In just a few short days, Apple will announce the iPhone 5. You know what that means: it’s time for a rumor roundup. Here’s what’s been said about the device so far: it will almost certainly have a larger, higher resolution screen then previous iPhone models. The iPhone has become one of the smaller smart phones available, and also one of the thickest. The new model is likely to be thinner than its predecessors. If you hold Samsung’s Galaxy S III, you’ll see right away why making a slim phone with a larger, clearer screen is probably a huge priority for Apple. We’ve also heard rumors that it will have a smaller dock connector and that the headphone jack will be on the bottom instead of the top. You’re probably thinking, that’s great, but when can I get one? Vacation blackouts imposed by Verizon Wireless indicate that the iPhone 5 will be available in stores on September 21.
