Cheap iPhone 5 gets new Rumor Fuel
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
The rumor about Apple releasing a new cheap iPhone to battle Android on the low-end is not dying. There was quite some intensity to the budget iPhone rumor end of June when an analyst laid out the possibility of a $350 pre-paid iPhone. Now 9to5Mac reports that a reliable source told them that Apple is indeed releasing two iPhone models this Fall. One completely new high-end device with new design and a visually distinct bargain iPhone.
9to5Mac thinks that Apple will use the current iPod touch platform to build a low-cost iPhone. My colleague Robert already argued against Apple diluting the iPhone with a cheaper model here. I share his concerns, but Apple is already selling a cheap iPhone. It...

Apple iPhone 5 be thinner, lighter than current model according to WSJ
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
The Wall Street Journal is singing a new tune Wednesday morning, reaffirming parts of an earlier BGR report suggesting that Apple is preparing to release a redesigned iPhone 5 later this year. Citing anonymous sources in Apple’s supply chain, the paper reports this morning that Apple has placed component orders with key suppliers for fifth-generation iPhone parts. As has already been widely reported, Apple’s next iPhone is said to feature an 8-megapixel camera and Qualcomm radios. The report veers away from the consensus in suggesting that Apple’s next iPhone will not share its design with the current iPhone 4, however, and will instead be thinner and lighter than the current model. BGR repo...

iPhone 5 rumor claims 15 million units to come out of the assembly line; shipping to start in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Few would disagree with us if we say that the iPhone 5, or whatever it will be called when it hits the market, is among the most anticipated smartphones right now. Just look at all the speculation that Apple's next greatest creation is being subjected to – everybody is trying to guess what it will look like, how much it will cost, and, most importantly, when it will be up for sale.
Once again, the latest iPhone 5-related rumor comes from our favorite hit-or-miss source DigiTimes, which means that you might want to take it with a grain of salt. It is said that Pegatron Technology, a Taiwan-based notebook manufacturer, has received an order to produce 15 million iPhone 5s and is expected to st...

Parts suppliers detail timing for iPhone 5, iPad 3
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksCell PhonesAppleiPhone 4siPad 3
Taiwan-based companies that are part of the supply chain for the Apple iPhone 5 and the Apple iPad 3 have begun to prepare materials for the production of the two devices. Apple plans to launch just one new iPhone model this time. Meanwhile, the iPad 3 has just recently been added to the production schedule. Both will be produced in small volumes in August, with units ramping up in September and October, according to industry sources cited by DigiTimes.
Most market watchers have estimated that Apple's iPhone supply volume will only reach 20 million units in the third quarter and iPad's supply volume will only be at around 11 million to 12 million units due to the slower-than-expected progres...

Apple iPhone 3GS to be free on contract following iPhone 5 launch, analyst says
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 3GSiPhone 4s
Apple is set to finally hit the $0 on-contract mark with its entry-level iPhone 3GS once it launches the next-generation iPhone 5 later this year. In a note to investors on Wednesday, RBC Capital Markets General Manager Mike Abramsky claims Apple is expected to finally offer the phone for free in an effort to aggressively attack mid-market smartphone buyers and counter Android’s momentum. Abramsky sees this move more than doubling Apple’s global addressable market to 150 million smartphones, up from 64 million, and it will drastically accelerate Apple’s growth outside North America. In the U.S., this of course begs the question, how will Verizon Wireless stay competitive with AT&T? Apple doe...

China Mobile worker outs iPhone 5, due in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
A China Mobile employee allegedly revealed that the popular Chinese carrier will launch Apple’s fifth-generation iPhone this coming September, Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White wrote in a note to investors on Thursday. The news jibes with multiple earlier reports that Apple’s iPhone 5 is set to launch this September, though it may launch even sooner in the U.S. and other key markets. The news was first relayed by Chinese language website Bianews.com, which reported on Thursday that a China Mobile employee wrote that the carrier would launch the iPhone 5 in September in a post on Weibo.com, a micro-blogging service similar to Twitter. The post was subsequently deleted. Apple COO Tim ...

iPhone 5 rumored packing dual LED camera flash
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Apple's commitment to the iPhone as a camera phone might have grown as a rumor late Wednesday said it might jump to a dual LED flash. Edison Opto, Everlight Electronics, and Lite-On have all been raised as possible candidates. Both Edison and Lite-On have been stepping up their shipments of LED flashes to major phone designers, Digitimes heard, making them ideal candidates.

Apple iPhone 5 coming in September, latest report says
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
The Apple iPhone rumors go into overdrive this year because Steve Jobs didn’t introduce the 2011 model at WWDC and Bloomberg is reporting that the next iPhone (iPhone 5? iPhone 4GS?) will land in September, just in time for the back-to-school season.
The report says that the iPhone 5 will sport the new dual-core processor that can be found in the iPad 2 and it should also have a boosted camera. I’d expect it to be bumped up to 8 megapixels but find that the 5-megapixel camera in the current version is very, very good.
The report also says that the next iPhone will look similar to the latest one on the market, which is a direct dispute of another recent rumor which says that this version will...

Apple suppliers cut iPhone 4 production ahead of iPhone 5 launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4iPhone 4s
Printed circuit board (PCB) suppliers in Taiwan have noticed “disappointing orders” for iPhone and iPad hardware, according to DigiTimes. As a result, the suppliers have cut quotes by 10% on average for the second quarter, noting that there’s no sign of a rebound. The drop in iPhone hardware orders suggests that Apple’s highly anticipated next-generation iPhone is imminent; it’s largely expected that the company will take the wraps off of the device in September.

iPhone 5 could have new case design, possible August launch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Looks like Apple's latest handset might not be an iPhone 4S after all, with the Cupertino based company planning a brand new design for the smartphone.
BGR has cited a reliable source as expecting a "radical new case design for the upcoming iPhone, though we have not been given any additional details".
The website is also pointing to an Apple event at the beginning of August, aiming to get the iPhone 5 into stores by the end of that month.
Apple had until now been believed to be releasing iPhone 5 details at their iPod focussed annual September event. It may now be that they move iPod release information forward so as not to distract from the new phone launch.
The rumours of a case redesig...
