iPhone 5 release dates...
So of course the matter of the iPhone being released will be speculated upon until there is any concrete information out there. There already is a lot of this. Release date of the iPhone 5 will most certainly be one of our obsessions here too and will be relayed as soon as possible. Don't worry!
Are there any tell-tale signs? That depends on your definition of tell-tale. There are some recent interesting occurrences that do point to the release date being later rather than earlier. One of these is the fact that Verizon is now carrying them. "Why would that have any effect on it?" you might ask. In some ways it doesn't. The actual fact that Verizon carries iPhones doesn't effect the process. But the way that this is happening tends to point to the fact that the release of the iPhone 5 is not on the immediate horizon. If it were, it seems to make sense that Apple and Verizon would have waited a bit to integrate the new technology into the premier of this marriage of service and hardware.
Other good clues in the mystery surrounding the Apple iPhone 5 include the recent announcement of the release of Beta 4.3 from Apple. This is rumored to be happening in the next couple of months. Now of course they could be late. But you see the point: If they were going to release iPhone 5 in February or even March (and probably April), the release of Beta 4.3 would not even be a blip on the radar screen in comparison.
The other question which only Apple can answer (and may or may not currently know) is how much time is too little time to release the iPhone 5, considering that technology jump won't be significant enough to keep the "wow" factor is the release of iPhone 5 is too close to iPhone 4! The fact is that customers have come to expect a significant jump in capability between the numbers after the prefix. It will take a reasonable amount of time to make this happen, even by the incredibly talented people at Apple. A premature release will set them back and could be catastrophic for the whole franchise, because there will have to be a rush to put out another phone that satisfies and that rush could cause another premature launch with underwhelming results and then the whole thing has down-hill momentum. So no-one should underestimate the importance of the release date of <a href="http://buyiphone5.blogspot.com/">iPhone 5</a>.
Another fact is that smartphones in the competition are only getting better and better with competitors like Google in the pond. Android phones are coming out from several companies and the system will inevitably get more and more user friendly (remember it's soccer moms and teens that are going to bring market-share!). This only ups the stakes for this next release. Maybe you are thinking "Yeah yeah! This has been true for every other iPhone release as well!" You are correct, but is a screw-up in the preseason, mid-season, playoffs, or the championship most crucial? IPhone is not pre-season and I don't want to kill you with the analogy, so I'll stop there... When is the championship? I don't know, but if iPhone 5 doesn't make the cut, the answer may be never.
