It would appear the recent rush of misty rumour and speculation connected to Apple’s unveiling of the next generation iPhone was largely on the money.
Moreover, the Cupertino-based giant has this week officially announced a vaguely mysterious October 4 media event by emailing “Let’s talk iPhone” invitations to technology outlets.
Although Apple has not said exactly what it will reveal during said presentation, the iPhone’s annual refresh is (over) due and industry watchers believe the San Francisco spotlight will indeed showcase the iPhone 4’s successor.
Of course, whether the smartphone in question arrives as merely a tweaked upgrade (i.e., the iPhone 4S) or a completely new handset (i.e., the iPhone 5) remains to be seen.
Associated features long-rumoured to be aboard the device include the likes of a slimmer and lighter chassis, a dual-core A5 processor, version 5.0 of Apple’s iOS operating system, an 8.0 mega-pixel camera, up to 64GBs of data storage, and support for iCloud services.
News of Apple’s event comes after AT&T and Sprint (both of which carry the iPhone) instructed employees that no vacation time is to be granted during the first two weeks of October—which suggests an impending major device launch.
We expect Apple’s new iPhone to be ready for retail by the middle of October.
