iPhone 5 release is almost certainly not going to be until Fall. Of course it's possible that Apple will once again pull off a miracle, but right now there is more and more evidence piling up that the new release of the iPhone 5 is NOT imminent. There is more evidence, which is only the latest in a growing pool of evidence that is pointing more and more to a "late" release of Iphone 5. Is it fair to say "late" when Apple never promised a release date? you may be asking... Let's say "later" if you don't feel comfortable with the term used above for whatever reason. The fact is that Apple generally releases it's new items in the June to July time frame with a little later release of the iPod at a special event geared to releasing iPods later in the Summer. While Apple has invited people to see a "preview" of it's recent Iphone technology, it seems to be focusing on the operating systems and software side of this phone, rather than showing off new flashy hardware. Once again, we may all be wrong and all the rumors may be just for theatrics, but the body of evidence against this theory is growing.
The latest rumble in the growing avalanche is a notice from AT&T to many customers who were expecting upgrades to their iPhones this summer that they are not expecting a release from Apple in June or July. They state that as soon as new model release dates are available that their customers can find out about it on the AT&T website.
Interesting, we have already asked the question on this site: Will the Iphone 5 release happen in 2011? There are still no open admissions that it will not be ready for a busy Christmas shopping season late this year. But then again, there are no OPEN admissions that the iPhone 5 release date is not going to be this summer, though it seems obvious that it won't.
So we will probably see a bunch of articles why it's a better time than ever to get the Iphone 4 and that the upgrades won't be significant and that there will need to be a "fix" release soon after anyway. Of course you can find that speculation anywhere. Our goal here is to keep track of the iPhone 5 release and hopefully give you the most accurate information about that topic. Whether or not you run out and buy and Iphone 4 or wait for the release of the Iphone 5, that's your choice and we hope you make the right one for you!
