iPhone 5 Screen 4.6 Inch with Retina Display Report Says

Once the issues The New iPad uncovered, now have new issues emerged about the arrival of the iPhone 5. A lot of rumors about iphone 5, and one of the rumors that circulated from a trusted source is about iPhone 5 screen will present bigger screen.

Apple is purportedly already placing orders with suppliers for a 4.6-inch iPhone Retina display, Reuters said today, citing a report in South Korea's Maeil Business Newspaper. The phone is due in the second quarter, according to the report.

If accurate, that would be Apple's third device with a Retina display. The others include the just-released 9.7-inch iPad and the 3.5-inch iPhone 4S.

The 960-by-640-pixel Retina display on the iPhone packs in 326 pixels per inch while the new iPad's 2,048-by-1,536-pixel screen squeezes in 264 pixels per inch.

A relatively massive--for a smartphone, that is--4.6-inch glass screen would be a big step for Apple from the 3.5-inch iPhone. A larger phone may also allow Apple to include updated chips such as the A5X. That chip's marquee feature is quad-core graphics.

By comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD has a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED screen.

Apple enthusiast site MacRumors says the likelihood of the rumor being true is low.

"There have been persistent rumors that the next generation iPhone would carry a larger 4-inch screen. And we are convinced that Apple had exactly such designs in late prototype stages in China," said MacRumors.

Indeed, there were reports before the launch of the iPhone 4S that Apple was working on an iPhone with a bigger screen. But those reports predicted a phone measuring 4.2 to 4.3 inches, not a full 4.6 inches.

This report according to Cnet News

IPhone 5 release date is October, according to interviews with the Apple Managerial

Eventually the secret of the iPhone 5 release date have been solved. From the source Bloomberg.com, GadgetPeek have quoted, that there was already a bright spot, when iPhone5 will be released.

Rumors of the iPhone 5 release date of Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 5 have been floating about the Internet since last year, but recent changes to the details of said rumors have iPhone fanatics in a frenzy. Various rumors state that the iPhone 5 will see an imminent release, but not all sources agree that the smartphone will arrive in time to be put on your holiday wish list.

According to Bloomberg.com, sources claim that "Apple plans to introduce a new iPhone in September," but there is skepticism regarding whether this new iPhone will, indeed, be the iPhone 5. In the past, Apple has released upgraded versions of a product before revealing a new, finished product to the public. This knowledge leads some to expect that Apple will follow suit again this year.

Keith Bachman, of BMO Capital Markets, told his clients that the iPhone 5 would be released in mid-2012, "leading others to believe that only a slightly upgraded iPhone 4... will launch this fall instead," according to an article submitted by PCMag.com

All hope, however, is not lost; while there are those who argue that the iPhone 5 release date will not be released this year, there are others who argue that it will be. Unnamed sources in the know claim that the iPhone 5 will be released in October this year, likely later in the month than sooner.

Jamie Bailey, a resident of Houston, TX, is looking forward to the release, whenever it might be.

"I need a new phone," said Bailey, "my iPhone 3G freezes sometimes."

Even with the occasional technical difficulties that she has with her phone, Bailey remains loyal to Apple.

"I like the fact that everything is on [the iPhone]," she said. "No matter where I go and what I'm doing, I have what I need.

Despite the confusion regarding the release date, all rumors regarding the iPhone 5 agree that the new generation will not differ much from the iPhone 4 in design. Those looking to purchase the iPhone 5, however, can anticipate the addition of a faster processor and higher resolution camera.

iPhone 5 will come with three color choices, New Comer : iPhone 5 Red

New Comer : iPhone 5 Red
Right, we just said we don’t believe the guy has what he claims to have. But he’s got something in those pictures, which even if fully fake did take a fair amount of time to come up with. And these things are often based on some sliver of lost-in-translation truth which came from someone who works on an assembly line somewhere who saw something who told someone who bragged to someone else who got the idea to use it for self-publicity purposes.

Along the way, some of the original truth about the product remains intact. Ever wonder why even when supposed product images manage to get almost everything wrong, there’s always that one odd aspect that they got right, and there’s seemingly no way they could have known about it? That’s what the red iPhone 5 image feels like here, and it’s why there’s a puncher’s chance there’s a real one coming…

Things are no longer merely black and white as the iPhone 5 will come in red. In fact you can get a red iPhone 5 right now if you pony up for it, as according to one guy on craigslist, he’s got (stolen) iPhone 5 clone units for sale right now and you can have one for a mere $250. Yeah, we don’t believe him either. Then again, we were highly skeptical when some guy claimed to have found an iPhone 4 prototype in a bar last year, and we all know how that one turned out. Let’s just say that the prospect of a red iPhone 5 is perhaps more interesting than the fact that someone is claiming to be selling iPhone 5 “clone” units which he himself is admitting aren’t even real. Even as Apple has pushed the color boundaries for years with its products like the iPod nano and even the early iMacs, for some reason the company has been content to sit back and play the follower game when it comes to iPhone colors. And this is the first, if oddball, indication that that could be about to change.

The particularly eye opening part is that the craigslist guy doesn’t even appear to know that the red iPhone 5 depicted on his supposed packaging is the biggest part of the story. If he’d made a point of creating the red iPhone 5 idea himself, it would have been so he could use it to draw attention to his claims. But instead there’s no real mention of it. That feels more like someone said to someone “oh by the way, there’s a red one too” and the person on the receiving end of that information opted to include it in the fake mockups but didn’t fully grasp the importance of that information. That’s sketchy as can be, but add it to Apple’s documented affinity for the color red and how it ties into the larger picture, and the odds go up dramatically…

A few years back, U2 lead singer Bono helped create PRODUCT RED which encouraged major corporations to make an all-red version of their existing products, charge the same price tag, and yet give a portion of the proceeds to help Africa. Apple jumped in with a red iPod nano, which it still offers to this day. But the company has never gone that route with the iPhone. The lack of iPad and iPad 2 colors is more understandable, as the eighteen different inventory models generated merely by having white and black options (multiply that by Verizon, AT&T, and wifi-only models, each at three different capacities).

No wonder Apple went with Smart Covers in various colors, then, as the alternative would have been to have hundreds of different iPad variations floating around, making for a retail and inventory nightmare. But the iPhone is a different story. There are only two iPhone 4 capacities, multiplied by black and white colors, for a total of four iPhone 4 units. Double that, of course, thanks to the Verizon and AT&T split models. But if the iPhone 5 is indeed a hybrid model which works with both carriers, then we’re back to four iPhone 5 units total. Add a red model and there are only six units; a mere five if red is reserved for just the high-end iPhone 5 model. That’s an inventory piece of cake compared to where the iPad 2 is right now…

So why wouldn’t Apple do this? Pure inertia, I guess. It’s one of those things that makes too much sense not to do, particularly if the iPhone 4 sticks around in the bargain basement in both black and white. That’ll mean that there’s no color-based incentive to upsell yourself to an iPhone 5 unless it also comes in a third color option on top of black and white. And red suits the bill for a number of reasons. It also gives the iPhone 5 a leg up over competing phones which only come in black and white, the two standard-bearer colors for most smartphones over the past several years.

So even as ludicrous as today’s craigslist “iPhone 5 clone” posting seems (please don’t buy one of those things unless you like the idea of setting $250 on fire), it’s believable that the red iPhone 5 concept depicted within that phony listing could indeed be based on nugget of well thought out truth

iPhone 5 specs and Video Review

(ilustration/google.com)

With the number of leaks that has surrounded the release of the iPhone 5, it is often hard to tell which is fact and which is fiction. Thankfully we have found a video that looks at the percentage probability for the specs of Apple’s upcoming handset, as well as its design, which we know is more of a hot topic than the hardware. We say this because the fifth-generation iPhone can only go so far with its hardware, but it is how it looks that seems to be of the most interest now.

Sticking with this, it seems as though there is a 40 percent likelihood that the new smartphone will have an increased resolution. You might be interested to know that a white iPhone 5 should be launched from the start, as French site Nowhereelse.fr has given it a 100 percent probability. Now on to the camera, the chances of increased megapixles is 80 percent and 50 percent for Full HD 1080p recording.

The idea that the iPhone 5 will keep the same design only has a 30 percent probability, but 70 percent for a new design, which means that this being a minor update looks to be untrue. There have been a number of rumors that suggest that there will now be a low-cost iPhone, and there is an 80 percent chance that the iPhone 4 will be it.

With all the news that Apple had purchased machines to make curved glass it seems fitting that it has a 40 percent prospect of making it to the design of the iPhone 5. We had assumed that NFC would not make it into the new iPhone, so how come there is a 40 percent possibility of it being included in the hardware then?

Voice controls have always been an issue with the current and previous version of the iPhone, so you will be happy to know that enhanced voice controls has an 80 percent probability. We know that the new handset will come with the A5 processor and more than likely increased RAM, but we are a little shocked that there is only a 30 percent chance of an improved battery, which means that it will be down to iOS 5 to do some clever power management. The only thing to get a 100 percent probability is that the iPhone 5 will be announced in September and available between September and October.

Here is iPhone 5 specs Video Review

iPhone 5 battery leak
Since there has been no leaked iPhone 5 this time around – or nobody is willing to pay good money for a lost/stolen iPhone 5 (after what happened to Gizmodo) the iPhone rumour world is clasping onto any little snippet of information.

This evening that information comes from iPhone parts supplier TVC Mall, who has posted images of what it claims to be iPhone battery, camera lens, and earphone audio jack flex cable.

Mac Rumours shows the apparent new parts in comparison to MacFixIt's photographs of the same parts in the iPhone 4. There are very superficial changes between the different units. The so called iPhone 5 battery is a similar shape to the iPhone 4 battery, the main difference being that the specifications listed on the label 3.7V and 5.3Whr on the new battery, while the iPhone 4 part is 3.7V and 5.25Whr, a very minimal change.

The camera module for the back camera also closely resembles iPhone 4's camera, although the flash unit is further away.

Know what is the advantages IOS 5, Read this

Apple will soon launch a new operating system in iPhone 5 product. iPhone 5 issued will soon be released in September 2011. On the iPhone 5 will use the iOS 5 as operating system.

You may ask what is the advantages iOS 5 compared to previous versions and with other brands. iOS 5 couse have some the advantages, here the advantages of iOS 5:

iOS 5 Will Make Photos Faster and More Fun

The new developer beta of  iOS 5 released last weekend contained a number of new image filters that should let developers manipulate photos much more quickly and easily. That means if you're an iPhone owner, you can expect to see a wealth of new, cheap, photo editing tools for iPhone and iPad. The new effects are part of the iOS 5's Core Image framework, which is designed to make image processing easier on the platform.

The new programming tools will certainly be of use to developers. Even without these new effects and frameworks provided by iOS 5, the iPhone already is the most popular camera on Flickr. This popularity is, at least in part, due to the great photo editing apps that are already available for the iPhone. For instance, popular photo filter app Instragram hit 150 million photos recently in under a year.

However, thus far most of these apps had to create ad hoc solutions with the Core Graphics framework to manipulate photos since iOS didn't have the tools to handle image processing on its own. While that has produced some spectacular effects, creating custom photo filters is also a relatively difficult and complicated task for developers that has discouraged new apps.

The Instagram logoWhile Core Image may make it easier to create competitors for apps like Instagram or Hipstamatic, Developers will also be able to use the new tools in Core Image to stay in the lead.

A more likely possibility is that other app developers will start to integrate photo manipulation into existing social apps like Flickr or Fourquare so you won't need to switch apps or fiddle with your phone the next time you want to upload a photo to Facebook or another social service.

iOS 5 is expected to be released sometime this fall and, thanks to the developer beta that's currently in progress, we can expect a deluge of photo filter apps to follow soon after.

iOS 5 will be a platform much more "social" if it is to earlier versions. Among other features, we can now tweet photos without leaving the camera application, showing where we are and any comments regarding the photo. The same can be done from YouTube or Safari.

Safari, Apple's browser, was also much improved for this release. Now you can save news to read later with included synchronization with other devices, an ideal choice to save a story in the iPhone 4 fastened while riding the subway and then read it in the quiet home iPad 2 Moreover it will enable tabbed browsing "traditional" as with Firefox , Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Update :

iOS 5 know Issues

Apple has just seeded the new beta version of  iOS 5 to developers. This comes after Apple suspended developers accounts which their owners was selling access to iOS 5 Beta.

NOTES AND KNOW ISSUES

The following issues relate to using the 5.0 SDK to develop code.

Accounts

When creating an iCloud account, you can use any Apple ID as long as it is a full email address and not a MobileMe account. If you have a MobileMe account, you can move that account to iCloud. You can find more information on iCloud at: http://developer.apple.com/icloudWhen setting up an iCloud or MobileMe account using the setup assistant and leaving Find My iPhone on, it might actually turn Find my iPhone off after the setup. Please verify in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/YourAccount that Find my iPhone is toggled On after leaving the setup assistant. NEW: Enabling iCloud services in Setup Assistant may not always be saved correctly. After completing Setup Assistant you should visit Settings > iCloud to verify the state of the iCloud account. If you have multiple iCloud or MobileMe accounts configured on the device you should also visit each of those accounts in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar to verify each account.

 It is recommended that you disable Bookmarks on multiple accounts. If they are enabled, the results might be undefined. 

AirPlay

Starting in iOS 5, video content in applications and websites are AirPlay-enabled by default.iOS 5 supports AirPlay of video via AV Foundation.
 Apple TVApple TV Software beta enables users to mirror the contents of an iPad 2 to an Apple TV (2nd generation) using AirPlay. This beta software also enables Photo Stream on Apple TV so users can access photos stored in iCloud. Apple TV Software beta is being provided to test the latest AirPlay functionality with your iOS 5 apps and web sites. If you wish to install Apple TV Software beta on your device, you must first register your device UDID in the iOS Developer Program Portal. 

Calendar

Birthday calendars are not currently available via the icloud.com website or in Windows. They will be available in a future release. NEW: The default calendar is still the On My iPhone calendar despite setting up an iCloud account during Setup Assistant. As a workaround, reset the default Calendar after finishing Setup Assistant in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Default Calendar. NEW: Pushing iCloud Calendar data is not working in iOS. To sync your iCloud Calendar, launch the Calendar app or refresh the calendars manually using the Calendars button in the top left corner. 

Core Image

Several filters have been added since beta 1.Match data for turn based matches is currently limited to 4 KB of data. NEW: When logging in to Game Center, the password may clear and login may not complete. Trying a second time will succeed. NEW: In this beta, GameKit Invites may fail. As a workaround, try restarting the device.

 iBooksi

Books 1.2.2 may fail to display some text or images in books. Please update to iBooks 1.3 in the App Store. 

iCloud Backup

As this is beta software, it is recommended that you do not use the iCloud services to store any critical data or information. If you enable iCloud Backup, automatic backup with iTunes when syncing will be disabled. We also suggest that you manually back up your device with iTunes. Backups made with earlier versions of iOS 5 beta will soon become incompatible, and will no longer be available. It is strongly advised you upgrade to this version of the iOS 5 beta in order to continue backing up your devices. If you encounter errors restoring from a backup, or enabling a backup more than one hour after signing into iCloud, try deleting your iCloud account from Settings and adding it back. If errors persist, please try erasing your device and initiating the restore again. 

iCloud Storage

During the iOS 5 beta period, any documents stored on the servers might be purged periodically before GM. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you do not store any critical documents or information on the servers. NEW: Provisioning Profiles no longer need to be enabled for iCloud in the iOS Provisioning Portal. All newly generated provisioning profiles are now automatically enabled for iCloud. If you are using an Xcode managed Team Provisioning Profile, click refresh in the Xcode Organizer to obtain a new iCloud-enabled profile. To enable all other provisioning profiles for iCloud, simply regenerate your profiles in the iOS Provisioning Portal. If your application is using the NSMetadataQuery class, you must set a predicate, even though the predicate itself is ignored. In this beta, the setSortDescriptors: method of NSMetadataQuery is not supported. FIXED: To use iCloud prior to beta 5, you had to manually specify various container identifiers (your application’s Display set) within an Entitlements file for both of your Mac OS X and iOS projects.Starting in beta 5, to enable iCloud storage within your apps, simply click the “Enable Entitlements” checkbox in the Summary pane of your project. Xcode will create a custom entitlements file for your project that automatically includes your Team ID. You can add additional iCloud Container values as required by your application. (Note that you must regenerate your existing provisioning profiles, either with Xcode or in the iOS Provisioning Portal, to use iCloud storage.) If you specify a custom identifier string for your iCloud Key-Value Store or iCloud Container entitlement values, you no longer need to prepend your Team ID to the beginning of the string. Xcode will prepend your Team ID to these entries automaticallyThe container identifier string you pass to the URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: method of NSFileManager MUST include the team ID at the beginning of the string. As a convenience, if you pass nil, Foundation uses the first document container ID specified in your app’s entitlements.There are issues using the Cloud Storage document API in conjunction with protected data which can lead to data corruption. FIXED: In this beta, document-based applications cannot always detect when files change, move, or are deleted out from underneath them. In this beta, file presenters (objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol) do not receive some of the messages that they’re supposed to receive, especially: presentedItemDidChangepresentedSubitemDidAppearAtURL:presentedSubitemDidChangeAtURL: You can workaround this by implementing the relinquishPresentedItemToWriter: method and checking to see if the writer actually wrote when your file presenter reacquires. You can also use FSEvents to observe file system changes In this beta, messages about changes to files in a directory are not getting delivered to objects that adopt the NSFilePresenter protocol. While reporting a bug related to the iCloud storage interfaces, please include the logs collected during your debugging session. To generate these logs, you must install a special debug profile on your device.The debug profile can be obtained from http://connect.apple.com. This profile enables the generation of debug logs that are needed to diagnose any problems using iCloud storage. The instructions to collect the logs are: Install the profile. (The easiest way to do this is to mail it to yourself and open the attachment on their device.) 

Reproduce the bug.

Sync with iTunes to pull the logs off your device.Attach the logs to your bug report. You can find the logs in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/DiagnosticLogs.These logs can grow large very quickly, so you should remove the profile after you have reproduced the problem and pulled the logs for the bug report. NEW: File names are case-insensitive in OS X but case-sensitive in iOS. This can lead to problems when syncing files between the two. You should take steps on iOS to avoid creating files whose names differ only by case. 

iMessagei

Message beta 1 will be unable to communicate with iMessage users on beta 2 or later.iPod NEW: When using the volume buttons on the device, or on headphones, the volume slider in the UI of applications may not update even though the volume level has changed. 

iTunes

The version of iTunes that comes with beta 5 cannot sync devices that have the beta 4 software installed. To avoid this problem, do the following: Sync any devices that have beta 4 installed to the version of iTunes that came with beta 4.Upgrade iTunes to the version that comes with beta 5. Connect the device and install the beta 5 software. (Understand that you might see a failure to sync error when you first connect the device.) After installing the beta 5 software, restore from your the backup you made in step 1.Videos purchased from the iTunes Store do not play on a 2nd generation AppleTV over AirPlay with iTunes 10.5. 

Location

FIXED: The startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges method of CLLocationManager does not cause applications to be resumed or launched in the background for significant location change updates. However, if a backup from a previous software version (where an application was monitoring significant location changes) is restored to the device, significant location change monitoring will continue to cause that application to be resumed or launched in the background. 

Mail

FIXED: Forwarding a message with attachments included does not attach the file and the message compose screen does not change from “Loading….” NEW: When changing the host name of an email account in settings, blank messages may be seen in the unified inbox. As a workaround, delete and re-add the account instead of changing its host name. Music LibraryFIXED: Some songs are missing their album artwork after changing the device library via syncing. 

OpenGL ES

FIXED: In iOS 5.0 beta 4, several OpenGL ES extensions have been moved from the APPLE namespace to the EXT namespace, causing some API to be renamed. The altered extensions are EXT_color_buffer_half_float,EXT_occlusion_query_boolean, EXT_separate_shader_objects, EXT_shadow_samplers, EXT_texture_rg, EXT_debug_label, and EXT_debug_marker. 

OTA Software Update

If you are doing an OTA software update, you will need to re-sync your photos with iTunes.” 

Personal HotSpot

FIXED: In this beta, iPhone 4 device cannot join personal hotspot even if it is on due to a non functional Wi-Fi tethering on these devices. PhotosFIXED: If you apply red-eye adjustments in iOS, and import your image into the iPhoto seed build, the red-eye adjustments will not appear on that image in iPhoto. As a result, subsequent syncing of your image back to the iOS device from iPhoto will not show the red-eye adjustments. NEW: When restoring photo libraries from an iTunes backup, some photos may not appear in the Photos application after restore. Please back up your photos before updating to iOS Beta 5. 

Simulator

Location services are not functional in iOS 4.3 simulator running on Mac OS 10.7 with Xcode 4.2. 

Springboard

Push and local notifications for apps appear in the new Notification Center in iOS 5. Notification Center displays notifications that are considered “unread.” In order to accommodate push and local notifications that have no “unread” status, developers can use their application badge count to trigger a clearing of notifications from Notification Center. When an application clears its badge count (by setting it to zero), iOS 5 will clear its notifications from Notification Center. FIXED: iOS 5.0 terminates VoIP applications that are resumed in the background for incoming network traffic with extreme frequency. Developers are encouraged to make sure all incoming data is read from VoIP sockets to avoid this condition. NEW: The UIPrerenderedIcon key (in the Info.plist file) is not honored in this build. 

StoreKit

NEW: In-App purchase will not work for developers testing their apps with the iTunes Sandbox. Twitter FIXED: When tweeting your location from Safari and exiting before the location can be established, the location arrow will stay in the status bar. The arrow can be removed by killing Safari from the task switcher. 

UI Automation

FIXED: Instruments overwrites the loaded automation script, even if another program is editing it. FIXED: The play and record buttons in the Automation instrument script editor may not work properly after targeting an application that was launched by a trace session and has ended. They may also not work if you target an application that was suspended. If you run into this problem and it persists, you may need to close and reopen the trace document to get back into a functional state. FIXED: When capturing actions into a script using the Automation instrument, interfaces with web views or table cells that contain a high number of off screen elements may take an extremely long time before returning with an expression. The lock () and unlock () functions of UIATarget have been replaced with the lockForDuration () function. Starting in iOS 5 beta 2, you can now trigger the execution of an UI Automation script on an iOS device from the host terminal by using the instruments tool. The command is:

instruments -w -t

When using the cli instruments for UI Automation you can now target the default Automation Template and pass the script and results path into the tool as environment variable options. For example:instruments -w -t /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Instruments/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate -e UIASCRIPT

Apple iPhone 5, The Very Extraordinary Compared To Previous Versions Will Soon In Release By Apple

Apple was always, give a surprise to the public. Lately, Apple dominated the market of technological innovation gadgets. We still enjoy a work of Apple products, unfinished suddenly appeared again a new product that is more challenging. So there are always rumors of a new born on the works of the Apple. Currently its flagship product is the iPhone, iPad, iPod and MacBook. This time the rumors that came up was the appearance of the iPhone 5. Woww .. !

Will the iPhone 5 resemble its predecessor, the iPhone 4?

In a big change from the previous three events, Apple's 2011 Worldwide Developers Conference didn't reveal new iPhone hardware. Sure, attendees got details of iOS 5 at the June 6 keynote address, but true iPhone fans also left the session without any hint of what a new handset might offer or when it would arrive.

With Apple devices in particular, the rumor mill tends to kick into high gear in the absence of any official announcement. And that's certainly been the case with the iPhone 5. The first gossip started to trickle in even as the iPhone 4 went on sale last year, but as summer has droned on that trickle has become a flood. Some of the rumors contradict each other--one camp suggests a minor update with an iPhone 4S, while another predicts a big update with an iPhone 5 but disagreement, after all, often is what the rumor mill is all about. And since conflicting information can be hard to track, we offer this handy timeline of iPhone 5 rumors so far in 2011. We'll add to it as we go along, and please let us know if we've left any juicy tidbits out.

China Telecom to get two new iPhones?

A report by China-based Sohu.com says Apple and China Telecom have reached a "preliminary agreement" to start selling the iPhone before the end of October. And it's not just any iPhone, it's rumored to be the iPhone 5 alongside a "simplified" iPhone 4.

August 3

10 million handsets in September

Taiwian's DigiTimes says that Pegatron will produce 10 million iPhone 5 units. According to an unnamed source, the handsets will ship to Apple in September, which would pave the way for a release any time after that.

August 2

iPhone 5 out for testing

The Guardian (U.K.) reports that wireless carriers have received highly secure boxes containing iPhone 5s that the operators are using to test network compatibility.

No vacations for you

Gizmodo cites an e-mail allegedly from an AT&T employee, which says that the carrier is denying any vacations requested during the last two weeks of September "due to an event blackout." According to the employee, the only other times vacations were denied in the past were during iPhone release periods.

Or maybe in October

Going the other direction, a story on AllThingsD quotes a source "with knowledge of the plans" who says, "I don't know why AT&T's calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it's not for an iPhone launch." Instead, the source says that the next iPhone will come in October.

July 28

A white iPhone 4S

In a rather convoluted tale, Mac Rumors highlighted a forum post from Vietnamese site Tinhte that claims to have a new version of the iPhone 4. Differences between the new version and the current handset are few, but Tinhte says it's a bit faster, it weighs less, and it has a plastic shell instead of glass.

4 million iPhones in September

China Times reports that Apple will produce 4 million new iPhones for release in the second week of September.

A new case for a new design

U.K. blog Mobile Fun receives new iPhone case designs from two manufacturers. They point to a major redesign that includes a larger screen and home button, and a curved back.

July 26

AT&T and Apple get to work

MacRumors reports that Apple is bringing back former employees to work part-time between August 15 and September 15. Though that time period coincides with the back-to-school season, it also falls within the long-rumored early September iPhone release window. Also, according to Boy Genius Report, AT&T is preparing its employees for more foot traffic at its stores in September. A source told the blog that the carrier has asked its managers and employees to finish any current training as soon as possible.

July 13

Now hiring for an August iPhone

After some clever detective work, CNET UK finds a job posting repeated throughout the United Kingdom that asks for "Apple iPhone Sales Specialists" to work in Apple retail stores. The temporary positions would last from mid-August through the end of October and would be for what the recruiter describes as "an exciting project."

July 6

Suppliers get their orders

Anonymous sources tell The Wall Street Journal that Apple has asked suppliers to build 25 million units of its next iPhone by August for a third-quarter launch.

July 5

15 million in September

DigiTimes reports that Apple has placed an order for 15 million iPhone 5s for a September release.

July 1

Both an iPhone 4 and an iPad 3

DigiTimes says that suppliers are gearing up to help Apple produce millions of units of both an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3 for an October release.

June 29

A modest update

BMO Capital analyst Keith Bachman claims in a note to investors that Apple will introduce just an iPhone 4S model in September. The iPhone 4S would include only modest feature upgrades and the design would be unchanged.

June 27

Two new iPhones to come

Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore predicts that Apple will introduce two iPhones later this year. The first will be a full next-generation handset (most likely an iPhone 5), while the second will be a revamped iPhone 4 (probably called an iPhone 4S) that Apple will target to customers on prepaid cell phone plans.

A third-quarter release

Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty said that Apple will start "aggressively" making the next iPhone in August and launch the handset late in the third quarter of this year. Huberty made the remarks after a trip to Taiwan where she presumably met with Apple suppliers.

June 24

A brighter flash

DigiTimes says the iPhone 5 will have a dual-LED flash.

June 22

Again, in September

Bloomberg reports that the new iPhone will have a faster A5 processor, an 8-megapixel camera, and support for iOS 5. The new handset will sport a design similar to the iPhone 4's and will be released in September to coincide with iOS 5's debut. On a related note, Bloomberg's source also repeats a rumor that Apple is developing a cheaper iPhone for developing countries.

June 21

An iPhone 5 in full September

The Boy Genius Report predicts that Apple will announce the fully revamped iPhone 5 in early August with a release date later in the month. If true, that timing would bend from tradition, given that Apple usually holds an iPod-themed event in September.

A global iPhone for Verizon

While speaking at the Reuters Global Technology Summit, Verizon Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo says that Big Red will carry the next iPhone and that it will "operate in as many countries as AT&T's global iPhone." Shammo's comments also suggest that the device won't have LTE.

An iPhone 4S

May 13

Small changes, but on all carriers

Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek says the next iPhone will show only incremental changes and will lack support for 4G LTE networks. Besides a few cosmetic tweaks, he predicts better cameras, an A5 dual-core processor, and support for HSPA+ networks. Though he says the new device could land at all four major U.S. carriers beginning in September, Misek likens the upgrade to what we saw from the iPhone 3G to the 3GS.

April 19

A5 processor and a bigger camera

Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the device will get an A5 processor and a much-improved 8-megapixel rear camera and that it will be released in October or November.

April 11

Trouble with suppliers

AppleInsider quotes an Avian Securities note to investors, which suggests that production will start in September. According to the note, the latest information is "consistent with other findings the organization has heard in recent months." What's more, another rumor mentions that Apple is taking its time finding enough parts suppliers.

A bigger display, part four

A new Apple patent application depicts a screen that's built into the area surrounding the traditional touch screen. This could free up space on the main display, and open up new directions for developers.

An October release

A Japanese blog reports that because Apple is behind schedule on securing parts, the iPhone 5 launch could be pushed to October. The blog also says the company is deciding whether to change the back of the iPhone from glass to metal.

NFC, larger display, and a new antenna

China Times claims the iPhone 5 will have a slightly larger screen, a Near Field Communications (NFC) chip, an A5 processor, and a tweaked antenna design to address attenuation. The release date is only set as "later this year."

NFC confirmed

The same day, The New York Times confirms that future iPhones will have an NFC chip.

A bigger display, part three

Reseller iDealsChina posts a "mold engineering" drawing that vendors use to develop iPhone accessories. The drawing shows a handset with an iPhone 4-like design but with a larger display.

March 9

A5 processor, part two

In a deep dive of the new iOS 4.3 code, Apple developers found signs that Apple may add an A5 dual-core processor in the next iPhone version. That would put the handset on par with the iPad 2's processing power.

March 7

Looking like the iPad

Design is the focus of this rumor, which suggests that Apple will ditch the glass backing on the iPhone 4 for a metal backing, revamp the antenna, and add tapered ends. The end result will be something like the iPad.

February 28

A bigger display, part two

iDealsChina posts a photo of an iPhone 5 front bezel that shows a larger display.

A5 processor

The A5 chip rumor is raised again when DigiTimes reports that Apple is outsourcing the production of the processor, which will be based on the ARM Cortex A9 design.

February 14

A bigger display

Speculation builds that the new handset will offer a 4-inch, "edge-to-edge" display. The reports suggest that the move would be a direct response to the display design of many Android devices.

Slide-out keyboard

We also hear that the iPhone 5 could offer a slide-out keyboard or that it could just offer longer battery life and a better camera.

January 14

No home button

An anonymous Apple source told the Boy Genius Report that both the iPad 2 and the next-generation iPhone would lose their home buttons in favor of gesture-based commands that would be part of iOS 4.3.

Apple iPhone 5 Issue, iPhone 5 Price, Specification And iPhone 5 In US And Canada

iPhone 5 in Canada and China

Leaked Info Indicates October Release in Canada and China

It has been reported this week by BGR (BoyGeniusReport), the well known tech blog, that leaked documents form Telus, a big Canadian telecommunication company, indicate an October 1st release date for the long expected iPhone 5 In Canada.

If we look at previous iPhone introductions, Apple has launched a new device in US and Canada both at the same time, and in the US first, then Canada second. Taking this into consideration, the September launch date that we were talking about in earlier articles might still be true for the US.

The leaked list that includes the Canadian iPhone 5 launch date also seems to include release dates for several other gadgets. These dates look to be accurate, as they are confirmed by many other trusted sources. This means that October 1st might actually be the Canadian release date.

Apple has previously launched their newest smartphones on a Thursday or a Friday but, because Saturday is statistically the busiest day for cellphone stores, a Saturday release is not out of the question.

Rumors that appeared on Sohu, a large Chinese search engine company, talk about the agreement between China Telecom and Apple to introduce the newest iPhone and a budget version of the current iPhone this October. The budged smartphone will be a cheaper version of the current device, which will target a larger customer base in developing countries.

iPhone 5 Price :

Stores Reducing Prices for Current iPhone, Expecting the iPhone 5

It looks like some stores are getting ready for the new Apple smartphone by reducing prices on current iPhone 4 models. Radio Shack is offering the 16GB version for $169.99 and the 32GB version for $269.99. Target is also running a promotion, listing the 16GB model for $149.99 and the 32GB model for $249.99, as well as the 3GS for only $19.99. Both stores offer a $100 credit towards the purchase of the iPhone 4 with the trade in of a previous model.

New rumors come out every day and it’s hard to decide which ones to believe, but when retailers start slashing their prices, it is a good indication that an upgrade is on the way. While we constantly read new and most times conflicting info about the release date, one thing is certain: the iPhone 5 will be released soon, more and more news are starting to point towards that.

iPhone 5 Release Date Predictions

Not patient to hold the iPhone 5 ? When is the iPhone 5 release date ?

As the cadre of would-be iPhone 5 buyers turned to Steve Jobs for answers on its release date, he simply shrugged and talked about how great its software features are going to be once it shows up.

His hype-fest merely served to ratchet up expectations and thus excitement for the next generation iPhone 5 while failing to give any real hint as to when it’s coming. As such, the question we get asked most often, “When is the iPhone 5 release date?”, is being asked even more frequently than when the week began.

The answer: we don’t know. And neither does anyone else outside of Apple’s innermost posse. But here are five scenarios for its release, along with the realistic odds of each and the corresponding impact.

iPhone 5 Release Date :Very soon.

The theory: Apple didn’t unveil the iPhone 5 this week because it wanted iOS 5 and the iCloud to get all the attention. Apple will hold a press conference next week and announce the iPhone 5 on its own. The reality: Not bloody likely. Why would Apple do something so strange?

iPhone 5 Release Date : August.

The theory: iOS 5 needs beta testing and developer lead time, and Apple doesn’t want to roll out the iPhone 5 until iOS 5 is ready. Announcing the iPhone 5 this week would have hurt iPhone 4 and 3GS sales in the mean time, so it decided to hold off. The reality: Sounds reasonable…

iPhone 5 Release Date : September.

The theory: see the above scenario, except Apple decides to use its traditional early September iPress Conference to launch the iPhone 5. The reality: Feels like the most likely scenario.

iPhone 5 Release Date : Just before the holidays.

The theory: Something about the iPhone 5 and/or iOS 5 is running late, and we mean late. But Apple is determined to get it to market before the holidays, so it’ll surface sometime not too long before November’s Black Friday shopping season launch. The reality: You’re getting colder. If Apple really were going to need to leave the iPhone 5 hanging for that long, it likely would have done some sort of interstitial model in the mean time. But such a model would have been unleashed at WWDC, and it wasn’t…

iPhone 5 Release Date : Doomsday 2012.

The theory: Apple decides to leave the iPhone 4 as the current model for more than a year and a half, unleashing the iPhone 5 in February of 2012 or so. The reality: aside from fouling up the iPad 3 launch, waiting this long for the iPhone 5 would be too poor of an idea for Apple to even be considering, particularly in light of the fact that it just unveiled iOS 5 which will apparently be ready for public release within months.

Do you really see a scenario in which Apple either A) releases iOS 5 this year for the iPhone 4 but with no iPhone 5 in tow, or B) has unveiled iOS 5 now but with no intention to release it until the iPhone 5 is ready next year? Either scenario evokes the phrase “epic fail.” These are both nonsensical, which is why we expect to see the iPhone 5 this year. And because Apple almost never releases major new hardware any later in the year than early September, we’re betting on that scenario above.
