iOS 5, iCloud May Come On Oct 10, Followed By iPhone 5!

iOS 5, iCloud May Come On Oct 10 http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Continuing on with iPhone 5 rumors, the latest is that it will come a few days after October 10. This is based on some information that AppleCare personnel revealed about increased call volume on and around October 10. We can also expect iCloud to be released with iOS 5.
Traditionally Apple released the iOS or iPhone software, then a few days prior to the new device release;

In 2009, Apple publicly released version 3.0 of what was then known as "iPhone Software" on Wednesday, June 17 -- two days before the iPhone 3GS went on sale. And last year, iOS 4 became available on Monday, June 21, before the Thursday launch of the iPhone 4.

So logically, if the increased call volume to AppleCare leads to iOS 5 release to public on October 10, then the iPhone 5 will follow after a few days. If we are to believe a French Carrier, iPhone 5 will be on the shelves, on October 15th!
iOS 5 was released to developers a while ago and jailbroken iOS 5 is already in the ether.
We will wait!

iPhone 5 On Sprint Network In Mid October!

Sprint iPhone 5 http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

Rumor has it that some of the 52 million strong Sprint customers will be able to get hold of an Apple iPhone that works on their network. WSJ reported that it has received news from reliable sources that the No. 3 carrier will get the iPhone and Apple will have another sales outlet for it's iPhone 5 line up.

While this is good news, it also indicates that the iPhone 5 will be delayed some what, later than the expected September release. It is a delay that will affect waiting users as well as big boys on the wall street as iPhone 5, will hit the market later than expected and too late to contribute to sales in Apple's fiscal fourth quarter, which ends in September. This also confirmes our earlier iPhone 5 rumor that it will arrive in October.

We too are considering ditching AT&T and taking a ride on another carrier with unlimited data and the likelihood of going with Sprint now much larger, as some of our colleagues are true iPhone iPad fans.



Verizon Wireless and AT&T, the two largest wireless carriers, measured by subscribers, will begin selling the phone in mid-October as well, according to two people familiar with the matter.



Sprint had more than 52 million subscribers at the end of the second quarter, compared with 106 million for Verizon and nearly 99 million for AT&T.

iPhone 5 Rumor Updated, It Will Come In October!

iPhone 5 Rumor http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
The rumor that the new iPhone will come in September seems to hold no water according to the latest rumor by All Things D. Sources with Knowledge (SwK) has told them that the phone will arrive on store shelves in October.
The other rumor that AT&T has supposedly blocked out employee vacations during last two weeks of September must then for launching an Android phone perhaps?
“I don’t know why AT&T’s calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it’s not for an iPhone launch,” a source familiar with Apple’s plans said.
Still there is no solid information on the the date of release nor the device. But I am sure it will be something similar to shrunk iPad2, Dual core processor, dual mode baseband and dual cameras. Hope it will not kill people like "iPad2 Kills" or the other iPhone Kills.

iPhone5 Rumors Keep Adding, NFC, A5 Processor And So On

iPhone 5 http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
I guess untill Apple comes out with a definitive answer regarding the iPhone 5, there will be more rumors.The latest comes fro China Times and according to them the device is in production state and has an improved antenna and a metal case or chassis and will be ready to launch in third quarter of 2011.
There is also information about NFC (Near Field Communication) chip to be coupled with an e-wallet service allowing users to leave their wallets behind. Like in Japan where most of the monitory transactions like buying a railway or bus ticket, a cup of coffee or many other stuff offered in vending machines are done with ones phone. The Google Nexus S and Google Nexus S 4G already has the NFC chips embedded so it is only natural that iPhone keeps up! :)
In addition to the antenna correction (remember the antennagate) the iPhone 5 screen will also have more real estate with an 4" screen instead of 3.5 inch that they have now.
Next improvement comes from the processor and will have tha same processor as the iPad 2, a dual core A5 processor.
The China Times als speaks of an Apple manufacturing plant in Brazil, dedicated to producing Apple product which plans to begin production in 2013.

iPhone5 Delayed! Of course It's Rumor Time

iPhone5 Delayed http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Business insider is quoting an analyst saying that Apple will delay the Apple's iPhone 5 till September, sighting the supply chain issues. But he is also saying that;

Apple is planning to build 100 million iPhones during calendar 2011, "much stronger" than Street estimates and the firm's prior estimate of 75 million. And he has heard that Apple has boosted its internal iPad target to 45 million units, up from 38 million previously

I guess he is trying to boost Apple (AAPL). Good for you and Good for me and certainly good for Apple, if the market believes you.
