Cool But Probably Denied iPhone 5 Features

By now, Apple has probably already finished the final specifications of its iPhone 5. Although they are very mum on the features, we can expect only the best from them. They are, after all, one of the leading giants in the electronic devices industry.
While there has been lots of debate about what Apple has added in the iPhone 5, there can be no mistaking that there are some features which are clearly out of the question. Some are against Apple’s standards and some are just outright ridiculous. Find out what some of these are by reading the article.
1 – First in the list is the micro HDMI port. Just last month, March 2011, Apple announced that their devices would be able to support 720p and 1080p video output. This is good and all but the problem is that you need to use Apple’s own Digital AV to make it possible. This converter/extender costs around $40 which is very bulky when you compare it to the micro HDMI port that uses an inexpensive yet efficient $5 cable. Scratch this feature of the list because Apple does not look like making adjustments at the moment.
2 – The presence of removable batteries. While other smart phones have no problems implementing this, Apple is not concerned about this at all. They are sticking to their design which, for them, makes their devices lightweight and portable. This does not seem to bother consumers though except for those which have problems powering up the device. In this case, the only solution would be to send the phone for repair unlike others where you can just replace the battery if it was indeed the problem.
3 – Next on the list is the expandable memory. Yes, if you were hoping this would be available, sorry to disappoint you. Currently, Apple has no plans of introducing SD card slots in the iPhone 5. For whatever reason it may be, let us at least hope that they improve the phone memory to meet the memory demands of today.
4 – Last on the list is the world famous issue regarding Flash support. The iPhone 5, as expected, will still not be able to support Flash. Although it is not surprising, it is still disappointing to a majority of consumers who can do nothing but complain. The entire web is clearly dependent on Flash. There are some sites which offer alternative viewing for iPhone users but it will never be the same without Flash. Either way, Apple will never allow Flash as long as they are selling games via iTunes.
