Apple postpones iPhone 5 launch

Apple may delay the release of iPhone 5 phones every year (June or July) until the end of the year, because the Verizon iPhone 4 version has just appeared not long ago.

In the past 4 years, Apple has often released a new version of iPhone in June or July every year. And in the past three years, Apple has revealed its new iPhone at the World Developers Conference (WWDC), which takes place every June.

However, an early press conference announcing Apple's time of the WWDC Conference did not mention anything about the iPhone 5 phone. At this press conference, Apple's senior vice president of marketing has not published any information about the new hardware but it's all about the software. ' At this year's Conference, we will reveal the future of iOS and Mac OS ', he said at the press conference. That means there is no indication that the new iPhone will be revealed in Apple's program at WWDC this year.

Thus, WWDC this year will be the 2011 software program, not the hardware event. Moreover, a recent article confirmed that Apple has not ordered parts of iPhone 5. Apple usually orders parts of the phone for 6 months before its launch. So if this rumor is true, Apple will not have enough time to assemble the iPhone to prepare for June or July 2011, even if the company has started ordering today.

Instead, Apple may wait until September or October to release iPhone 5, after the fiscal year 2012 begins. The current fiscal year of Apple ends on September 24. Newly rumored smartphones have larger screens, better equipped cameras, including NFC chip technology and aluminum casing.

The reason Apple postponed the iPhone 5 as every year is probably because of the Verizon iPhone 4 version, which was announced in January and released in February. Expected, CDMA version of iPhone 4 will have about 100 million potential customers willing to spend money to buy. Therefore, Apple may want to avoid the " self-shooting script " by launching a new iPhone soon.

On the other hand, with the late release of iPhone 5, Apple will focus on attracting more customers to buy iPhone 4 CDMA and make Mas OS X Lion operating system have a more prominent role at WWDC this year.
