Release Rumors
Hang on to your hats, because there's another rumored release date for Apple's next-generation iPhone.
The latest comes from the China Times, which says that Apple plans to produce 4 million units of the device following a production run of 400,000 test units. That's all to ready the device for a release in the second week of September.According to 9to5mac the highly anticipated iPhone 5 is set for release this coming September (probably 6-15th) and that the iPad 3 launch will be delayed due to component issues, and is to follow this coming fall. Apparently, the new September 6 to 15 rumor is the newest version of the older “September 5″ rumor circulating on the internet because it’s impossible for Apple to release a phone on an American holiday.
The display
Mobile Fun, a British mobile-phone blog, has posted images of what it says is the design for a next-generation iPhone case leaked "from a Chinese case manufacturer."
Among them: what appears to be a larger, roughly 4-inch display screen, a curved rear panel more like earlier iPhones than the iPhone 4, and a hole on the back -- about where the Apple logo is on current phones. Some Apple observers speculate that hole indicates a possible new location for the device's antenna, replacing the iPhone 4's much maligned side antenna.
Although the iPhone 5 rumors are piling up, we still don’t have a date for when the new device will actually appear. The gossip site MacRumors reported Wednesday on a prediction that the next-gen handset could appear the second week in September, but Steve Jobs hasn’t portentously booked the Moscone Center for any announcements (yet).
