3-2-1 Countdown to iPhone 5 release

iPhone 5 is almost here! Where is the iPad mini in the process?

There is really no more argument. It is accepted far and wide that the iPhone 5 release will happen on September 12, 2012. The announcement has been all but confirmed by Apple and it doesn't really seem to be a secret to anyone.

Why?

Perhaps right now the focus on secrecy in Apple is on the new 8 inch iPad mini. All the iPhone 5 news and speculation only distracts the public from the sneak announcement of the iPad mini. Could that even happen on September 12 as well? That would certainly get the public talking even more. The new iPhone release will generate plenty of buzz on its' own and the iPhans are waiting for the day. This seems to suit Apple Inc. a little too well.  Is all this just conspiracy theory? Time will tell (or if the CEO makes the announcements, Tim will tell--sorry, had to be done!).

The pictures are released. The news is "announced" that the release is happening. People have ordered the new iPhones and really are just waiting to receive them. The buyers of second-hand-iPhones are waiting to purchase until the inevitable price-drops of a post-announcement season. Apple won the case in court for now. What is really left to be done?

Release, already. Release! So here is our suggestion:  Go ahead and release it on September 1 and surprise the whole world. Be spontaneous. Go for it. You can do no wrong, anyway, right? Go for it!

In the meantime, the iPhone release will be the topic of continued conversations, reports and "news." Although, unless Apple choses to take our suggestion, most of these reports and conversations will just be "fluff." You can discuss the new ideas that will be presented in the new hardware, you can talk about the lawsuits in court, but until the release of the new iPhone, there is one objection: "Heresay!"
