So, while not announced, it is a solid guess that Apple will release the iPhone 5 this year (the article suggests late summer).  While Apple is very tight lipped about what will be on the iPhone 5 as compared to the iPhone 4.5s, the authors have some suggestions:

• The iPhone 4.5s is boring - do something to 'jazz' it up a little; have some design innovations, etc.
• Consumers are vary of 'nominal' upgrades - the iPhone 4.5 was NOT all that earthshaking as compared to the iPhone 4.  Ho hum - another new iPhone - big deal (not).  Put some real new features and excitement into the phone
• Competitors are gaining (if not ahead) of Apple - [the article suggested the LG Spectrum] - if Aapple wants to be viewed as progressive - or reactionary - might depend on what they do to the iPhone 5
• Use a quad core processor (not just a dual core) 
• Apple needs to improve its corporate / enterprise approach - (and take over the Blackberry market)
• It must have 4G - bring it on!!!

The article (really slide show) suggests that Apple is losing its competitive edge with 'just another new iPhone' mentality - and needs to make a serious effort to make the iPhone 5 a leader in many ways!!!
