With the iPhone 5 rumours flying around the internet, the release date is getting closer and many are saying that they expect to see the latest phone arrive around September time. The highly anticipated device is said to have many improvements for music fans and enthusiasts using the phone as a means to play music. As its one of the most talked about devices, we decided to cover a few points which may surface when the device is revealed.

One of Apples strengths is i-Tunes and its thought that the iPhone 5 will see many upgrades and the introduction of i-Tunes 11 which will support iOS 6 and its thought that the i-Tune store is set for a revamp too.

Another interesting rumour suggests that the i-Phone 5 will work perfectly with a new headset which will work a bit like an iPod. According to recent patents filed, the device will have several features including the ability to pre-charge your music on the headset, it has a microphone built in and bluetooth enabled. Although its not definite that this will be released, many tech bloggers and experts seem to feel that it would fit in great with the features of the next release of  iOS 6. As its now clear about some of this latest operating systems capabilities.  iOS 6 is likely to be released along with the iPhone 5. There is also talk of users being able to 'Like' music using the iPhone 5 and connect better through Facebook. This comes as Apple and Facebook team up together.

Another interesting addition could be the use of payment options using the i-Phone 5 as a wallet with the likes of  iTunes.  Using NFC transactions, the iWallet maybe integrated into music services and applications to purchase music etc
