Speculation continues to increase over the forthcoming iPhone 5 release date, amidst growing rumours that the February 2011 release of the Verizon Wireless iPhone 4 has created a scarcity of vital components from key suppliers in Japan. Although the company are previously noted for their high-profile summer releases, Apple now look set to delay the original iPhone 5 release date, scheduled for June, until September. The recent earthquakes and subsequent tsunami have also affected the production of components, and the Japanese electronics industry is fighting against time to meet the demands of Apple and their gadget-hungry customer base.
American telecommunications giants, AT&T, have refused to confirm or deny speculation regarding the iPhone 5 release date, despite the Internet circulation of a statement allegedly gathered from an AT&T employee during the first week of May 2011. AT&T spokesperson, David Siegel, insisted that company policies prohibited any third-party comments relating to Apple products and the widely anticipated iPhone 5 release date. Reuters have already cited three individuals with direct knowledge of Apple products and services, and claim that the iPhone 5 release will be delayed until September to coincide with the release of the new iOS5 operating system.
The potential delays will only serve to increase demand and the latest iPhone5 review pages have revealed a host of exciting new features that look set to challenge the growing popularity of the HTC Thunderbolt Smartphone. Perhaps the most significant change is a switch to dual core processors that will be able to process information at overwhelming speeds. Apple will also be using improved graphic chip cards to maximise the quality of photographic images and video footage. The latest iPhone 5 news also confirms that the new model will be utilising superior 4G technology, giving consumers improved connection capabilities, faster Internet speeds and a better video communications experience.
Consumers waiting for confirmation of the iPhone 5 release date will be impressed by the new, thinner design that comes with a shatterproof screen. Broken screens have been a recurrent issue with previous iPhone releases, and the improved technology fulfils one of the biggest demands that users have placed on the product. Designed to be completely drop-resistant, the iPhone 5 will also be a breath of fresh air for those who have had to make potentially expensive insurance claims on earlier models.
Apple are also integrating a number of improved basic features into the new iPhone 5. The built-in speakers will feature improved HD audio and battery life has also been extended. 3G network users will be able to experience an excellent 14 hours of talk time, while those with a preference for the latest 4G alternative can enjoy a creditable 7 hours of charger-free communication. GPS satellite technology will also be integrated into the latest iPhone 5 release. Security will be enhanced and Apple have added face recognition technology to the new iPhone 5, which will serve as a potential deterrent to thieves.
With news of the iPhone 5 release date due at any time, consumers are positioning themselves to be first in line for what promises to be an innovative and ground-breaking product. Although cost has yet to be decided, users will also be able to enjoy a whopping 64GB of memory, although it remains unlikely that expansion options will be available. Until a release dates is confirmed, the iPhone 5 rumors look set to continue.
