For sure, a lot of Apple fans out there are eagerly waiting for the next iPhone version. There have been speculations that the next-gen iPhone will be equipped with a larger display and will be housed in a completely redesigned form factor. Of course, these specs will remain as leaks unless we get an official word of confirmation from Apple. And speaking of which, we’ve heard from recent reports that it is very likely for the iPhone 5 to make an appearance at the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The said event will take place in San Francisco this coming June 2012.
In fact, the iPhone 5 has long been part of our pool of rumors. At first, there were hunches that the phone will be equipped with a more improved version Siri, the AI virtual assistant for iPhones. Then, there were leaks stating that the iOS handset will flaunt a bigger screen. Despite of these, none can really confirm the existence of the said next-gen iPhone.
It wasn’t until last month that we’ve heard something that could somewhat hint the phone’s early production. A certain Foxconn employee did leak that the iPhone 5 is currently being prepared for mass production. The anonymous tipster even added that the next-gen Apple handset will be made thicker and longer than the current iPhone 4S and it will not be offered as a teardrop-shaped phone. There’s also a possibility that the iPhone 5 will be the first phone to make use of Sprint’s blazing fast 4G LTE.
As of now, all that we can do is hope that the iPhone 5 will be announced sooner so that we can prepare our dough. Come to think of it, iOS handsets usually don’t come cheap. The iPhone 4S, for example, is currently being sold for 649 USD. That’s if you skip those two-year contracts from Sprint, AT&T and Verizon.
