In the fall of this year, we may see a new iPhone terminal in the offer of the Apple company, because then it will be one year since the launch of the iPhone 4S terminal, and in general Apple launches products one year apart from each other. Last year Apple changed things because the WWDC will have OS X in the foreground and not iOS/iPhone, but this year there are very little chances that any change will take place considering that the iPhone 4S did not require a long development process. In the idea of launching a new iPhone in the fall, there are questions addressed to Foxconn employees who claim that the device will either be launched in June or will be available in October.
According to a recently published article, the paper asked the head of human resources at Foxconn's Taiyuan factory about the iPhone 5 release date. The human resources head apparently told the paper, "We just got the order. It [the release] will be around October.” The original Japanese media's report noticed that there were many Foxconn hiring notices throughout Taiyuan. The Foxconn factory that will apparently assemble the iPhone 5 is located there. The Maeil Business Newspaper reporter phoned the Foxconn factory in Taiyuan, and spoke to the H&R head. "Yes, it's true we are hiring a large number of workers," the human resources head told the paper.
Week I told you as an employer of Foxconn would have stated that the iPhone 5 will be launched in June of this year and that Foxconn employs 18.000 people to manufacture it and now we know from Foxconn's head of human resources that the device will be available in October. The chances that these people will know when the iPhone 5 will be released are very small, because generally only those in the management of the company know this and only 1-2 months before the launch, almost all the employees who produce iPhones find out. Yes, there is a good chance that the iPhone 5 will be launched in the fall, but employers and people from the human resources department are not credible sources from this point of view.
