iPhone 5 Will Be Launch Mid-September

Apple is reportedly prepping for a launch of the iPhone 5 sometime between September 6 and 15. According to China Times (translated via MacRumors ), suppliers are currently preparing 400,000 trial run iPhone 5 units, with an initial shipment slated at 4 million units. As the iPhone 5 features guessing game picks up steam, Apple has not formally announced anything.

Rumors began to swirl this past June at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference when Apple's lack of iPhone 5 news suggested to some it was prepping for an iPhone announcement later in the year, likely in September. For the past three years Apple has held a media event in September, where it has introduced products in the iPod line, but this year the company is expected to launch the long-awaited iPhone 5 and a final version of iOS 5 at the same time too. iOS 5 is currently advertised on Apple's website as "coming this fall".

The Chinese publication also reports that the iPad 3, a widely rumored upgrade to the iPad 2 with a high-resolution display, is actually delayed until Thanksgiving due to component shortages. A recent report from Taiwan's Economic Daily claims the next-gen iPad display resolution will be five to six times higher than that of the iPad 2. However, some are skeptic that Apple will make the iPad 2, still a best seller, obsolete after nine months of availability.

The iPhone however, is due for a refresh, as the iPhone 4 was launched more than one year ago. Conflicting rumors over the past few months are split between an incremental upgrade to the iPhone 4, with an A5 dual-core chip (as found on the iPad 2), and a camera boost, or a rather more radical refreshed iPhone 5, as suggested by alleged cases for the upcoming device.

iPhone 3GS in India for Rs 19,990

Yes, you read that right. According to cellphone dealers, Apple is "re-launching" its two-year-old iPhone at a price of Rs 19,990 in India. The move is likely to counter cheap Android smartphones that have flooded the market recently. This particular version of iPhone will come with 8GB internal storage.

Manish Khatri, a mobile dealer in Mumbai, tweeted on Friday evening that shops had already received stock and the phone will be available from Saturday at the said price with one year official warranty. In Delhi too, several dealers said they had received stock of iPhone 3GS (8GB) on Thursday evening.

iPhone 3GS was originally released in June 2009. It has a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen (320 x 480 pixels) and is powered by a 600Mhz processor. However, as it happens in the case of Apple products, the hardware specifications can be misleading when it comes to performance and usability.

Apple's latest iOS version 4.3 supports iPhone 3GS and that makes the phone a worthy opponent to similarly-priced Android devices that have better hardware. Apple has also said that iOS 5 will work on iPhone 3GS though it is likely that not all features will be supported.

At the price of Rs 19,990, iPhone 3GS will directly compete with Samsung Nexus S , a phone that saw its price fall by over Rs 6,000 to touch Rs 19,999 a few weeks ago. Nexus S, which runs on Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread, has a 4-inch capacitive screen. It is powered by a 1Ghz processor, packs 512MB RAM and comes with 16GB internal storage.

Apple iPhone 5 Production to Start in September

Apple iPhone is always the hottest topic to discuss and these days, a lot of rumors are around us about the iPhone 5. One thing is confirmed that Apple will launch the next iPhone because they refresh their iPhone line every year and they will do it this year too but everyone have only one question, when it’s really coming out? From last 2-3 years, Apple was launching the new iPhone in June-July period, but this time there will be no iPhone in June-July time frame as AT&T confirmed it. We are hearing rumors that Apple will launch the next iPhone in September and they will also start production in September.

Now China Mobile’s employee is claiming that world’s largest mobile network China Mobile will be launching the iPhone in September, he posted this on Weibo.com which is a Chinese social network site; unfortunately the post is now deleted. Recently, Apple COO Tim Cook was in China and he met China Mobile executives and the reason of meeting was obviously new iPhone I think. China Mobile currently have 500 million users and 5 million out of them are iPhone users, so actually there are a big number of iPhone users in China and the next iPhone will increase it to the new level.

Currently, we don’t know what will be the official name of the next iPhone, is it iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S? We are hearing that it will be known as iPhone 4S, as we recently saw an image which is probably the image of next iPhone. It was almost like iPhone 4 and if the next iPhone will be known as iPhone 4S, then what can you expect from it? Probably, it will be running on a dual-core A5 chip, an 8 MP camera, bigger display, and I am sure it will be rocking on iOS 5. There are also rumors that next iPhone will be a completely redesigned product and will feature some mind blowing features. Well people, we can just make some guesses but I am sure Apple will clear the air after 2 months.
