Since Steve Jobs’ recent announcement of retirement, the public has been wondering how Apple and the iPhone will continue. And Apple investors' concerns grew after reports emerged that this summer Android smartphones had monopolized the market.
Tim Cook, stepping in for the first time as the company's CEO, is expected to make his first public appearance on Tuesday. He is expected to present Apple’s brand-new next generation iPhone, dubbed iPhone 5, which would help Apple come back on top of the smartphone market. Here are ten features iPhone 5 must possess in order to defeat its rivals. Start the slideshow to begin.
Must Read
1. Faster Processor
A dual-core processor in smartphone has been more and more popular. LG, Motorola and Samsung all have their dual-core processor phones. For example, The Samsung Galaxy S II has a 1.2 GHz dual core ARM Cortex-A9 processor. Apple’s legendary dual-core processor A5 must be at least identically fast in order to win the market.

2. Improved Operating System
The powerful competitor of Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread has more than 30% of the smartphone market share according to Android developers. Facing such situation, Apple must stay innovative with its OS if it hopes to compete.
3. 4G
With a number of smartphones graduating to 4G, including the Samsung Galaxy S2, Epic 4G Touch, and T-Mobile’s HTC Amaze, it seems that iPhone 5 must move beyond its current 3G technology in order to offer competitive service.
4. Increased Memory
Corresponding to speeding up its processor, the iPhone 5 must accordingly increase its storage capacity. The constantly growing app store and new features surfacing every other day have increased the demand for more storage in random memory. Many Android phones, such as the Galaxy S2, have already increased their storage to 1GB RAM.
5. Powerful Camera
In a very short time, 8-megapixel cameras have become standard on many Android models. For example, HTC’s myTouch 4G Slide boasts 8 MP backside illuminated camera sensor with dual LED flash, a VGA front-facing camera, and a 1080p camcorder. Apple must revamp its current 5-megapixel camera to remain competitive. Also a dual LED flash and a front-facing camera must be added.
6. Longer Battery Life
