hi everyone I'm Kara Tsuboi cnet.com joined by senior managing editor kent german to talk about the latest iphone 5 rumors all right Kent so we've already covered a bigger screen possibly a smaller pin connector but this week's rumors include possibly a smaller sim card is that right sure the first iPad Apple moved to a micro sim which is a smaller sim card than we're used to and then the iphones that came after it also had a micro sim so this might even be a smaller sim card no it means nothing to you as far as the way the phone functions it still makes calls still gets data but it does allow for a possibly bigger battery that's right because there's now more room for a bigger battery and along with that smaller dock connector that was more room inside the phone so bigger battery obviously translates to a longer battery life let's hope and that's going to be important especially we have that bigger screen like we've heard a bigger screen sucks up more in battery or data or color more vibrancy so you're going to need something that's going to last longer absolutely bigger screen means more movies to watch absolutely and there's also a little more information about the release date tell us about that well we've heard for a while now the actual announcement date might be September 12 so that's probably one will see an apple event ok use what happens is the release date so when you actually get it comes a week later and so we're hearing that it's going to be September 21st which would be nine days later and so that makes sense sexually that's usually about the time that we expect next week and then maybe two more days ok so the announcement on the 12 in pre-orders could start on the 12 yes you'll be able to order them and then your hot little phone and your hot little hands just the lines would be the next week at the apple store ok great well I know the news is ever-changing so we look forward to the next update yep great there you'll see thank you so much kent kent german senior managing editor cnet com I'm Kara Tsuboi thanks for watching
