London: The new Apple iPhone 5 is expected to be announced at a press event on Wednesday September 12th at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center and reports say that release date of the next generation phone is September 21, nine days after the announcement.
The excitement of gadget lovers is being increased as the date of the release coming closer, the reports say that the iPhone 5 will feature a taller, 1136 x 640 display, improved internals, a thinner design, and more. Apple’s new iPhone is codenamed N42 and will ship at the same price points at the iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 5 will also feature global LTE, but the WSJ reports that, unlike with the third-generation iPad, the new iPhone will support global versions of LTE for Asia and Europe in addition to the United States. The report’s sources say that it is “unlikely” that all carriers will support the LTE feature, though.
Apple Inc.’s AAPL +0.62% next iPhone will work on the fastest wireless networks around the world—including in the U.S., Europe and Asia—though it is unlikely to be available on every carrier, 9to5mac quoted people familiar with the matter.
The technical compatibility with so-called LTE networks removes a big competitive danger for Apple and gives carriers a chance to sell their fastest data services to Apple’s huge base of iPhone customers.
In addition to LTE, the iPhone 5 will feature a taller, 1136 x 640 display, improved internals, a thinner design, and more. Apple’s new iPhone is codenamed N42 and will ship at the same price points at the iPhone 4S.
leaks about iPhone 5:
The latest chink in the hitherto well-guarded iPhone 5 fortress occurred over the weekend when Jimmy Lin, a Taiwanese-born popstar who is extremely popular in China, accidentally stated in his Weibo update that the new iPhone will indeed be longer than its previous iteration, and also posted images of the new iPhone as well, suggesting that Apple has offered him its latest smartphone ahead of the official launch.
Lin wrote in a blog post: “Today I can confirm that the upcoming iPhone 5 will be longer and will have aluminum back like the iPad. With its four-inch screen and thin body it feels about the same in the hand [as iPhone 4S did]. The iPhone 5 doesn’t use the standard 30-pin dock connector; instead Apple put a smaller 19-pin connector.”
“It uses the same iPad aluminium alloy and a 4-inch screen, which has become thinner so it feels almost the same in hand [translated],” Lin said in Weibo, with a photo collection of the suspected new iPhone.
Lin added that the headphone jack also has been placed at bottom of the handset, and as reported, the iPhone 5 will use a smaller 19-pin connector instead of current 30 pin connector.
Other leaks have revealed the sensors, buttons and covers for the sixth generation iPhone.
The images, came from a website called iColoOS.com, show a number of parts of the new device. There is even a mystery part attached to the images, which is a thin sheet of metal presumed to be used as a protective EMI shielding for the back of the phone.
Other leaks of the iPhone have been the motherboard leak and the USB charging cable leaks but nothing has been confirmed by Apple.
