People are anxiously awaiting the formal announcement from Apple with respect to the iPhone 5 release date, and this is widely expected to be announced in Summer 2012. More specifically, Apple is expected announce the iPhone 5 release date at the 2012 Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) that will take place from June 06 to June 10 in San Francisco.
Very recently, an unnamed Foxconn employee from China said that Apple was all set to commence the production of the iPhone 5, despite the fact that were various samples were still being tested out. Nonetheless, the Foxconn source claims that there are a host of common features among the smartphones being tested, including displays which measure at least 4 inches, and as well a longer and wider form factor which does not match the iPhone 4S or the previous versions. The source also goes on to state that the new smartphone’s depth hasn’t changed drastically, and that the iPhone 5 won’t be sporting a thin “teardrop shaped” back.
One of the recent reports, claiming to quotes analysts from Daiwa Securities which is Japan’s second largest securities brokerage, also confirms that the recent report leaked by the Foxconn employee that Apple was in the process of “gearing up” for a June 2012 iPhone 5 release date.
At the WWDC 2011, Steve Jobs, the then-CEO of Apple, had unveiled the brand new Mac OS X Lion operating system, iPod and iPad, the new iOS 5 mobile operating system for the iPhone, and also the iCloud platform. And in WWDC 2012, Apple could top the previous year’s performance by unveiling the long and eagerly awaited iPhone 5.
June 2010 saw the launch of the iPhone 4 and all the Apple customers who purchased it then will be having their two-year contracts coming up for renewal this summer, and this would be just the perfect time for Apple to launch a new iPhone model. The iPhone 4S which was released in October 2011 looked pretty much identical to the iPhone 4 but had numerous improvements such as a superior antenna system, a faster A5 processor, a greatly enhanced camera and also the beta AI virtual assistant Siri. It is almost certain that Apple would be looking to improve upon the features and applications in the new iPhone 5 as well.
