Apple is bound to release a new iPhone sooner or later. At this point in time it is rumoured that the next iPhone is going to be called iPhone 5. The new 2012 iPhone 5 is widely anticipated. A source reveals that Apple’s next iPhone is ready for production at Foxconn factories in China, and that the company plans on releasing it this summer.
Last year before the iPhone 4S had materialized, all eyes were on Apple to release iPhone 5 which was going to be the next big thing. Apple shocked everyone by announcing iPhone 4S which happens to be a slight upgrade over the pre-existing iPhone 4. With that out of the way it is obvious that the company will release a brand new iPhone this year or it risks losing its massive share in the global smartphone industry.
We have already heard a lot of rumours regarding iPhone 5 and we can’t be really sure about any one of them until and unless Apple releases some official detail. Given the fact that Apple is a very secretive company, we can’t expect them to let the people know what they’re going to release.
This source reveals that several iPhone 5 samples are making the rounds in Foxconn factories. It is not yet known which particular sample is going to be the new 2012 iPhone 5. All of these sample do have some similarities. They all have a screen which is bigger than 4 inches. None of the samples have design or form factor that is similar to iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 is any way. Despite previous rumours the samples are not teardrop shaped, which means that the iPhone 5 is not going to have a Macbook Air like shape. The variations in these samples are very minute and there is no substantial difference in the dimensions of all these samples.
A summer 2012 launch is predicted as one of these samples is about to go in mass production very soon. It is possible that Apple may announce their new 2012 iPhone 5 at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference.
