Facebook's current iOS app is not very good. Many complained that it is slow and lagging. Moreover, it sometimes shuts down. Thus, this is good news to those who like to check with their Facebook friends from time to time.

Despite the aforementioned advantages of the Facebook integration with the highly anticipated handset, there are a lot of concerns surrounding the collaboration of the two top tech companies. The prime concern is about poor privacy. Many third party applications request to post automatically and even store some of the personal information of the user.

Another concern is it might slow down the process of the apps that require a sign up such as Spotify and Instagram.

There is also a rumor that the next generation of iPhone will be released in June. However, other rumors say that iPhone 5 will be released in October 2012, which will sport the same screen size; support 4G LTE like the new iPad 3 and will come with a new micro dock connector.

As expected from the Cupertino-based company, it did not confirm any of the rumors surrounding the new iPhone and we may not hear from the company until the launch.
