iPhone 5 coming in July ?!

The world expects iPhone 5 for the end of June or beginning of July as it was for the earlier versions. Analysts expect its features to bear some similitude to the iPad 2.  Steve Jobs stated that white would be available “on day one” referring to the iPad 2. That may perhaps be true of the white iPhone 5 as well. Some hints of the iPhone 5's features have begun to emerge, such as The Taiwan-based Economic Daily News (written in Chinese) and the Japanese blog Makotakara. These two are a whine with the latest news all related to iPhone5 launch details.

According to different sources, the essence of the talk is that Apple will desert the glass back for an aluminum one, as well as trench the external antenna, which has been a source of problems for Apple in case of iPhone4 and forced the company to launch free 'bumper' guards to prevent signal loss when the iPhone 4 was grasped very tightly.

The Chinese source claims, that the iPhone 5 production is to commence on July 6. The report suggests Apple will drop the infamously challenging steel outer frame with antenna of the iPhone 4, and have an iPad-style internal antenna sending and receiving cellular and Wi-Fi signals through the Apple logo on the back. Also it’s also pointed out that iPhone 5 will feature the A5 processor chip found in the iPad 2 along with new iOS5 operating system.

This is a lot more Beatles in our iPhones!

The rumor has been spread around the whole world, that the new generation of iPhone4 with the gigantic 64 GB memory is sold under the table... can you guess where? In China, of course.

MIC Gadget said the gadgets are available in a small quantity. The jumbo iPhone, which is most probably an engineering prototype, have a striking similarity to the lost iPhone prototype which made its way to Gizmodo. The website said it checked out the engineered prototype of the phone and that its owner said he acquired it "from a source who has a small quantity of these prototypes."

The report about the jumbo iPhone explains that if you go to Settings -> General -> About to check the storage capacity, it is indeed a 64GB model, running iOS 4.1. Additionally, it is not SIM-locked.

According to AppleInsider, it should be noted that the prototype, even if authentic, does not guarantee that Apple plans to release a 64GB iPhone 4. The only available iPhone4 is either sold in 16GB or 32GB configurations.

Though reports said the prototype was leaked from the Foxconn factory, there was no confirmation for this. It could also be a case of Apple deciding not to launch handsets based on this prototype but some units making their way to consumers in China.

AppleInsider also cited reports speculating that Apple may have decided against mass producing the jumbo phone due to cost constraints. May it be true or not, but we are all pleased to imagine even more Beatles staff in our iPhones….
