Report: Apple to ship new iPhone 5 in September


HONG KONG — Apple's next-generation iPhone will have a faster processor and will begin shipping in September, three people with direct knowledge of the company's supply chain said.



The production of the new iPhone will start in July/August and the smartphone will look largely similar to the iPhone 4, one of the people said on Wednesday.
The iPhone — introduced in 2007 with the touchscreen, on-demand application template now adopted by its rivals — remains the gold standard in the booming smartphone market.


Reports on the timeline of the new iPhone launch vary, though it is largely expected that Apple will likely refresh its iPhone 4 later this year.
The sources declined to be identified because the plans for the new iPhone were not yet public. An Apple spokeswoman in Hong Kong was not available for comment.


The iPhone is one of Apple's most successful products, with more than 16 million sold in the last quarter of 2010 and the product accounted for more than a third of the company's sales in the quarter.


The current iPhone 4 was launched by Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs in June last year and began shipping the same month in 2010.



Apple sources many of its components from Taiwan-based suppliers, many of whom are expected to benefit from an uptick in sales as some of them rely on the U.S. company for about 20-40 percent of their business, said Vincent Chen, an analyst at Yuanta Securities.
"For some suppliers, Apple is their cash cow, or their bread and butter," Chen said.


"With all these versions being launched so frequently, it will be the so-called low-margin suppliers, such as those that assemble the phones, who will benefit the most."


Suppliers to the new iPhone include camera module maker Largan Precision Co Ltd, touchscreen panel maker Wintek Corp and case maker Foxconn Technology Co Ltd, two of the people said.


The companies would begin production either in July or August before shipping components to Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, flagship of Foxconn Technology Group, for assembly, they said.


Officials at Largan, Wintek and Foxconn declined to comment.
On Wednesday, Largan's Taipei-listed shares ended up 3.7 percent, Hon Hai rose 4.3 percent and Foxconn rose 6.6 percent, outpacing the benchmark TAIEX share index's 2 percent advance.


Apple, a big purchaser of touchscreen displays and flash memory, is also dependent on Japan for some of its key components, sparking concern that the disruption due to the crisis there may hurt its gross margins.
Apple is expected to report another spectacular quarter on Wednesday, tempered by growing caution over how supply constraints will squeeze margins and restrain iPhone and iPad sales.

I'm not particularly worried by that, the information isn't sent to Apple / The Cloud, and I played with the app earlier - pretty cool to map everywhere the iPhone has been.

I buy every other gen, so will pass on the 5 and get the 6, think that's the best compromise with Apple stuff.

I have the first one the 3g and my two year aggrement is up in july. I called last week and the guy told me to wait till Sept to get the iphone 5 instead of upgrading to the 4 now because it will be 4g and it will have face reconigiton activation. I asked him how much it would be and he said either 499 or 599. Screw that. I will stick with my 3g. It works fine.

apple is notorious for this, but the sheep keep on following. Ipad 50 just got released recently too. Until the buyers cool off, apple will be releasing a new model almost twice a year.

I am particularly worried by companies that do this sort of thing without my consent, if I wanted to keep a log of everywhere I've been with the phone, I would have done it myself.

This type of abuse is the very one why I won't buy phones with a built-in GPS (and if you think the information is not sent, thats fine, but how long before a exploit gets in and SENDS the file, NOT to apple but to who knows where?)

This phone is sick fast. The sreen is nicce and big too. They are also giving you the hotspot feature for free for a month.
If you live in or just outside the city the 4G LTE network is just like you are sitting at a hardline cable internet connection.
FYI if you go to a non verizon owned store you can usually talk the salesman down between $50 and $100 bucks. If they balk just say "well fine, Ill just order it online"

the Iphone is the best cellphone on the market hands down. The droid looks like you have a boner in your pants, to long, shitty apps.

And if you don't have an iphone, you don't have an iphone.
