Press agency Reuters announced an hour ago that certain sources close to Apple's partners announced that production for the iPhone 5 will begin in July, following that the device will be presented and launched in September. Reuters announces that the iPhone 5 will have the same design as the iPhone 4, the only differences being at the hardware and software level where we will have the new A5 chip plus news brought by iOS 5. The idea regarding the similarity with the iPhone 4 is not new and from my point of view it as real as possible because I witnessed a similar situation when the iPhone 3GS was launched.
The new smartphone will have a faster processor but will look largely similar to the current iPhone 4, one of the people said. They declined to be identified because the plans were not yet public.
The companies would begin production either in July or August before shipping components to Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, flagship of Foxconn Technology Group, for assembly, they said.
Yesterday submitted a possible iPhone 5 prototype that looks exactly like the iPhone 4, the only differences being that it had a different iOS, possibly iOS 5, and a storage capacity of 64GB. Considering that iPhone 5 will not have new design elements, why would Apple want to postpone the launch? Why ruin all his plans with a release in the fall when he could do this directly from the summer if all he changes in the iPhone 5 is only the A5 chip? All the information so far indicates the launch in the fall and only at WWDC 2011 we will see if Apple will disappoint us or not.
