iPHONE 5 LATEST UPDATE | DELAY FOR LAUNCH OF IPHONE 5

iPhone 5 Launch Delayed Due To Apple A5 CPU Overheating

Since WWDC 2011, when everyone was expecting to see the new iPhone 5, the rumors about the next-gen Apple smartphone have invaded the webolgs. Some of them seem plausible, while other are just fiction.

Apple’s iPhone 5 Available

A recent report by analyst ChrisLarsen says that the next-gen iPhone will be available on all four major carriers in the US including T-Mobile and Sprint. The iPhone 4 which was launched last year, has become the first iPhone to run on the 3G networks of two carriers in the US when Apple released a Verizon version earlier this year. Now a new iPhone is getting ready for its release and it seems like we will get only one iPhone that’s capable of supporting all carriers in the US.

Piper Jaffray’s analysts said that the current Qualcomm chipset responsible with the GSM / CDMA support is compatible with all the frequency bands of AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint therefore it would be logical for Apple to release an iPhone for all carriers.

Currently, the US market is dominated by Android smartphones which have a 38% market share, while iOS devices have a market share around 25%. If Apple finally decides to unveil an iPhone that would be compatible with all networks, then the company will have access to the same amount of subscribers like Android devices therefore the market share will definitely increase.

Analysts say that nobody can be sure about the specs of the next iPhone that might be called iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S. People familiar with the matter have said that both the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S will be released this year, the former will be a high-end handset, while the latter is a middle-entry mobile phone.

Even though the specs haven’t been confirmed, we can assume that the iPhone 5 will be powered by a dual-core up to 1GHz Apple A5 processor, iOS5, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, a 4-inch touchscreen, and 32GB / 64GB built-in flash memory.

The Piper Jaffray analyst wanted to remind everyone that the upcoming iPhone will definitely be a global aka a world’s smartphone which practically confirms the fact there will be only one iPhone for all carriers. This would explain why Apple will not allow users to restore SHSH blobs meaning that they won’t be able to downgrade and that all iPhones will be unlocked.

Sadly the report doesn’t specify whether the iPhone 5 will support 4G LTE, WiMAX, or HSPA+ networks of the carriers therefore we can only think that it won’t. The iPhone 5 release date is probably September 2011 during the annual Apple iPod event.

Apple Places Order To Pegatron For 15 Million iPhone 5 Units

Ever since iOS 5 was revealed at WWDC 2011 in June, everyone expected that the new iPhone 5 to follow the new operating system version. We’ve seen two beta versions of iOS 5 so far, but no sign of iPhone 5.

There were a lot of rumors around regarding iPhone 5specs and release date, and yesterday we told you thatthe companies supplying parts for Apple are getting ready for iPhone 5 debut in September.

It seems that the rumors were not fiction as today, Digitimes announced Apple have requested Pegatron (their partner) to deliver not less than 15 million iPhone 5units which will be shipped out starting September.

Sources inside Pegatron claim that the new iPhone is like a minor update to iPhone 5, so the new Apple device would probably be an iPhone 4 with some improved specs and no design change. The delivery date for the terminals is in September, when is said that Apple will host a conference where they will present the final version of iOS 5 and the new iPhone smartphone.

The guys at Pegatron are now producing the CDMA version of iPhone 4, but it seems that the next iPhonedevice will be built by Pegatron in both GSM and CDMA versions. Rumor has it that iPhone 4S/5 will come with a dual core A5 processor, just like iPad 2, 3.5-inch display, iOS 5, and a GPU borrowed from iPad 2, 5/8MP camera, which will be able to record full HD videos.

Basically, the new iPhone will be what iPhone 3GS was for iPhone 3G: more power under the hood, but no change of looks.

Anyway it seems like Apple really knows how to keep a secret and make us anxious to see their latest smartphone, so it’s a little bit early to make speculations on how the new iPhone will look or what it will pack under the case. Even so, stay in touch as we will keep you up to date with the latest news about iPhone 5.
