Apple Inc. plans on releasing the iPhone 5 in September, according to testimony from “two people familiar with the project,” said Bloomberg on Wednesday.
The report details information given by unnamed sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The iPhone leakers “asked not to be identified because the details aren’t public.”
Some of the details they released include the possibility that “Apple pushed back the release of the next iPhone –its fifth—to coincide with the release of the new iOS 5.”
If this is true, the iPhone 5 will most likely run on the iOS 5, dubbed “Telluride”, and include a slew of new features that were demonstrated at the Apple World Wide Developer’s Conference earlier in the month.
According to Bloomberg’s sources, the device will include the new 1-GHz A5 dual-core processor, previously placed into Apple’s iPad 2, which will allow the device to process information much faster.
“The release of a new iPhone may help Apple cut in to Android’s market share,” says Charlie Wolf, an analyst at Needham & Co. in New York in an interview with Bloomberg.
Google has been gaining shares of the smartphone market much faster than Apple this year, marketing a strategy that gives their Android operating system away for free. The iPhone 5’s new iOS and processing hardware may change this.
Bloomberg’s sources also mentioned the iPad 3, stating that it will have a screen that is a third higher in resolution than the previous iPad 2.
Bloomberg’s sources also state that the iPhone 5 “will closely resemble the iPhone 4.”
