iPhone 5 Releasing In October
The world is ancitipating the next-generation iPhones release to be in September. Now there are a number of tech blogs out there but All Things D is calling the September bluff. All Things D issued and article that stated “So those rumors claiming the iPhone 5 will debut in late September? They’re wrong. Instead, it’s going to be an October surprise — the month in which Apple plans to launch its next-gen iPhone.”
Does All Things D seem a little cocky with statement? Sure, but the blog has always had some relatively close sources when it comes to “rumors.” The rumors are only going to get worse over the next coming weeks.

Apple Looks To Leave Samsung And Work With TSMC On Next-Generation A6 Processors
Currently, Samsung is the only supplier of the A5 chips used in Apples infamous iPad 2. Apple may be looking to take their current business elsewhere for their next A6 processors. Reuters has reported that “Taiwan’s TSMC has begun trial manufacturing of next generation chips for Apple Inc’s mobile devices, a source with knowledge of the matter said on Friday, in a sign that the iPad maker is shifting from its traditional chip supplier, Samsung Electronics.”
With all the legal disputes going on in court with the “who infringed on who’s patents”, it would not be a surprise to see Apple look elsewhere. What company do you think will win over Apples business?

Fifth Generation iPod Touch May Be 3G Compatible And Launch This Fall
A Dutch blog named AppleSpot.nl issued a report yesterday stating that the next iPod touch may be 3G compatible. If revamped with the 3G connectivity, the phone would be similar to the iPad in delivering only data capabilities and no voice calling capabilities. It would also be similar to the iPad in the sense that you could walk into a wireless carriers store and grab it off the shelf.
Why the release of a 3G iPod seems highly unlikely:
- The next generation iPod is rumored to launch in September. September already seems like a busy month for Apple due to the expected release of their next iPhone and iPad.
- The release of the 3G iPod seems highly unlikely and 9to5Mac issued this on their report: “Note that 9to5Mac is putting a heavy amount of skepticism on this report because the blog’s track record is literally non-existent. In addition, they provided little information about the alleged 3G feature.”
Should Apple take the iPod to the next level and integrate the 3G capability?

Apple Will Release Two Different iPhones In September
So the battle over the last couple of months has been weather the next iPhone would be named the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S.
Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore is telling clients to expect and iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S to release in September. ”With Nokia and RIMM struggling,” he writes, “the time is right for Apple to aggressively penetrate the mid range smart-phone market (i.e. $300-500 category) to dramatically expand its [total addressable market] and market share.”
The information that Chris Whitmore has given investors, is suggesting that the iPhone 5 may have a redesigned feel to it, but the iPhone 4S will feature the same design as the current iPhone 4. He is also claiming that the iPhone 4S will be available for prepaid phone service for $349.
The rumors have started all over again. Do you think any of the information that Chris Whitmore suggests is accurate or is he just full of it?
