The iPhone 5 rumour mill is in full swing this morning after reports that the much-anticipated device will go into production this July, for shipping in September.
With the sale of the white iPhone 4 anticipated [1] this week, the focus is now to the next version of the handset, which, according to a Reuters report last night, will be on the shelves in early autumn [2]. The insiders who leaked the news declined to be identified though, as plans are not yet public. Oops.
These details go against previous claims that those waiting for an iPhone 5 [3] would have to do so until 2012.
According to AppleInsider reports earlier this week, the iPhone 6 will see a 2012 release and it surmises the iPhone 5 is more an iPhone 4GS [4] rather than heralding a whole new generation of handset. That would back up the design in some of the 'engineering schematics' [5] that surfaced last month too. 4in edge-to-edge display? 12Mp camera?
Official details are expected June 6-10, at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. Until then, the speculation continues... ®
