPhone 5 will have a 4 inch screen (currently 3.5 so far). Citing sources familiar with the matter, the WSJ said in its report that Apple has ordered screens to its Asian suppliers with a measure of “at least 4 inches diagonally. ” Previously numerous reports have emerged in this direction also including the statements of the analyst, Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets, which suggested that the next iPhone will have a larger 4 inch screen and a new design.

This sleek new look will be the main reason, why consumers decide to switch to the iPhone 5, while we believe the addition of 4G will also be an important asset to attract buyers for the new device.

The iPhone 5 will have a smaller dock!

Earlier this month iLounge outlined several rumors about the iPhone 5, one of them is that the device will include a smaller dock connector. This rumor has been revived by the site iMore who also reported a similar news regarding a move towards a more discreet connection port. Recall iMore generally has a pretty good track record on predicting the characteristics of future Apple products. The report, however, mention the fact that Apple is currently still in the prototyping phase and the design is not set in stone yet.

A thinner iPhone 5, equipped with the protective glass Gorilla two?

ILounge, the blog focuses on the apple also reported that a “reliable source” had confirmed details of a more slender and more of the iPhone, and with a protective glass scratch resistant Gorilla 2 to before, and a metal panel at the back. The report itemized further than the next generation iPhone will be about 20 percent thinner than its predecessor. The approximate measurements are 125mm by 58.5mm by 7.4mm – a jump of 10 mm high, about 2 mm in thickness reduction, and a width substantially identical,” wrote iLounge.

According to our source, Apple will make a major change for the back cover with the addition of a metal panel on the back of the new iPhone. This panel will be flat, not curved, metal, not ceramic.

Now this means a great deal to iPhone 5 beloved users who can anticipate that the next launch of iPhone 5 would be thinner and lighter. The newly developed display screen technology is integration of touch sensors with the actual display screen circuits which would replace the old practice of placing touch sensors on top of display screen, making it more heavy and thick.

The patent named “touch screen liquid crystal display” suggests different ways of integrating the various components. One way could be placing touch screen sensors in the color filter and array of the display. This would mean the circuit design could support both.

Apple Inc. explained in their filing of patent, “By integration of layered structure of touch sensor panel and display screen would achieve various benefits”. “This would enable us to eliminate few layers, which would reduce cost and also the thickness of the touch screen and make it simpler to manufacture”.

This technology will be very beneficial not only to iPhone 5 and other mobile devices but it will find its way to revolutionize other devices as well.

Apple Inc. added to patent filing, “The basic principles that are being described here may be used to improve the input devices of different electronic devices”. “These electronic devices or computer systems may be of variety of types like desktop computers, notebook computers, tablet devices, handheld devices, personal digital assistants, cell phones and media players and others alike.

Create and Increase brand Loyalty

The result of effective brand development strategy is brand loyalty in your customer. This means that your customers will continue preferring your brand on your competitor’s brand and not turn to any other. Your customers will continue buying your product or service regardless of cost. Increase in your Customer loyalty will act as defense against the marketing efforts of your competitors to capture your market share. If your customers use your products simply because they are made and sell by you, than your competitors can’t steal your customers.

 Decrease the Effects of Business Crisis

We all have seen and witness the effects of bad economy on people’s lives and businesses, other than those businesses face internal problems which can affect your sales and marketing efforts like supply shortages to manufacture known as operational problems, delays on licensing of new product line workers standing down so there are many things that can go sideways to a plan and all of that can result in shortage of your product in market. Customers don’t like to wait they probably would go to your competitor’s brand only if they are not loyal to your brand. This can be minimized by investing in your brand with right strategies. Even in today’s bad economy only those brand stood tall which had developed loyal customers.

Co-operative marketing Partnership

If you have a strong brand than there would be many people and businesses who would want to work with your brand to develop better and effective co-operative marketing strategies. They think you have better understanding of customers and potentials market holds. With co-branding and advertising not only you can lower your cost but also use each other’s well established customer base to reach to more market potential. You would have the upper hand and be in a better bargaining position with your co-branding partners. Your brand is your advantage point in any business.

No one can say for sure that how much of your increased sales and revenues is result of your brand development process but if you look in terms of Customer loyalty and increased co-operative marketing and advertising, a good brand development strategy does return your investment.
