So when would the next iPhone be released?
When you say “next iPhone” it must be “iPhone 5”, right?
Well, Apple must be naming it “iPhone 5” since everyone expecting iPhone 4S to be called iPhone 5. This must be a sure thing. “iPhone 5” it is!iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 were announced at WWDC. Well, the original iPhone was introduced at MacWorld but it was announced to go on sale at WWDC. So this “iPhone 5” must be announced at WDDC 2012.
Not so fast.
iPhone 4S was introduced and released in Fall 2011 instead of WWDC time. Despite of what many analysts, journalists and pseudo-journalists believed, Apple did not plan to announce iPhone 4S at WWDC. The form factor was already decided long before the rumors of bigger screen, tapered edges, teardrop shaped, curved glass, and many others surfaced.
In due time when Apple starts seeding iOS 6, you may speculate again. In the meantime your guesses are as good as the analysts, journalists and pseudo-journalists.
