iPhone 5 details revealed by source claiming hand-on experience with prototype

iPhone 5

iPhone 5 release date awaits as iPhone 4S gets iOS 5.0.1 battery fix

iPhone 5

GaplekNews--The iPhone 5 release date must wait another day, as Apple has released iOS 5.0.1 to clean up the battery life deficiency which had been experienced by a small number of iPhone 4S users (and conveniently mis-reported in some headlines as an “iPhone 4S battery defect affecting all users”). So much for the alt-fantasy in which the iPhone 4S was either so widely shunned by consumers, or recalled altogether, that Apple had to rush the iPhone 5 to market as a replacement. In reality, the iPhone 4S is setting sales records. And while its battery bug was very real and very painful for those who suffered from it, they turned out to be quite the small minority. In other words, with iOS 5.0.1 update being installed by 4S users today, those rabid Apple haters trying to create yet another “iPhone defect” conspiracy are back to the drawing board. And those hoping the 4S would implode so the iPhone 5 they want will arrive sooner are back to square one as well, with its release date still not likely to happen before the middle of next year. That doesn’t mean the faux-controversy won’t continue…

from englishhany

Consumers and investors were disappointed, and there was even talk of the end of innovation at Apple. Why did Apple launch the iPhone 4S instead of an iPhone 5?

iPhone 5 release date sets up 2012 Verizon-AT&T-Sprint 4G LTE battle

from beatweek

GaplekNews--4G LTE is irrelevant in 2011, which is why the iPhone 4S doesn’t have it. It may also help explain why the iPhone 5 didn’t arrive this year and is instead facing a 2012 release date. Based on the television and billboard ads from carriers like Verizon and AT&T, one might think 4G LTE networks are everywhere, lurking on every corner, hiding in the closet ready to jump out at you, and any phone which doesn’t have LTE built in must have something wrong with it. The reality in 2011 stands in stark contrast. Verizon has built just enough LTE towers to cover about a third of it’s customers, and that gives the carrier the runaway lead. When we dismissed AT&T last month for not having lifted an LTE finger, they corrected us by proudly informing us that they’ve erected LTE tower in parts of five cities. And while the arrival of the iPhone on Sprint means that the carrier now plans to transition from its current quasi-4G network to an LTE future, that future is nowhere right now. That’ll have all changed by this time next year. But that’s why the iPhone 5 won’t arrive until things have changed. It’ll lead the charge in the 4G LTE arms race between the carriers, even though the iPhone has no LTE presence now. In the mean time, the competing LTE-enabled phones on the market are nearly defective by definition…
