Apple Inc. could be planning a comeback to regain first position as the leading smartphone seller after it was overthrown by rival Samsung early this year.It is expected to announce the widely anticipated next model of phone unofficially dubbed iPhone 5 later this year.

The handset is rumored to have a thinner body of close to 8mm and a larger four-inch display with the latest in-cell panel technology.

Among the new anticipated features also is the new 3D mapping application for its iPad and iPhone. Apple is said to have developed its own mapping app as part of the new iOS 6, which will displace Google Inc.’s.The increased display larger screen will allow Apple to keep up with the deluge of expansive Android kits flooding the market.

It is however confirmed that the iPhone will feature a new processor in the A5 range, along with a high-definition front-facing camera. The handset will pack an ARM_S5L8950X chipset. The processor was previously thought to be a part of the A6 family, but it appears to be of a similar class to the A5X variant that featured on the ‘new iPad’.

Apple will be hosting a World Wide Developer Conference next week aimed at addressing the declining trend of the iPhone sales, the company is expected to show the next version of its iOS software for the iPhone and an upgrade of its OS X software for the Macintosh. The iOS update will show what kind of new features can be expected in the new iPhone later this year.
