| Apple iphone 5 |
9to5Mac is reporting that it is heard the Apple iPhone 5 - the slightly taller, wider and thinner version "is seeing continued design and production delays, at least on assembly line (Apple has multiple production sources - Pegatron, Foxconn, etc). They therefore think that Apple iPhone 5 will be delayed slightly at the least and might even see shortages all the way in to 2012."
The Apple iPhone 5 is elusive smartphone. It is going to either be similar to the iPhone 4, with a spec-bump or come with a redesigned body. Our bet is Apple will take the wraps off both models, but it seems the Apple iPhone 5 might see a shortage.
A shortage? Is that a surprise? Not . Whether it is a production issue or a consumer, Apple's mobile devices hve historically managed to sell out - as was the case with the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Shortages are to be expected. The issue is, Apple won't be able to meet demand.
Meanwhile, Case-Mate who "accidentally" posted pics (since removed) of cases for the Apple iPhone 5 online also backs claims that the gizmo will sport a brand spanking new form factor, going as far as to say that the screen will be 4-inches, the home button will elongated, camera will jump up to 8-megapixels, and will feature wireless charging.
For positive, iPhones are en route - of them - but what is the hold up? We have heard nothing about Apple's annual September music event, that usually brings with it redesigned iPods. Possibly those production issues are actual. The only way to guarantee you get an Apple iPhone 5 will be to pre-order as soon as Apple and its wireless carrier partners all buyers to do so.
Case-Mate claims both an iPhone 4S and Apple iPhone 5 model will be launching in early October. The New York Times also says an Apple iPhone 5 is on its way in the next few weeks.
