The hidden iPhone 5 release date is in plain sight if you know which cloud to look behind, but now Apple’s iCloud casts a shadow on another buzzing question regarding the next iPhone model. Somewhere, in some dark closet at the end of a dark hallway in Cupertino, Apple has a figurative date circled on its calendar for when it plans to release the iPhone 5 on the unsuspecting public; it merely hasn’t chosen to reveal that date publicly yet.

Nearly lost amid all the buzz over when the iPhone 5 will arrive, what it’ll look like, and whether it’ll offer new-school features like 4G and NFC is the long-running question of when the iPhone will finally see parity with the iPad and even the iPod touch when it comes to internal storage capacity. The iPad 2 and iPod touch 4 have been sitting pretty at 64 gigabytes for awhile, and now the iPhone 5 faces the proverbial 64 gigabyte question: will it finally catch up? The issue becomes more intriguing when considering the way in which Apple’s new iCloud works.

In theory, the “cloud” could have been all about having all your data store on a remote server farm instead of on any of your local devices, and merely tapping into your own data remotely every time you go to use any of those devices. But that’s not realistic in 2011 or any time soon considering the current state of mobile networks and other factors.

And so Apple’s cloud implementation handles music by simply pushing a song out to all your devices automatically when you add it to any of them. So what does this have to do with the iPhone 5? iCloud more or less now adds all your new music to your iPhone as soon as you add it to your computer, which means that your iPhone is about to get fuller a lot faster. Rather than choosing which songs to sync to your iPhone via a cable, they’ll all go onto your iPhone automatically unless say otherwise or remove them.

And fuller iPhones means more users suddenly having an issue with the fact that the iPhone 4 was capped at 32 gigabytes even as Apple’s other iProducts offered double that on the high end. And so now, the question of whether the iPhone 5 will make the jump to sixty-four gigabytes and make life more comfortable for those who want to take full advantage of iCloud, or whether the iPhone 5 will reach its release date with the same meager 32 GB as last year’s model. Here’s more on the iPhone 5.
